General note
When investigating what the brand has to offer on Poshmark, the white dress serves as a reflection of what Rebellion Again has. The fashion brand offers clothes that combine classic styles such as bohemian and vintage with the modern times. An example of this in particular is the white dress. In general, the white dress is a classic fashion item for women. It is versatile, meaning that women are able to wear this fashion item for both casual and formal events. Rebellion Again offers a range of white dresses in their collection but to produce this kind of dress, the brand made it more comfortable and playful to consumers. It is comfortable since its materials, cotton and rayon lining, are known for their durable and breathable properties. Since the materials influenced this dress to possess these properties, it has resulted in the dress to represent cottagecore. Cottagecore is a type of style that was featured in baking and crafts before expanding towards fashion. In fashion, the style allows consumers to wear classic items from the 18-19th century that make them feel happy, such as wearing clothes that are fitted to the consumer and flowing skirts. As for it being playful, that is a result of the back of the dress. The back of the dress has an open back but is also tieable due to its strips of fabric. The intention for the dress to be tieable is because it creates a bow. The bow found at the back of the dress symbolizes the coquette core. Coquette is a style that reflects flirty looks and can appear as bows, which are incorporated in a variety of fashion items, such as dresses as shown in this white dress and even headbands. The style was introduced in the 2020s and has since joined the cottagecore style as a trend for Spring/Summer 2024.

The Rebellion Again White Dress is a fashion item that I did not knew would have an important role in my life. I remember hunting for a dress to wear for my high school graduation back in June 2022 and saw this dress that had ruffles found on the straps and the skirt along with a bow at the back. I love wearing garments that had ruffles and bows with them and when I discovered that the dress was in my size, I was convinced to buy it. I bought the dress and wore it to my graduation looking beautiful and undeniably sexy given the garment's open back design. Fast forward to August 2024 where there was a White Party at a company I worked for the Summer. The dress was no use for me until now due to its colour being white. Furthermore, I still love ruffles and bows!
