Backless dresses are another secret obsession for me….like kimonos, only that obsession is no secret. I was browsing some online retailer and saw this dress. Immediately in love, I nabbed it on a sale, and loved it even more when I tried it on. The only catch? The arm straps were way too loose and I felt like I was risking a Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction big time. So I hopped on over to the fabric store and found a lovely little pink ribbon to match, sewed that across the back so as to secure the two arm straps to each other and guaranteed that those puppies were not going anywhere….thus ensuring that no one was going to see my puppies. *see what I did there?Puppies, puppies…meaning boobs, get it?*
This was also a fabulous cottage outfit because a) light and breezy as mentioned before, and b) it’s a wrinkly style which means the three hours driving home would only add to it’s allure.
Puppies…Meaning Boobs!

July 11, 2014I love the look of backless dresses like this, but wearing them is tricky for me – what do you do for a bra? Or do you just go bra-less? Or is this TMI? Haha.

July 11, 2014Well, if the material is thick enough at the front, like this, then I go braless. But if it's thin or you need some support, there are silicon bras that attach to the skin and offer some support. I've got two of them actually.
