The Best Alémais Dresses to Buy Now: 12 Editor’s Picks by Occasion

The best Alémais dress to buy now is the Kenny Midi Dress, at $790. For a gown it is the Adeline Drape Gown, and for a linen shirtdress the Sophia. This list is limited to Alémais dresses that are in stock at Luxury Handbags and still in production at the brand in September 2026, which rules out several of the most searched-for styles. The Charlotte Gown, Samira Gown, Nadia Sundress and Ondine Mini Dress have sold through at Alémais, and we say what to buy instead of each. Prices are Luxury Handbags prices in US dollars on the day of writing.

The twelve, by occasion

1. The print dress: Kenny Midi Dress, $790

Karlee Mackie’s folk floral bandana print in deep red and cream on a viscose and linen cloth, with a square neck, a fitted bodice with appliqué panels and an A-line skirt. The brand calls the fit regular, and it is the one to buy if you want the Alémais print at its most wearable.

2. The shirtdress: Ezra Silk Shirtdress, $890

A Western toile in rust and cream on burgundy silk, with the relaxed shirtdress shape the brand is known for. Belt it for dinner, leave it open over a swimsuit.

3. The linen shirtdress: Sophia Shirtdress, $770

European linen with a point collar, a drop waist, a gathered skirt and a rouleau belt, plus a ramie slip. This is the relaxed shirtdress shape that made Alémais a holiday staple. Take your usual size for the look as designed.

4. The gown: Adeline Drape Gown, $890

Chocolate jacquard with the damask woven in tone on tone, an off-the-shoulder neckline on an adjustable halter band, a draped hip panel and a side split. The quietest thing Alémais makes, and the one for a black-tie wedding.

5. The handwork gown: Dillon Applique Halter Gown, $790

A halter gown with beaded appliqué scrollwork across the fitted bodice, an open back and a gathered A-line skirt, in a viscose and cotton cloth. The piece to choose if the handwork is the point.

6. The silk dress: Ace Silk Scarf Dress, $1,270

Silk twill cut as a scarf dress, with a Western postcard print engineered to the panels, a cut-out at the front waist, self-ties at the shoulder and a handkerchief hem. The most expensive dress in the current range.

7. The mini: Kenny Mini Dress, $690

The same Karlee Mackie floral as the midi, at mini length with a mock neck and full-length flared sleeves, cut relaxed. Wear it with a flat sandal in summer and a tall boot in autumn.

8. The day mini: Carrie Mini Dress, $590

A ditsy floral in gold and pale blue on cream, in a linen, cotton and silk jacquard. Fitted and sleeveless, with an exaggerated ruffle along the side seams and shoulders and a low scoop back.

9. The navy dress: Banderra Midi Dress, $770

A cream floral placement print with stripe borders on navy European linen, fitted through the bodice with an empire waist and short puff sleeves. It reads as a navy dress from across a room, and it is the Alémais to buy if you do not wear colour.

10. The sundress: Fish Sticks Sundress, $640

European linen with a fitted bust, adjustable straps, a shirred back panel, in-seam pockets and an A-line skirt, in the abstract fish print from the Autumn/Winter resort drop. The lightest dress on this list.

11. The ballet dress: Island Cove Ballet Day Dress, $680

A sleeveless linen midi with a fitted bust, a deep V front and back, adjustable ties at the shoulder and an A-line skirt, in the Island Cove placement print. The closest current shape to the sold-out Nadia and Antoinette sundresses.

12. The embroidered dress: Wanda Embroidered Shirtdress, $1,060

A relaxed European linen shirtdress with embroidered motifs and a contrast print at the collar, placket and short sleeves. The one that photographs like a much more expensive dress.

If you were looking for a dress that has sold out

Alémais makes each print for one season and rarely repeats it, so the styles people search for by name are often gone within months. These are the most searched Alémais dresses that have sold through at the brand, and the closest live match for each.

Coveti’s partner boutiques sometimes hold the last sizes of a cleared style, so a sold-out name can still show a size on its product page. If it does, it is genuine earlier-season stock and it will not be restocked.

How to choose between them

• Print and plain. Nine of the twelve are printed. The Adeline gown, the Wanda shirtdress and the Banderra midi are the ones for a wardrobe built on neutrals.
• Fit. The brand describes the Kenny Midi Dress and the Carrie as fitted and regular, the Kenny Mini and the shirtdresses as relaxed. Every product page carries the brand’s own fit line, and the Alémais size guide explains what each one means.
• Cloth. Linen for heat, silk for evening, the jacquards of the Kenny, Carrie and Adeline for anything in between. The pure linen pieces hand wash. The silk, jacquard and appliqué pieces are dry clean.
• Price. The dresses here run from $590 to $1,270. Shipping is by DHL Express and FedEx, insured, and duties are collected on delivery for most countries. Details on the shipping page.
