    Does anyone have any suggestions of dresses that have low backs and still look like nice wedding dresses?  I don't want it to look racy, but a nice low back on a pretty dress.  Who knows... I can't even write a sentence about what I like!  If you have any suggestions of designers or pictures, please post!

    I picked Jim Hjelm 8858:

    The better pictures are the "more views" pics.

    But I'm with you: I love lower backed dresses but not the ones that go down to the butt crack!

    Wow thank you for all the pictures!  I've seen a lot of the fronts of these dresses, and didn't realize they were low back!  Thanks for showing me all of these, I will have to print them out!

    @Erin - I saw your dress on another post and wondered if it was low back, beautiful!

    @Joeswifey - I do like a lot of those styles, thank you for posting all the links!

    @OttawaBride - I'm now in love with the maggie sottero!  I'm sure I've looked at it online, but now I'm in love with it!  Thank you :)

    Wow this is by far my favorite.  Very classy, and a little sassy.  I just love everything about the style.  Just hope my chest will not look trashy in the V-neck, I'm a D!

    waterprincess, I'm up there as well when it comes to the bust size and my first thought is that with the v-neck and low back, how will you support the girls?

    @2010bride2bee and waterprincess:  Different dress, but same issue.  The girls need support (esp. for dancing) but I have had the HARDEST time finding a bra that doesn't show!  Ugh!

    I don't know what type of dress you are looking for, but have you checked prom dresses? I didn't even think to do this until my cousin's girlfriend told me she went with her friend and thats where she ended up finding hers. It also ends up being A LOT cheaper!

    Thanks for all the suggestions again!  

    Not too worried about support... they stay up there pretty good... I'm still young ;)  As long as they are tied down by the dress.  That's why I was thinking low back instead of completely backless as I had originally wanted.

    I think prom dresses are a good place to look, and I've been looking at bridesmaid dresses as well.  Oh the options....

    I'm thinking about a ceremony dress and a reception dress.  I will never decide on just one!
