Choosing the Right Backless Wedding Dress
Due to the exposed nature of an open-back wedding dress, there tends to be less structure compared to a gown featuring a higher backline. This heightens the importance of a proper fit and thorough alterations. With this being said, we still recommend consulting with your personal bridal stylist to consider the pros and cons of an open-back wedding dress especially if you’re bustier. Those with larger cup sizes may want to opt for a sheer corset back that gives the illusion of an open back while still providing proper structure and support.
From elegant long sleeves paired with striking V-necklines and backlines to open illusion backs with delicate embroidery cascading throughout, there are several variations of open-back wedding dresses. Designers are continually innovating ways to showcase brides’ backs. Timeless styles such as key holes and low scoop backs prove to stand the test of time while sheer corsets, illusion backs, and unique cutouts are just a few of the open-back looks to recently hit the runway.
Pnina Tornai, Ines Di Santo, Rivini, Tony Ward, and Maison Signore are just a few of our world renowned designers who contribute to our exquisite collection of open-back wedding dresses.
From A-line, mermaid, and ball gown silhouettes to bohemian, classic, and vintage aesthetics, there are open-back wedding gowns that cater to each and every bridal style.
