If you're ready to try business in the front and party in the back, then it's time for you to wear a backless dress! If you're proud of your back and don't have any shame in your fashion game, then a backless dress is truly a grand and feminine option for you. From the front you look decorous and elegant; turn around and show off that lovely back! Backless dresses will always be in style on the runway and red carpet, and special occasions are perfect for a nice back revealing dress.
Types of Backless
With fashion there always seems to multiple options for every style. Even with backless dresses you have options. Some backless dresses expose more of your back than others, and it's up to you to decide the type of dress works best for you. When you first think of a backless dress you might think of stars like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon looking super elegant on the red carpet. Don't forget that backless dresses can be worn very tastefully during warmer months, and can set the stage for a smokin' hot little number.
Start Small: If you're testing the backless waters, and are uncomfortable diving in head first, start off with a very small amount of your back showing. This can mean that anywhere from 3-4 inches of your back will show.
Lukewarm: If you're ready to move up along the ranks, opt for a backless dress that shows your neck to your mid back. Scoop backs and loosely draped fabric will work well. You are still showing a fair amount of skin, but not all of your back.
Ring the Alarm: Well, go ahead with your bad self! You're ready to show it, flaunt it, and get it! The number of backless options abound and you can have several choices to choose from!
Tips
Choose a Bra: When wearing any type of backless dress, you must carefully consider the type of bra that you plan to wear. If you are fortunate to go without a bra, then consider yourself blessed. If you've got to uphold and protect the girls on top, be sure to see a bra specialist to find the perfect bra for you. Stylists will agree that a great bra will make you look and feel great. Whether you're frolicking in the sun, or attending a beauty pageant, you must remember to focus on a bra that is not visible, is comfortable, and supportive. Other options include sewing bra cups onto the inside of the dress, but this can prove to be tricky. Wear bra cups that adhere naturally to your bosom and body. These backless bras are made of special material (like foam) that allows the cups to stick to the front of your body. Another option includes the relatively modern backless bra. There are straps, but no back strap. This makes it easier for you to have support without showing the bra straps.
Beauty: While tanning in beds and in the sun has become naughty, you can still opt for odorless lotion tans or spray on tans. A tan will make your back look toned and smooth. Also consider powdering your back with corn silk to lessen the appearance of sheen. A week or so before wearing a backless dress to a special occasion, use benzoyl peroxide or acne medicated cleanser to scrub your back and lift dirt, oil, and clear any blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples.
Posture: Stand up tall and refrain from slouching. If you are uncomfortable, don't wear a backless dress. Once you have it on, be proud and confident. When posing for pictures lift your back, tighten you abdomen, and casually cross your legs one across the other. Take a peek at the latest fashion magazines and note the stance Hollywood's finest!
