Statement back wedding dresses are very popular today, and you can see many styles: backless wedding dresses, illusion back wedding gowns, buttoned back wedding dresses and so on. today I’d like to share one more super eye-catchy idea that won’t leave you indifferent – racerback wedding dresses. Such a back is mostly used in sportswear or lingerie but these backs have recently come to the wedding world, too, and they are conquering the brides all over the world.
Racerbacks are amazing for any bridal style and any silhouette: mermaid, ballgown, A-line, and they can bring a relaxed or a refined touch to the dress, everything depends on the look of your racerback and the materials it’s made of. Racerbacks are usually lace, plain or jeweled ones, the latter have the same beading on the neckline usually. If you think that wearing a racerback isn’t comfortable, you can always go for an illusion racerback. Now let’s have a look at some examples for you to choose from.
Lace Racerback
A lace racerback is a popular detail for boho, relaxed, ethnic, modern dresses, and sometimes even for refined ones – everything depends on the lace used and on the overall look of the racerback. Crochet lace is used mostly for relaxed and boho gowns, more delicate lace will fit a romantic dress. your racerback can differ in color from the whole dress a little, maybe just a different shade to make a statement.
