Castilian Spanish to British English. A description of a dress:
Jersey de punto negro a caja con hombros metidos
I think the "hombros metidos" means where the armhole of sleeveless dress is cut a bit more than usual towards the center of the front, leaving more shoulder exposed, but I am not sure. And the part of "a caja"---ni idea.
Please help!

I think 'caja' refers to the neckline.
5. Cuello a la Caja. Elegante y tradicional, puede acortar el cuello o exagerar el torso. De otro modo, es probablemente un básico impecable. Algún colgante o collar largo lo puede “dulcificar”. El vestido celeste de la Reina Máxima de Holanda en su visita a Madrid hace unos meses tenía un adecuado y sobrio cuello a la caja.

'Cutaway sleeves' are the sleeves you describe but I wouldn't use it unless you have a picture. 'Sleeveless' might be enough.
top con hombros metidos. escote redondo. por detrás va metido y cogido al cuello y al centro con abertura central tapada con un pliegue.
