How the women's range is organised
Where to start
The range splits by garment rather than by subculture, because most pieces cross over. Dresses and corsets are the gothic core. Skirts, shorts and trousers carry the punk hardware. Coats and capes are the outerwear layer, and harnesses, chokers and belts are what tie a look together over the top.
| If you want | Start with | Then add |
|---|---|---|
| A first gothic piece | A midi dress or a corset | Tights and a choker |
| Everyday alternative | Trousers or a skirt | A mesh top, boots |
| Full punk | Tartan skirt or shorts | Harness, studded belt |
| Occasion | A gown or brocade coat | Gloves, headdress |
Sizing
Asian sizing runs roughly one size below EU and US across the women's range. Every product page carries a centimetre table for bust, waist and hip; order from that rather than from a letter size. Corset-back and wrap styles are the most forgiving.
Frequently asked
- Does PunkRave carry plus sizes?
- Yes. Sizes run to 5XL on many styles, and there is a dedicated plus-size collection. Always check the centimetre table, since the range varies by garment.
- Is the womenswear all black?
- Mostly, with red, wine and white as recurring accents. Colour appears more in the summer and festival ranges.
- What is the difference between the Ladies and the Gothic collections?
- Ladies is the full womenswear range by garment type. Gothic is a style filter that cuts across both the women's and men's ranges.
- Do PunkRave clothes run small?
- Yes, around one size below EU and US for women. Order from the centimetre measurements on each product page.
