Do you have any pics of your dress?
I have David's Bridal V9665 but it has the flap on it so I'll be using it just how it came.
I like the open corset look! It's sexy but not revealing a lot. Mine has the modesty panel on it but I am still debating if I want to use it or not. Not my dress but it shows an open corset on the other pic....although with that price I wish that was the price of my dress! :P

Well both of those dresses do!
I would totally go for it if I were you, especially if it's going to be hot!
I don't think having the corset open would make that much difference in terms of temperature. I like how my dress looks much better with the panel.
I personally really don't care for the look of open corsets on wedding dresses. I don't think I've ever seen one that looked better without the modesty panel than with the modesty panel.
I think there is a time and place for hot and sexy and semi-revealing but a wedding should be more classy and elegent and I think that open corsets just give off the wrong feel to a wedding gown.
I prefer the look of modesty panels. I think too often the open corset looks like the gown doesn't fit properly, but I have also seen pictures where it looks nice, so really its up to personal preferences.
I'm using the modesty panel in mine for sure. Looks clean and pretty and doesn't raise question of whether the dress actually fits.
It also depends on how far down your corset goes. There was a post recently where a bride's corset went down to her bum-area and wouldn't really be appropriate to be open. So that's a consideration too.
I agree, it won't make that much difference in terms of temperature. I guess it really comes down to a matter of personal preferance. I do not care for the look, personally.
mine has a lil built one that doesn't come up all the way, but i am not using the additional modesty piece for the 3/4 of the corset. i think it's tight enough where it doesn't show much skin and it's not too low cut... and i like the look better without the modesty piece...
My corset goes down my bum!! So it has two modesty panels, one above and below. So if I wanted too I could cover my bum and leave my back open. I think you just have to try it and take some pictures. Then you can decide.
My dress (Ella Rosa B86) does not have a modesty panel. I thought about having one made from the material that is hemmed off, but I prefer it without! :D
I prefer corsets of all sorts open. That's how they were supposed to be worn!!! Ok, technically, they were worn over a chemise, but still... If it were me, it'd be open, but I prefer that look regardless. It has a more romantic fantasy-type appearance. And besides, it's your back, not your front and many MANY formal gowns are backless. No back down to the waist. if you can wear THAT to a formal dinner/restaurant/gathering, why not an open corset to a wedding???
my personal opinion would be to have the placket behind the lacing. i think it makes for a more finished and classy look.
i'd never seen it open like in that picture but i think it's a great idea if you're concerned about being really hot in your dress. as long as it doesn't go down too far i don't think it's too racy or anything.
Like some of the above posters said, I can't imagine that it would make a huge difference temperature wise. Also, I think you have to be mindful of where your wedding is taking place and the guests. For example if you are having a church wedding or inviting a lot of older/more traditional people, you might want to stick with the panel.
i think if i didn't have a panel, my backfat would've been buldging out! so maybe it also depends how tight one plans on pulling her corset XD
When i first started looking for my dress i thought i wanted a corset back....but i was soooo disappointed when all of the dress had the "modesty panel" in the back. If thats the look you want i say GO FOR IT!!!!! I dont think a corset back is to revealing nor do i feel it is any more risque than a garter toss...but thats just me....I think that a lil bit of revealing can be super sexy...and whos to say that sexy and classy are opposites or even mutually exclusive?
Thanks bees!
Per some of your suggestions, I've taken another look at the back, and I think I'm not going to go with the open back. The corset goes really, really low, (all the way down to my butt) and I definitely do not want to go for the sexy or sleazy look on my wedding day.
Here's the dress.
Thank you!!!
I think using the modesty panel is a better idea personally. The last wedding I went to, the bride had an open corset back, but it must have had a lower modesty panel or something, and the guests kept trying to guess whether the panel was a part of her dress or if we were getting a glimpse of her panties... kind of weird.
I would never do an open corset...looks so tacky, in my opinion. I would be wondering why the entire time?
I feel like we are buds bc we have the same dres!!
Use a modesty panel...you wont regret it!
i wanted to have the modesty panel removed.. but at db they wouldn't and i couldn't even get her to take it in, so my dress was way too big on my wedding day...
@ royalmuskoka - We have the same dress and I think we're getting married on the same day!
I know you said that you want more ventilation, but I don't think it will make much difference. And I think that without the modesty panel, the dress doesn't look as "put together" as it does when the panel is used. My FI's cousin got married and she wore her corset open in the back, but only had half of a panel and to me it ruined the look of the dress, the part of the dress with the panel looked so much more polished, and the top part without the panel looked like the dress hadn't been finished. Don't get me wrong, she looked absolutely gorgeous, but it just didn't look all that great in the back, but of course everyone has their own taste.
I'm fairly positive I'm doing the open back. I think the modesty panel looks like you're trying to HIDE the fact that you have a corseted back. If you have it, why are you hiding it?
I cut mine down 3/4 to have mostly open and since it goes down to middle of my butt , I obv. kept the modesty panel from the small of my back downwards. I love it! I dont think I will regret it!
In truth, I don't think it will help to make you any cooler, it's very little exposed skin, in the big picture. I definitely much prefer the look of the panel, because I think it's less distracting, and more clean looking.
@futuremrsmaista:ditto.
Not the popular opinion, but I love the open back.
I actually came across pictures from an old ex's family member's wedding last weekend, and I actively cringed and my fiance made a screwface when we saw that the bride had an open corset. There was quite a lot of skin showing there, and I could imagine it being more tasteful if there was just a thin sliver, but in general, I am anti.

Is anyone going with an open corset? I've basically only seen pictures with the flap behind the ribbon, but I heard that my dress is HOT. I'm wondering how it would look if I didn't use that flap for coversage just so I could get some air conditioning.
Anyone doing this and have pictures to share? I think it would look gorgeous but just haven't seen it that way on any brides!
