Stunning. I want a gold one like that :(
Backless is ALWAYS so sexy and sensual. Loving the Wallace dress. x
Lovely collection! The Sonia Rykiel resort purple striped dress is my fave- the bow is so cute!
ahhh, I'm in love!! That first Gucci picture...I die :-)
And - yes! This is one of my top favorite styles! Nothing is so sexy like backless!

A nice back can be so sexy! Time for me to hit the gym! ;)

The Antik Batik sequin backless dress = awesomeness! I think my back is probably one of my best features... too bad I can't show it off everyday at the office :D
Hot selection. I own the Free People top & love it!
To Bazaar Jan. 2009.. so hot!!
I'm drooling over the Chanel Couture. Stunning!
Such sexy backs! i kinda need that gold one...and a dramatic long black backless gown too...
you are speaking my language again, CC! i love an open back...so dramatic!
I love every single piece!!
Love the styles.. sexy but not too revealing.
I especially love backless evening wear! So many great picks!
Fabulous post!!! I love all of the models they're all the so gorgeous and all of the dresses are amazing!!

I'm in love! so sexy and glamorous, must get one for myself!

I think a (beautiful) back is one of the most sexy parts of the body! Thanks to pilates of course ;)

Please forgive my commenting absence, doll! I'm just now getting caught up with my Google Reader.
I'm so happy to see the "back" coming back in - such an elegant, understated look if done well. That dress from the Jan. '09 Harper's Bazaar is particularly TDF.
I have been eyeing that Sequin Crochet Detail V-Neck from Alloy for quite some time now. It seems like a sassy way to ease yourself into the showing off your back trend. Ooh, now I'm obsessed with showing off my back. It's such an uptown girl way of being sensual - somewhat like the off the shoulder top look. :)
gorgeous!
these are all so beautiful
a woman's back can be so sexy
love this!

Ohhh that Gucci...lust!!
I love an open back...so sexy!
I have never dared to wear low back because of a bad birthmark! But you've just inspired me <3
These are ~ ALL ~ delicious!! The woman in the white Gucci had better not bend forward for, like, ANY reason though or else that dress will turn pornographic! *heehee!*
An open back really is uber sexy. One of the only things I like about my teensy tiny breasts is the fact that I don't have to wear a bra. Backless is totally possible.
Ah, a look oh-so-close to my heart. I adore back detail, such amazing coverage carrie, as always.
Wonderful picks! I love how beautiful and sexy showing a little back can be.
Backs are wonderful - being backless says so much more!
love this post...a woman's back is so sexy
Ooh I love everything you picked out! Backless dresses are so sexy.
It's about time we bring focus to the back... So subtle but very sensual..

Backless gowns are stunningly sexy! I love the Zac Posen Carmen dress, as well as the Rick Owens twist dress. The editorials of the full-length backless gowns are amazing too!

Oddly, my back is my favorite part of my body so I think I definitley need to add one (or all!) of these stunning numbers to my closet. Such a stunning and elegant look.
Great! YSL captivated the women's back. Sex-ay! This is true... :-)
X★X★
i love backless dresses. it is so much sexier than showing off the front.
Love that pic from the Brazilian Vogue. That golden dress is impressive, love it so much. And I love backless dresses in general.
So LOVEly!
sometimes we do forget that people do look at our backs...so easily neglected part...just like the ceiling in our room! But I'm not about to paint dreamy clouds on my ceiling darling...not today at least!
hee*
xo*
backless is so sexy. :O
Carrie and Fifi got back( or backless)!!!! Love the understated sexy of backless.xoxo
Backless dresses are the only way to make an entrance. ;)
I love all the photos and I adore that gold dress in the second photo. So stunning.
Sublime! The dresses are gorgeous.
p.s. Your blog is very inspiring!
That silver sequins dress at the end is hot.
Very fashionable backs. You're ideas for these posts are very creative.
Love it all. Especially the one from Numero
How sexy!!
Actually the " back it up " piece I prefer from the ones I own is... a bathsuit ! It's incredible how dressed up it makes you look, even if it's actually UNdressed up ! xD
Fantastic post, thanks !!!
Wow... Sexy...
xo,
Christina
I love backless dresses. I don't know if I'd have the confidence to wear them though. I do love those with a slight dip on the back, or a design at the back. I particularly like the Zac Posen silk dress.
Showing your back is so much more attractive than baring your stomach. I love the shopping guide finds!
peace&love,
nicole.
I would love to wear that Antik Batik to my next red carpet appearance. Ah ha
stunning, wow!! love the gucci, i saw this should padded open back at shopbop--too fab!!
xoxo
hot hot HOT! this post makes me want to go to the gym ASAP!
the pic of the brazilian vogue is magnificent!
love love love dresses with no back, at times i wish i had itty bitty boobies so I can actually wear them ahahah
love your picks!
bravo!
backless is so fashionably sexy!

;)
Thanks, Carrie! Do you have Kipling in the USA?
Xxx
Loving the backlessness, so stylish and elegant without being trashy. Love it!
Open backs are so sexy!! I wish I wasn't so busty so I could pull this off.
I love the aqua navy blue open-back ruffle dress!
the challenge for me is finding a bra bc my girls definitely need support but I love the look of backless dresses...I love these. I DIE!
I love love backless styles... part of that whole Grecian goddess look I admire.
Gorg! i love the backs of these dresses.
Very beautiful and sexy dresses!
xoxo
one could be fully covered up in front but with a backless dress, it could be unbelievably sexy and provocative!
love the dresses!
great post ! love backless tops and dresses, so sexy...love the blue origami playsuit.
So stunning. There is something so sexy about backless.
thats a variety of sexy backs you got there :) im loving all of it!
xo,

I love backless dresses. You always gather such great photos. I love the chanel one. I own a vintage Miss Sixty that I adore. Would have been great for this post
I'm obsessed with all things backless, its ridiculous. Though be careful, because butt crack is horrible!!
i like it but i don't think i could pull it off!
love it.
love, love, love the antik batik sparkly dress.....so very chic!
thank you love :)
it's very awesome, i want natalia's dress, the back is very pretty :)
ah yes! an exposed back is unbelievable sexy! I love the American Apparel backless dresses
yes please the gold sequined dress
AW i love this post, i've always had a thing for interesting 'backs' to dresses.
I can't pull this off
I need bra's.
These looks are just stunning and so sexy. The Gucci ad is amazing!
Backless dresses are sooo hot. Great picks, Carrie!
Put ur back into it babes!! lol, nice to show some skin on there i find it enticing...
So beautiful. I really enjoyed looking at all the photos. Its true that back is sexy!!!
Ohh woah. so many stunning backs!!
xxx
That backless gold shimmery number is the bee's knees!
I love those dresses - but you always have that problem with the bra... ;-)
i love the gold sequin dress, and the black one with the multiple cut-outs!
lovely post! =)

Whan it comes to backless, it has been always a Gucci dress for me, Gucci by Tom Ford, of course.Thank you for the great post!
Love all of these, but especially the Brazilian Vogue sequined one (I'm so predictable). However, I don't think I'd ever wear something quite so backless. Would you?
I adore low back dresses and tops! one of my favourite dresses as a low back line and its black which is the perfect combination i think.
xx
oh how i love the rear! lol
i actually wore a dress VERY similar to that last picture you have- the painted image- to my prom! i was so Audrey so ahead of my time! : )
BEAUTIFUL!!
The photos of W mag and Harper´s Bazaar are HEAVEN!!!
Have a beautiful day, CC!!!
nothing like a sexy back!!!
Hey CC,
I'm so much more enticed by a sensual low cut back on a dress than the obvious low cut front. These dresses are all divine and I wouldn't say no to any of them. Perfection and just the right amount of bare skin to be sensual and seductive AND fashionable.
Love this post bella ;)
backless is so sexy!
wonderful selection of photos, darling!
have a lovely day, xoxo
So gorgeous!
I need to drum up the courage to pull a bare back off. There's something about it that is so revealing, isn't there?
<3 Kelsey
I think my designing friend Zang Toi does the BEST backless dresses.
Though I should add that I have the Antik Batik in gold!
Re your comment on my blog, yes, that pink backless gown in my old profile picture was Zang's...I also have this short dress from him: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2009/02/congrats-to-zang-toi-cfr-and-me/
Frank Tell ... the black or dark brown ... is my fav cc, but many ruffled me to grinnin' within with creativity a flutter.
preview? we'll have to seesee.
;)
I wish I could buy something from every one of your posts! The Geren Ford is calling my name today.
my how could i've missed yesterday..love bare backs in dresses. I think they are very sexy, sensual and glamorous..
Fabulous post!
Great way to be sexy and show some skin withought being overly provocative! Love it!
