The Jody Lace Belted Sweater in Black is a botanical fiber knit sweater in deep true black with intricate lace at the sleeves and a satin belt at the natural waist, built to anchor year-round evening dressing. The piece is part of the Jody Lace capsule in Black and is built for evening layering, executive dressing where waist definition matters more than rigid tailoring, and the woman who wants knitwear that reads as evening-ready.

Fabric
Botanical fiber knit in deep true black with intricate lace worked through the sleeves and a satin belt at the natural waist. The botanical fiber knit drapes softly without compressing at the waistband, the lace is the same family that defines the Jody Lace blazers, dresses, and cardigans in black, and the satin belt creates waist definition without the rigidity of a leather closure. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in limited batches. Designed in Europe. Ships from California.

Fit
The Jody Sweater runs to a European-inspired fit; most clients size down one. Size up if you prefer additional ease across the bust or shoulders, or want a looser drape through the body. Lace sleeves, satin belt at the natural waist, pull-on construction without zipper. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 3.

Styling
Worn with the Jody Pencil Skirt in Black for tonal Jody Knitwear capsule evening dressing.
Or the Barbara Wide-Leg Pants in Black for executive sweater-and-trouser dressing where the satin belt defines the waist.
Layered under the Jody Tailored Lace Blazer in Black for fully tonal Jody Lace black layering.
Or under the Paula Textured Coat with Faux Fur Collar and Cuffs in Black for a tonal black holiday-arrival silhouette.
Cinched with the Tili Belt in Bordeaux in place of the satin belt for a wine-tone waist accent.
Carried with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black to extend the lace family across the accessory line.
Coordinate metal tone consistently: silver and satin hardware read modern with the black lace; pearl reads classic and traditional.

Care
Botanical fiber knit with lace and satin detail. Dry clean only. Do not bleach. Store folded rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder line and the satin belt loops. Steam to refresh between wears. Protect the lace sleeves from snagging in storage by folding with tissue between layers.
