DESCRIPTION

Serve serious attitude with this Banned Alternative Rebel Check Mini Dress, and blend traditional punk elements with a modern cut in this purple tartan mini dress. This mini dress is perfect for spring and summer if you want to survive the sun, but still show off your alternative style. Pair with platform sandals for a look that’s promenade-ready, or chunky boots for an edgier look.

This zip-front alternative mini dress has a keyhole neckline and a sharp collar with cap sleeves. The structured silhouette at the shoulders emphasises the tailoring of the bodice, and emphasises the drop waistline. Bold black and silver hardware detailing also helps to lengthen the legs, with decorative buckles at the hips and trailing ends that drop just an inch below the hemline. Two D-rings sit at the waistline at the back, meaning you can attach more chains and charms yourself for an even more punk result. The yoke detailing across the shoulders adds to the structured and tailored look, taking inspiration from some of the militia aspects of punk styling.

Banned is a premier alternative fashion brand, with plenty of top-quality pieces ranging from accessories to clothing, that covers a wide range of subcultures from gothic to punk to vintage.
