Geometric Panel Fit and Flare Dress
Unbranded (Style resembles mid-market brands like BCBGMAXAZRIA or Akira) · Clothing & Accessories > Dresses
Era / Decade
2010s (specifically 2012-2016 based on the 'bandage' trend and geometric paneling)
Material
Likely a heavyweight polyester/spandex blend (Scuba or Ponte knit) with faux-leather or metallic piping.
Condition
Good. The garment appears structurally sound, but there is visible white/deodorant staining or surface dust in the underarm and chest area.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the 'fit and flare' style is a closet staple, this specific geometric aesthetic is less trendy than it was in 2014. Best for Goth, Edgy, or Night-out niches.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Depop, or Mercari. Depop is especially good for edgy or 'Cyber' aesthetics which this dress fits into.
Selling Tips
Thoroughly clean the white marks off the fabric before photographing. Use keywords like 'Geometric,' 'Cage,' 'Architecture,' 'Scuba Dress,' and 'Edgy' in the title. Take a photo of the back to show the zipper clearly. Ship in a medium poly-mailer to save on costs.
