VERY true!! Good point, stay-stitching would be really helpful if you're not sure you can keep the fabric's original shape. McCalls is a different style of backless and you can wear a bra with it!
I skipped the back panel to make it more backless and made an elastic skirt instead since I was intimidated by the buttons. Unfortunately, I still have some alterations to do on mine since I cut the fabric wrong right off the bat, but here it is so far. Oh, interesting, cool to see a vintage backless pattern! Fun dress for summer! I've been thinking about making a backless dress, but I'm very intimidated by the whole no bra thing.
I don't think it would be a flattering look on me. But, I am thinking about making a low back long-sleeved tee, we'll see how that turns out. Oh, me, too. I prefer dresses I can wear bras with, for sure! I guess if it was super snug you could insert bra cups in it, like for a fancy party dress, but otherwise Good concept!
Not sure how comfy it would be, but would be fun to try! Best Offers for 3 pc anal plug near me and get free shipping. Best Offers for lr41 battery near me and get free shipping.

Thank you! I Would go the strapless bra option but then backless is not an option for me at all, I am just to big in the bust so it also depends on what you have to work with.
Putting in the boning may be difficult I would say in this style without it being visible. Thanks Heapha. This method of easing only shortens the edge and leaves ease in the back panels where you want movement. Patience is key. Hand work and hand basting will make life easier when you do the final stitching!
You can sew in bra cups and waist support. Making sure the back opening has a nice stable edge will help support the girls too! I second the waist stay — even without boning it will make the line of the dress more flattering and secure! Thank you — that is great advice and a fantastic tutorial! I had some back gaping on my muslin but hopefully this easing technique will fix it. Much appreciated!
I certainly agree that you have to start by evaluating you body before you decide on construction , but if it were me , I would buy a commercial convertible backless bra since you have the added bonus of STRAPS on this dress , it seems a bra with straps would add some comfort and wearability ,Add loops under the strap in the shoulder of dress to keep the bra from moving , perhaps a few more places to tack in or use body tape.
What would you do if the back was slightly below the natural waistline? That seems to be too low to use a waist stay. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
