Perhaps the most feminine element of the wardrobe is the dress. It was thought so before, and modern stylists adhere to the same opinion. There are a lot of models and styles of various dresses, among which a dress with a bare back occupies a separate place. It decorates a woman, gives charm and sophistication, but is not for everyone. In the article, we will take a closer look at what options for such a dress are fashionable.
A bit of history
For the first time, a dress with a bare back saw the light back in the 20s of the past century. At that time, a style called "garcon" was in demand among young ladies. Girls with a magnificent bust “masked” their virtues through ruffles and flounces, and slimming underwear was also used. At the same time, the back remained open. This style of clothing was especially popular in the 1930s. This fact is easily confirmed by the abundant presence of such styles in the films of that time.
Stars of world cinema fell in love with both a cropped dress with a bare back and a floor length. However, it is worth noting that the actresses did not wear such a thing on their naked bodies, but combined it with a special bodice, the straps of which were hidden at the bottom. So, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer were happy to wear light and delicate dresses with a decent cutout on the back.
How to wear?
A beautiful outfit with a bare back has always been a sign of sex appeal and femininity. The original models skillfully combine grace and some intrigue, and the dresses themselves can boast both frankness and inaccessibility. However, before you buy such a dress, you should pay attention to a few nuances.
First, it's a skin condition. Since the back will be almost completely open, they will even involuntarily pay attention to it. And if there is redness or some kind of rash, then self-confidence in such an outfit will not be enough. Secondly, the figure is of great importance. Slender girls have nothing to fear - they can wear a dress with a bare back for any event. As for plump ladies, the fat folds at the waist when turning will create an unpleasant impression, and the image will remain spoiled. In this case, it is better to stop the choice on the minimum cutout. The third factor is correct posture. Only with a graceful gait will such a dress look attractive, and a stooped look and sagging shoulders will create dissonance.
The last, but especially important nuance is the correct underwear. Girls in bare back dresseslook very impressive if you choose the right bra. An invisible bust, a silicone model or a strapless bra are suitable here. Sometimes it is allowed to wear an open-back outfit with traditional bras, but only if the underwear is made of high-quality lace or satin.
Lineup
Modern fashion designers offer a wide variety of silhouettes, among which absolutely any young lady can choose the right option for herself. Photos of dresses with a bare back on the websites of fashion magazines and stores demonstrate a high demand for such styles. Basically, these are large cutouts, which are decorated with bows, folds, rhinestones, etc. Options in which cutouts are present in the area of the shoulder blades and waist in traditional forms or in the form of figures look quite elegant. The unusual shape visually adds harmony. Often on TV screens (in films and commercials) you can see dresses in which the back opens almost to the buttocks. In real life, a woman dressed in this way will look defiant and even vulgar.
For everyday wear, designers offer mostly summer styles with a bare back and a fluffy skirt. In such an outfit, if it is still made of light flowing fabric, the sultry heat is tolerated without problems.
There are models for ladies who are embarrassed to bare their backs. Here, the creators go to the trick and make inserts at the back of transparent lace, which gives the image modesty and flirtatiousness.

Despite the fact that the emphasis on a bare back in an outfit speaks of elegance and pronounced style, most of these dresses are only suitable for slim ladies.
Long dresses with a bare back fit perfectly on tall girls of model appearance. But for young ladies with small stature, it is better to pay attention to a midi-length sheath dress. Optionsthere are a lot of cutouts: to the waist line or to the level of the shoulder blades, in the form of a triangle, square, heart-shaped, drop, etc. Outfits decorated with lacing, drapery, rhinestones, and stones at the back are popular.
Petite women can afford short bare back dresses. However, it is worth remembering that if the length of the product is mini, then the neckline should not be too prominent, otherwise you will get a vulgar image. Dresses that are completely closed in front, with long sleeves and with a bare back look mysterious.
