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, away from sunlight, with silica gel and acid-free tissue.
- Collection context
- Part of Isabel Marant's LA RIVIERA collection, designed for warm-weather getaways.
- Design features
- Adjustable open back, airy openwork, and a fiber blend that holds shape in humidity.
- Undergarment tips
