Open back - what underwear?

The open back in a dress adds sensuality, mystery and charm. It is no wonder that for special occasions women like to choose creations with a back neckline. When deciding on such a style, it is important to remember that an open back requires the selection of appropriate lingerie. 

Dress with exposed back - what underwear to choose 

A bachelorette party, a wedding, a New Year's Eve ball or an elegant cocktail party... This is an excuse to wear a dress in which the open back is the biggest highlight. Although backless dresses usually have a strongly evening character (they are more ornate, sewn from shiny fabrics, decorated with lace, sequins or golden threads), but there is also no shortage of summer dresses with such a strongly sexy cut.

Many women dream of wearing a claw-front dress. This would make their exposed back a very seductive part of their body. Often, however, one fact ultimately stops them from wearing such a dress: the lack of suitable underwear.

When you want to show your bare back

There is a fairly common myth that only women with small breasts can wear an open back in a dress. Because they can do without a bra. Alternatively, those whose bust can support a self-supporting bra (without the classic clasp and straps). 

The self-supporting bra has as many supporters as opponents. It is made of silicone self-adhesive cups. According to the manufacturers' claims, it is supposed to support even larger breasts. Ultimately, many women complain that the bust-lifting function does not work and that the cups sometimes shift and are uncomfortable to use. 

Multiway bra - an idea for an open back in a dress

A far better alternative to a self-supporting bra is the multiway bra. This type of lingerie has an underwired construction and padded cups. Unlike a self-supporting bra, it has straps. Unlike a classic bra, straps These can be rearranged as desired. In this way, the bra can be easily adjusted to the dresses with open back, halter neckline tops and many other demanding cuts of clothing.

Open back bra - how to wear a bra so the straps are not visible? 

The open back bra works perfectly for so-called difficult styles. Why? Because it can be freely modified. The shoulder straps can be adjusted to fit your dress or blouse. So you can wear clothing that reveals a little more, such as your back or shoulders. Wear your open back bra in such a way that the fastening at the back is much lower. This is even possible at the waist line. An open back bra also allows the straps to be fastened diagonally at the back or front to create a decorative neckline. With this bra, you can hide the straps without too much trouble.

Which bra for an open back?

Preferably, of course, one that allows you to expose them beautifully. Importantly, an open back bra should also be colour-matched to the styling. The flesh colour is the most versatile. It is the best choice for light-coloured dresses and blouses. It will also work well with clothes in stronger colours. The little black dress is best paired with an open-back bra in the same colour. It's the perfect set. 

For tight dresses, choose plain lingerie so that it does not show under the fabric. On the other hand, if the dress is looser in the bust, you can wear an open back bra in lace or with other decorative applications.
