DESCRIPTION
If you’re looking for a dark and bold statement piece to reflect your alternative style, look no further. This Amara Velvet Maxi Dress from Banned Apparel is perfect for the witching hour, and even more perfect for your stylish wardrobe! Banned Apparel is a brand renowned around the world for its iconic pieces. Their popularity comes from their alternative products and high-quality details, and this Maxi Dress is no exception! Made of a soft, velvety fabric, this black dress features a boat neckline, alongside cut-out panels on the shoulders and chest of the wearer. From here, the silhouette of the dress slinks down, fitted to the wearer’s shape. The A-line skirt drops to a maxi hem by the wearer’s ankles. This fitted shape is very reminiscent of Tudor outfits and Shakespearean characters. Looking to have your Ophelia moment this spooky season? Or maybe you’re looking for a little dark edge to suit your Lady Macbeth fantasies? The dark love-heart pattern of this dress, as well as its edgy shape, make it perfect for a historical Gothic look. This alternative maxi dress also boasts special features like the criss-crossing black ribbons on either side of the legs, and silver accents like the studs along the waistline and the love heart choker, which add a little modern edge to this maxi dress. Wear this gorgeous Amara Dress this spooky season, paired with some silver jewellery and fishnet tights. No matter where you go, this black maxi dress will always be the star of the show!SIZE GUIDE
