Ted Baker had some really nice ones last season - I brought one for a wedding.

MrsBadger · 21/06/2007 12:38

yes

why do you want a backless dress?!
12-14 implies Bra Neccessary and they are rarely compatible with backless

Jazzicatz · 21/06/2007 12:39

Ooohh I will have a look, I like Ted Baker.

Thought I would go for something different, I am a 34C so not too big, and also have a backless bra!!!

also try Karen Millen - I seem to remember they had some nice low back things too!

this is nice

I love this

what sort of night out?

backless tunic sounds horrid tbh, like a mixture of two styles

I will link ALL on Debenhams and you can point out a particular style

sweetheart · 21/06/2007 12:55

that asos dress is lovely! Wish I had the legs for it - what a bargain too!

Unfortunatly I'd look like a right fat old trollop in it!

MamaMaiasaura · 21/06/2007 12:55

at 5'10

oliveoil · 21/06/2007 12:59

(That asos one was very tarty, shudder, not to my taste at all. But then I am an old bag)

this has a v back, debenhams, tons more on there

Jazzicatz · 21/06/2007 13:09

Think I meant fairly short length, and high at the front, then backless - does that make sense??

erm, no

if you want backless you want it more fitting surely or you will be flashing all and sundry

will have a mooch

DO NOT GET THE ASOS ONE UNLESS YOU ARE 18

Jazzicatz · 21/06/2007 13:13

No the ASOS one is not really for me!!

if it is - go onto Ebay, go into womens clothes, select dresses and then search for backless. They have lots of different styles and colours.

Jazzicatz · 21/06/2007 15:56

OOOhhhh thanks sweetheart!!!

Is that what you meant then? There were lots of these dresses around a few months ago. French connection did a sort of gold stripe one that Sienna Miller (I think) wore and was beautiful!

Enid · 21/06/2007 16:40

the kate moss one for topshop is lovely

but it is truly backless so what do you do about bra

gorge dress though
