Tasteful backless dress, is that an oxymoron?
I want to find a tasteful backless dress for my best friend's wedding. I have been looking for a long gown since I always wear cocktail dresses to weddings and wanted to mix it up this time.
The problem is all the backless dresses I find online are so trampy! maybe the girls in the pics make it look slutty, I dont know, but I am going to sexy yet classy look not what the heck was she thinking this is a wedding.
I don't need it backless all the way to the crack of my butt like I've found, but I want it to be a little sexy, since I'm going for long and covering the boobies completely I thought a little back would be good.
where can I find a dress like that?
It's entirely possible to wear a tasteful backless dress. I, for one, LOVE wearing backless dresses and one of my boyfriends favorite body parts on me is my back.
If you want a dress with a very open back, look for one with a higher neckline or 3/4 length sleeves:

If you want a dress with an open back that cuts wide, not deep, a scoop, sweetheart or V-neck is appropriate:

However, if a too-open back is still an issue, a dress with a criss-cross back is always an option:
