ANTIBrand Polka Bats Cinched Shirt Dress

Marry sharp, tailored sophistication with alternative charm in an architectural silhouette engineered to command the room.

The Polka Bats Cinched Shirt Dress offers a striking, avant-garde take on corporate attire. Cut from a premium, wrinkle-resistant performance weave, this off-white button-down dress blends structured formality with a contouring aesthetic. The waistline features integrated structural pleating that meticulously cinches the midsection, creating a beautifully tailored hourglass silhouette. Scattered across the crisp white canvas is our signature "Polka Bats" pattern - a highly organized repeat arrangement of miniature black bat silhouettes that offer a subtle, dark subversion of a classic vintage print.

• Material: 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex - high-performance fluid weave that is smooth, breathable, and slightly elastic.
• Fit: Tailored, body-contouring shirt dress profile featuring sharp structural waist pleats for an enhanced cinched look.
• Design: "Polka Bats" high-contrast monochrome repeat print featuring miniature black bats over a stark white base.
• Features: Classic pointed collar, full-length button-down front placket, long sleeves with structured button cuffs, and a curved fluid hemline.
• Versatility: Style buttoned up as a sophisticated standalone mini dress, or leave the bottom buttons open over tight leather leggings for a high-impact look.
• Style: A quintessential foundation piece for corporate goth wardrobes, professional alternative aesthetics, and smart-casual streetwear.
• Ethics: Consciously made-to-order to guarantee premium garment construction and support zero-waste manufacturing.

Style this cinched dress with a pair of sharp black stiletto heels and minimal silver jewellery for an alternative boardroom presentation, or style it down with knee-high leather boots and an oversized coat for an evening social gathering. The durable, quick-drying stretch fabric ensures unrestrictive movement and all-day comfort, while the pristine monochrome palette guarantees your professional style remains impeccably distinctive from dawn until deep into the night.

Perfect for: Corporate goth office settings, professional business meetings, upscale dinner dates, and smart-casual events.

Care Instructions

Hand wash or machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle. Cold water is recommended. Water temperature should not exceed 45ºC. To preserve the crispness of the high-contrast bat print and the structural integrity of the waist pleats, do not soak for extended periods. Do not use bleach. Do not tumble dry; hang to dry naturally in the shade to retain garment shape. Cool iron if needed.
