Sexy Back

When I saw this dress I immediately fell in love with the print and the placement of the straps on the back! Of course, wearing a strapless bra is pretty much out of the question so what do you do?
 
First things first, you’re going to want to invest in breast petals. I actually wear these almost every day, even when I am wearing a bra because it prevents the “headlights” look.
 
Next, it’s simply a matter of tailoring. Just have the straps of the back adjusted so that you don’t have any side boob! If you know how to sew, you can actually just do it yourself, but if not it’s a quick fix that any tailor can do for you!
 
That’s it! Super simple! I know some people are advocates of backless bras but I’ve never found them to be too comfortable. What’s your personal choice? Do you like backless bras and if so, what’s your favorite brand? Let me know in the comments below!

    This dress looks super comfy and transitions well. Wear it while browsing thru a farmer’s market on Saturday morning, and then to a casual dinner with the girls later that night!
