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.
