How do I wear backless dresses?
When wearing a backless dress, you can consider the type of coverage and support desired. Avoid discomfort when choosing a bra by opting for a sticky bra or reusable or single-use pasties to provide the support and look of a bra without the hassle! If that's not your style, all you need to achieve a lifted and supportive look is breast lift tape to keep it discreet under your dress. Fashion tape is also handy; use it as extra support for strapless styles. Always make sure any fasteners are properly zipped up and/or buttoned. Keep reading for more advice. You can always find the best advice in-store and online, so come in and visit us at one of over 350 stores nationwide or chat with us here!
What kind of shapewear do I need to wear with a backless dress?
To determine what kind of shapewear you need to wear with a backless dress, think about the type of support you'd prefer. For bodycon and tight-fitting silhouettes, consider styling shaper shorts or panties underneath with a smoothing high-rise waist and firm support to give you a seamless look. Avoid fashion mishaps by shopping Windsor for all your shapewear and lingerie needs to feel confident in a stunning backless dress!
How do I keep a backless dress from falling?
To keep a backless dress from falling, double-check the dress for any fasteners and make sure they are zipped up or buttoned all the way. You can also use fashion tape to help secure the dress in place so you can enjoy the day or night!
