Natasha Hughes, 18, from Arboretum, Worcester, won her battle not to wear it after the city's magistrates heard she liked to dress in a feminine way.

She was ordered to wear a tag for breaching the curfew terms of her bail.

But after a further appearance accused of a breach, she has agreed to have the tag fitted.

Dress sense

A spokesman for the court said it was understood she turned up to the court in trousers.

Ms Hughes had been arrested for a second time after failing to answer the door to police when they called on Monday at 0400 GMT.

In court she said she did not hear police knocking but added that she was now prepared to wear a tag.

She had previously not answered her door at 0235 GMT on 1 November, claiming she was asleep at the time.

After her original hearing last Tuesday Ms Hughes said: "I didn't want to wear a tag because they are really bulky and embarrassing."

Prosecutor Douglas Marshall said Hughes should be forced to wear a tag to prove that she was in fact at home when she claimed to be.said she was.

But David Taylor, defending, said this was not necessary and would have interfered with his client's "dress sense".

Hughes is due at Worcester Crown Court on 5 December to enter a plea to a charge of grievous bodily harm.
