Metaya Crocheted Maxi Dress
The Isabel Marant Metaya is a black, slightly stretch, crocheted maxi dress with a crew neck, thin cords that tie behind the neck, and a deep U-shaped scoop back trimmed with scalloped crochet and small silvery beads. It features a fitted bodice and upper hip area with a partial lining in stretch black mesh, while the lower skirt is made of an open, sheer crochet pattern that extends to the hem. Measuring 55 inches (140 cm) from the top of the shoulder, this dress combines a dense crocheted knit with decorative openwork and a raw, textured finish.

Product Insights
The Metaya Crocheted Maxi Dress by Isabel Marant uses a cotton-viscose-paper blend for a fluid drape with subtle sheen, where 25% paper yarn prevents openwork from collapsing. Its airy pointelle and ladder stitches, combined with a deep U-shaped back adjustable via drawstring and neck ties as sole support, create a breezy silhouette. However, it demands dry cleaning and humidity-free storage, and requires backless undergarments or a braless look due to the semi-sheer skirt and open back, with careful tie knots and nude seamless pieces advised.
Verified claims
- Hand feel
- Cotton-viscose-paper blend yields fluid drape and soft hand.
- Structural hold & sheen
- The 25% paper yarn prevents crochet openwork from collapsing and adds a subtle sheen.
- Care
- The dress requires dry cleaning and humidity-free storage to protect the paper yarn.
- Drape balance
- Paper, viscose, and cotton balance rigidity and fluidity for a graceful drape.
- Openwork
- Pointelle and ladder stitches in paper-blend yarn create vertical sheer openwork for breathability.
- Undergarments
- Backless undergarments required due to the deep U-shaped back opening.
- Drawstring
- A drawstring lets the wearer tighten or loosen the back opening.
- Neck ties
- Neck ties provide the sole support; a double knot prevents slipping.
- Sizing
- Order your usual size due to the slim fit and slight stretch.
- Sheerness
- Semi-sheer crochet skirt with paper fiber that keeps lace crisp; wear nude seamless undergarments.
- Coverage
- Deep scoop back and thin neck ties require braless or adhesive bra and a secure knot.
- Cleaning
- Dry clean only; machine washing damages paper yarn and beads.
- Storage
- Store flat in low humidity with silica gel and acid-free tissue; avoid hanging to prevent the knit from stretching.
- Collection context
- Part of Isabel Marant's LA RIVIERA collection, designed for warm-weather getaways.
- Design features
- Adjustable open back, airy openwork, and a paper-blend yarn that gives the openwork a crisp, sculptural hold.
- Undergarment tips
- The deep back calls for a backless bra or braless approach, and nude seamless undergarments minimize visible lines under the semi-sheer crochet skirt.
- Bead security
- Beads are securely attached but no spare beads or repair kit are included.
- Fiber composition
- The crocheted shell is made of 45% cotton, 30% viscose, and 25% paper.
- Back depth
- The U-shaped back opening drops well below the shoulder blades and leaves no horizontal back band coverage.
- Length
- The dress is a 55-inch maxi dress.
