I'd love to see dresses that feature the back in a really unique/beautiful way! Could be your own gown or just one you saw online. =)
=m
I'll bite. My Jim Hjelm 8810 has a pretty cool back (not a pic of me, just the model):
Here's the back of my dress. Sorry for the bad pic (it's the reflection in the mirror, I forget to get a shot of the back lol) but it's a watteau train (which I've having made removable, so I'll wear it for the ceremony, then remove right for the reception). Also, that little piece of the inside bra-strap you can see with be removed - so it's a very low back dress!
Omg @rplatzer ! I can't believe I've never seen that Jim Hjelm before. It's breathtaking.
I've been waiting for this thread to take off because I'm curious too. The backs of dresses are not usually a criteria you can enter when searching for dresses online. I know my FI will love it if I got one with a sexy back.
Here's one that I'm this close to buying! it's a Priscilla of Boston.
The back of my dress is the main reason why I chose it in the first place =)

Maggie Sottero - Eleanor! This is my dress but I won't be having the one-strap, three string back like in this photo. It looks cool and all, but my ceremony requires sleeves so I'm editing the back to be a keyhole.
this is the back of my dress, i think its pretty cool!!! i love the flowers and the ruffle that goes all the way down the back, and the bustle is ADORABLE I wish i had a picture...
I thought these three had particularly unusual backs. I really do love back detail on things - I think it's a very stylish place to have a "wow" feature.
Hi! Love this thread! I love the back of my dress, it's so pretty! The diamond part in the back is sheer/see-through!
Casablanca B002. I've decided I'm wearing the bow for the ceremony but taking it off for the ceremony

@SweetAdelineXO:I actually saw the back of this dress in the store after I purchased mine and was trying it for my first fitting, and I was sad I never saw it before.
But, just out of curiosity I went to see it closer, and while the dress is gorgeous, the front was just too "cleavagy" for me, so I was happy with mine again!
I love the back of my dress. Its so different I think. From far away it looks embellished but up close you can see the patterns of the dress.
@futureMrs.L: Yours is so my style too! haha. The WToo dress is my most-wanted, but unfortunately its a Fall 2010 so its kinda scarce in stores. Yours is actually on my list if I can't get the WToo! Allure, right? Do you have any pics of you in the dress? I'd love to see a real life bride in it!
@mrssireci....Thank you! My dress actually just came in and I am supposed to go try it on in the next week or so.....I wanted to lose a couple lbs before I went because my greatest fear has been that it wouldn't fit! I actually had nightmares about it! lol.... I will definitely send you some pics once I get my behind (which will hopefully be a few lbs lighter) down there to try it on. Super excited but a lil fearful as well...... =)
this is the dress i want...

These are some I liked (pardon my lace fixation!)



Here's mine (on the dress model); an interesting back was also a big selling point for me. Not only will the guests be seeing a lot of it, but my back is one of the few areas of my body I don't have qualms about revealing!
(I do think I'll do a quick application (or two) of sunless tanner before the wedding, though, just so I don't blind anyone with my whiteness!)
dude! i'm loving all these responses - SO helpful. And all your gowns are TO DIE FOR.
@everyone: Has anyone seen a HIGH NECK halter front, with a LOW back?
@FutureMrsSpinewiz - that is EXACTLY the kind of back I am looking for, but I really want a high-neck halter in the front! I LOVE that back!
@SweetAdeline and @MstoMrs - who designed your dresses?
@WhiteRoseRed - that third dress is the bomb!
=m
@ labbit
Yours is stunning! I love Claire Pettibone. Too bad I totally could not pull off her look (they looked like nightgowns on me).
Wow, great choices everyone! Love this post! I believe the back is so important because its seen the most.
