Ooh la la...we have found the perfect cocktail dress for work parties or the next upcoming holiday party you have on your schedule. Talk about a little black dress done right! Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's 'Backless Embroidered Dresst' is a stunning, high neck dress boasting a sexy cutout back, exotic, over the shoulder grey patterned embroidery, and cap sleeves. Cinching you in at the waist, this silk-cotton blend dress boasts a fabulous satin sheen and one-inch horizontal, attached waist tie/banding that keeps you feeling feminine and fabulous. Boasting ruche-ing at the crew neck and waist, hidden back zipper, and rounded triangle cutout detail at the back, this thirty-three-inch long dress is sexy, classy, and totally unique. Pair this lovely choice with rounded deep rouge heels or your favorite black booties to round out this look in a fabulous and fun way!

Now that we've looked into a beautiful black dress with a bit of Asian fusion flare, let's check out a semi-flapper-inspired, soft periwinkle choice. Flori's 'Ruffle Backless Dress' is the epitome of class and feminine. This gorgeous 100% silk sheath dress boasts a subtly sexy deep scoop neck, and lands just at the knees. The neckline swoops all the way up over the shoulders and down into a deep, plunging backless v. Softened by a delicate ruffle all the way through, the deep plunges and exposed back are seriously feminine without losing their edge. This lovely selection is pretty, and even uses its ruffles as sleeves for a cute touch. Pair with Frye's mustard color 'Ada Pleat Peep,' and you'll be both looking and feeling absolutely fabulous!

Speaking of mustard, how about we check out the most fabulous yellow-hued backless dress around? Sentimental NY's 'Golden Halter Rhinestone Dress' is one spicy number! This high neckline, which ties in a large bow at the back boasts a seriously backless, low-cut (though not too low), backside silhouette that'll definitely leave them with their jaws down! Its formfitting nature, gathering just above your tailbone, and just-below-the-knee length combine for a sultry look that isn't overpowering or inappropriate. Normally, we shy away from rhinestones for grown women, but if carefully placed, as they are just around the neck in two small lines, they can actually work to accent (and enhance) a little glamour and a lot of fun in your next number. Plus, with its ninety percent nylon, ten percent polyester blend, you'll feel comfortable and move easily in this fabulous backless option.

So, when it comes to looking for something backless, what are the keys to remember? If you want a fabulous, feminine backless dress, look for balance. Since you're exposing your back, high necks are a fabulous balance, longer lengths are a plus, or sleeves can add just the hint of modesty you need. Most of all, own your choice! Wear your look well, knowing you look lovely!
