Friends vs Foes: Bridal Experts Reveal How Your Backless Wedding Gowns Can Be The Perfect Fit

Backless Wedding Gown Tip #1:  Good Chest Support

It is common for brides to go braless when it comes to wedding gowns. This is due to the low backline, which means that the options for suitable bras would be diminished.

This may not affect less endowed brides as many well-endowed brides.

Many well-endowed brides have shared the same concern, like how the sizing differs across different parts of the body. For example, she could be a size 8 from her waist downwards, but a size 12 from her chest upwards. This is not just a challenge for brides on the hunt for the dream wedding dress, but clothes in general!

On top of that, because of the lack of chest support for backless wedding gowns, it is important to get the right bra that supports and doesn’t peek out of the wedding dress design altogether. Stick on bras will be a no-no as it would make the chest a lot more “droopy”.

The most ideal option is for well-endowed brides is to go for a bespoke wedding dress. That way, the wedding dress will be designed to fit your measurements perfectly, giving you the ample support you need while having that gorgeous backless feature.

For brides who prefer the Off-the-Rack route, another option would be for brides to get the bras with multi convertible options. This includes switching the way the straps are placed so that they can’t be seen in a backless wedding dress without sacrificing chest support.

Backless Wedding Gown Tip #2: Wear Suitable Undergarments

You would be surprised by the numerous variations of backless wedding dresses! This ranges from scooped wedding dress back lines that end at the mid-section of your back, to backless wedding gowns that plunge down to a few inches above the derrière (a.k.a the backside).

Depending on your backless wedding gowns, you need to get the right undergarment so that it can’t be seen from the back.

If the backline isn’t as low, then you opt for boy shorts to perk your derrière. On the other hand, g strings/thongs would be required for wedding gowns with a plunging backline.

Another factor to note is how sheer the wedding dress is. In such cases, it is important to not only wear nude undergarments but one that matches your skin tone. Otherwise, when the lights of your ballroom/venue hit your wedding dress, it would be very obvious amongst your wedding guests.

That would be the last thing you would want your wedding guests to remember! Plus, it would be visible in your actual day wedding photos, and it would be almost impossible to remove that via photo editing software!
