Got a fancy dinner date tonight? Bring your sexy back with the perfect backless dress! Here are 4 tricks to show off your body with class.
1- Stick-on bra

You can't hook on your regular bra with backless dress on, cause the band goes across your back. Beats the whole aesthetic of it, right?
That's why you'll need a stick-on bra. It comes with self-adhesive cups on the front. No bands, clasp or straps showing at all.
Bonus: It lifts & enhance your bust very well too without the risk of nip-slips.
Get yours on Zalora or Triumph.
2- Kim K's tape hack

If you've been keeping up (lol), you know Kim Kardashian swears by fashion tapes to keep her dress strapped on. It's just like a strip of double-sided tape, but make it skin-safe.
To keep the tapes hidden from her neckline, she secures the fabric to the top of her shoulders instead.
She even launched her own line of Body Tape for every skin tone or dress colour. If it's off your budget, shop for affordable ones from Marks & Spencer or Cotton On.
3- Prep your back

Backless dresses are every celeb's red-carpet favourite. So, prep your back the way they do if you want to look flawless.
That means exfoliate with a loofah/ dry brush/ natural scrub & moisturize regularly.
If you got fine hairs on your back, wax them off if you prefer a smooth canvas.
And, treat your 'bacne' -or back acne quickly. You won't want to ruin someone's dinner!
4- Touch Up

Your back will be on show the entire time. So, make it look good with simple makeup from your own vanity.
- A concealer (a shade lighter than your back) will cover up any pigmentation, acne or scar.
- If you'll like to highlight your back a little more , try contouring the hollows behind your shoulder blades, the sides of your spine & down the side of your neck. Finish with some powder.
- Highlight the top of your shoulder blades with a powder highlighter.
