Description
Etel is a partially fitted dress emphasizing the waist, with a two-piece wrap-style front bodice and shoulder darts in the back bodice. It boasts gathers at the waist on both the front and back, with a bias-cut skirt featuring waist elastic. The back skirt is contoured with waist darts. Etel's design includes an extended shoulder line, long semi-fitted sleeves with a slit and bound placket, a gathered bottom edge, and cuffs secured by two buttons and buttonholes. It showcases a deep V-neckline and comes with a detachable belt featuring a buckle. Etel's length gracefully falls below mid-calf.
