    Mid back, not too deep

    Low back! Too much cleavage can just look tasteless.

    I'm definitely not that comfortable to have either but if I had to choose, I'd rather go with low back.

    If I could have done an illusion back I would have, but the "girls" need more support.

    Low back with illusion neckline! It just seems so classy to me, showing just a hint but not giving away all the goods = the epitome of sexy to me.

    I like both, I just can't pull off the plunging neckline. I'm a little too top heavy and need some support. With normal tops, I typically can't do either. I'm very excited to finally be able to wear something open backed and feel secure. (Thanks sewn in cups!)

    Neither? I love the idea of a backless dress...but almost no pictures are going to show the back...so I dunno, I guess balanced?

    I wish I could wear a low back! They are beautiful. The liw neck only looks good on girls with flatter chests.

    I think it depends on you. I was not comfortable in a plunging neckline with my conservative parents but if you dont have that problem then go for it. My dress has a very low back and my mother was not happy either but i loved it! lol

    Low back! I have to wear some type of bra for the most part and in my experience, they are more forgiving. The plunging just highlights how large my chest is and makes me uncomfortable.
