8 Daring Open Back Dresses ...

Open back dresses are a great way to show off some skin in an unexpected manner. Whether you go for a fully backless number or more subtle cut out details, an open back dress is a fun way to change things up. A sundress with an open back is a way to wear the look casually during the day, and dressy backless numbers can look chic at night. Take some style inspiration from a few dresses with open backs, below.
