Verified claims
- fit
- Slim, body-skimming fit through the torso and sleeves, falling to a maxi length.
- sizing
- The published 125 cm (49.25 inches) length was measured on a size 38 sample, which is smaller than the offered 40–46 run.
- lining
- Polyamide-elastane slip lining (82% polyamide / 18% elastane) supplies much of the garment's stretch.
- sheerness
- Slightly sheer overall, with the tonal jacquard pattern contrasting against a more transparent knit ground.
- sheerness
- Coverage can decrease where the knit stretches over the bust, hips or seat.
- pattern
- Tonal black-on-black paisley jacquard that reads mainly through texture and light.
- construction
- Knit jacquard motif is knitted stitch by stitch, making it softer and stretchier than woven jacquard.
- construction
- Dense jacquard areas can knit tighter and feel slightly firmer than the sheer ground.
- hand
- Viscose-rich knit drapes fluidly, falls closely around the body and supports easy movement.
- care
- Delicate dry clean only; the care listing also says to have it professionally cleaned.
- care
- Iron at low temperature, with or without steam.
- recovery
- Viscose/polyester jacquard recovers well but may relax slightly over a long day of wear.
- closure
- Small buttoned teardrop opening at the back neck; no visible front closures.
- neckline
- Crew neck with long, slim sleeves that continue the jacquard pattern.
- styling
- Black tonal paisley maxi reads as versatile for evening, occasion or polished daywear.
- value
- At 2325 CAD, the price reflects Etro's Italian luxury positioning and jacquard knit craftsmanship.
- heritage
