Dresses with a back neckline are generally high-necked in the front, to maintain a classy look, but allow you to uncover the back, to be bold and sexy at the same time. If you have a toned back and skin free of impurities, such a dress could be the right choice for your next big event. But to wear it you need to have the right underwear and accessories.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Choose the Suitable Bra
Step 1. Try on a bra for bare back clothes
These models have a band that wraps around the stomach and supports the breasts. If you have large breasts this is certainly the most suitable option.
Step 2. Use adhesive silicone nipple covers
If you have small breasts, you may not need support. However, you should avoid that you can see the nipples, by covering them with special adhesive nipple covers in the shape of petals.
Step 3. Try an adhesive bra
In this case you will have more support than with simple petals, but still less than with a bra with a band. This option is best for women with small to medium breasts but may be a bit uncomfortable for those with more generous shapes.
Step 4. Consider a bra with a lacing at the neck
Some dresses with a back neckline tie behind the neck and reveal only a part of the back. In this case, you may be able to hide this type of bra under the dress. This model is also suitable for more prosperous women.
Method 2 of 3: Make the skin glow
Step 1. Exfoliate the skin on the back
A couple of weeks before the event you will be wearing the dress, use a loofah sponge and bubble bath to remove dead skin. However, do not perform this beauty ritual every day as excessive exfoliation damages sensitive skin.
Step 2. Use an acne scrub
Even if you don't suffer from acne, regular scrubbing will help prevent blemishes and smoother skin.
Step 3. Moisturize the skin
After washing, apply a light moisturizer to prevent the skin from drying out excessively.
Step 4. Apply self-tanner
Tanned skin accentuates the back muscles and makes you look more toned. You will only need a light coat of product to achieve the desired effect.
Method 3 of 3: Show Your Back
Step 1. Train yourself to have the right posture
Keep your head up, shoulders back and chest out. A straight posture will show off your back while a bent and curved posture will be much less attractive.
Step 2. Don't overdo the accessories
They are an important part of the look but the purpose of this dress is to show the back and too many accessories can divert attention from this part of the body. Opt for a simple and elegant pair of earrings or a bracelet to add a touch of light to the ensemble.
Step 3. Avoid accessories that cover your neck or back
Scarves definitely don't fit with this dress. Necklaces also attract attention and therefore distract it from the back. Avoid especially those with a chain closure that dangles behind your back. br>
Step 4. Collect your hair
Even if you have thick, shiny hair you should keep it up. There is no point in wearing a dress with a neckline on the back if it is then covered by the hair.
Step 5. Create a see / not see effect
For a more reserved look, partially gather your hair. Let a few strands fall on your back but make sure a good part of it is still visible. This type of hairstyle can increase the sensuality of the dress.
Advice
- When you have put on the dress, make sure you take advantage of the particularity of the model to show off your back. Avoid any accessories or hairstyles that cover it up or that can distract attention from it.
- Check your back regularly in a full mirror to see if you are ready to wear the dress. If you can't see yourself just by turning your head, use another smaller mirror to help you. Move it until you can see the reflection of the back on the full mirror.
- If you're going to show off your back make sure it's worth it. Make your skin brighter and healthier with the right exfoliation and hydration.
- Bring a jacket with you. With an uncovered back you may feel very cold, particularly if the event is in the evening. A jacket, cardigan or shawl will be your salvation if the cold becomes unbearable.
- A normal bra is not suitable with a backless dress as it will be visible. Women with smaller breasts have many alternatives available, while those with larger breasts will have to look more carefully for a more supportive bra designed for backless dresses.
- Practice physical activity for a toned back. If not, the love handles may peek out from under the dress.
- Choose a backless dress the same way you would choose any dress. Look for a model that flatters your silhouette and fits your body. A-line, pencil skirt and knee-length dresses are suitable for all body types.
