Q: I really
love the dramatic look of a low-back gown and am leaning toward one for my
wedding day. Are there any special considerations I need to think about?
A: In a
word, yes! Low backs are stunning – simply beautiful and yes, very dramatic.
BUT. If you are also interested in a very fitted waist, many low-back gown
styles do not work very well. Because of the lack of material all the way
around the bodice, there just isn’t enough there to get a super-tight fit.
Here are a
few photos illustrating what we mean.
Now, all
that being said, open back gowns are still a gorgeous option. Many styles are
very flattering and can provide an hourglass shape, especially if you go with a
keyhole or an illusion back. Here are a few examples:
But just a plunging back will just not give brides a
super-snug fit. One other word to the wise: be cautious of a strapless gown
with an extremely low back – you are risking a wardrobe malfunction! That’s
probably not the memory you are going for on your wedding day!
