Things are getting racier by the minute in fashion with women wearing sheer drapes of fabric over bodysuits and cut outs from the collarbones to the navel.
I, as one can imagine, am not a big fan of this movement. I don't appreciate cutting your skirt so high that you might accidentally flash your hoo-ha (coughChrissyTeigencough), or needing endless double sided tape to keep your nipples to yourself. Enter the compromise zone of the backless gown.
They're definitely sexy, but never vulgar. These takes are all fun without pushing the envelope, and it's interesting how many completely different styles can work with a backless gown. Even with your hair swept up you still maintain your dignity, and the most anyone takes away is that you're somehow so in shape that even your back muscles look good.

What do you think? Would you ever risk going braless in a backless dress, or do you prefer to keep your show-off zone to the front?
