How to wear a
backless wedding dress?
Backless lace wedding dresses are the perfect tease.
Reveal just a little and adorn the rest with a shower of intricately interwoven lace and you’ll nail the look in a picture-perfect way.
Are you a free-spirited bride ready to express your inner romantic? Then a backless boho wedding dress has got to be just the thing for you.
Bohemian wedding gowns are all about soft, flowing lines and floaty fabrics. Couple this with an adventurous backless design and create your very own look.
Backless wedding gowns can be designed to work within your very own comfort zone.
Go all-out daring with a deep-cut number that slashes right down to the waist, or rein it in a little with a shallow v-cut that reveals just a little.
Illusion backless wedding gowns embrace the best of both worlds by showing off your back through a layer of flesh-coloured sheer fabric, often adorned with pretty lace cut-outs that appear magically suspended.
Whatever your comfort zone, wherever your perfect backless number lies, Lucy Can’t Dance will design your wedding gown around YOU. You’ll look and feel a million dollars with your backless dress tailored to fit your individual curves and nuances.

Enquire todayWhat bra to wear with a backless wedding dress?
The leading question for all backless wedding dress brides! How do you get away with a bra when your back is on full show? If you’ve been pondering this point, read on!
The beauty of bespoke backless wedding dresses is that they can be designed around your individual figure, and that means keeping you supported and confident enough to get out on that dance floor ready to boogie the night away! Yes, we’re talking sewn-in bra cups. In other words, in-built engineering that carries you through the day and the night.
Adhesive bra cups
Alternatively, another option when it comes to wearing a backless wedding dress is adhesive bra cups. Go for silicone for the most natural feel. This type of bra will tick the box for plunging necklines as well as low slung backs, but in reality it’s only going to work effectively for the smaller bust and is more for shape than support.
U-plunge backless bra
A u-plunge backless bra usually comes with optional straps and offers underwired support around a plunging neckline. Again this is more suited to the smaller busted bride. Breast petals are another option but these really are more for coverage than support, designed to lift the bust and protect against those chilly moments.
Multi-way bras
For the more voluptuous busted figure, you’re going to need something a little more supportive. Low-back multi-way bras offer brilliant support and coverage. The flexible straps can be worn in a number of ways to suit your particular backless wedding dress./p>
Breast lift tape
Breast lift tape is another option. It helps to shape the bust and adds support without the need for a bra. Great for A to D cups, the tape is waterproof so perfect for hot nights on the dancefloor or sun-drenched beach or festival weddings.
What type of underwear to wear with a backless wedding dress?
The answer to this question totally depends on your wedding gown silhouette and of course your beautiful individual shape.
Lots of brides naturally worry about a VPL, but don’t necessarily want to shoe-horn themselves into full-on shapewear that can be restrictive. A nude-toned thong can get around the issue.
There are some seriously specialist undies out there designed specifically for the backless wedding dress. Look out for backless bodies that work to sculpt the figure in a flattering way.
White or nude underwear works best for traditional white or ivory gowns. For slinky gowns, seamless undies will help create an elegant silhouette.
Always take your lingerie with you when you go for your fitting so you can get a true picture of the whole look. Perhaps take a few options with you so you can work out what looks best.
