Dress with Illusion Back - Causes Bunching?

Kerry, on August 18, 2017 at 4:56 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

Hey everyone! I'm currently debating between two gorgeous dresses. One has an illusion back, and the other is a corset back. I'm in love with them both! The only thing I'm worried about is the illusion back looking like it's scrunched up, creating what looks like "rolls" on my back, if you know what I mean. Now, I'm thinking this is because the dress in store was way too big, and when it's fitted, it wouldn't do that.

Anyone have experience with an illusion back and can alleviate my fears?

    This is the illusion back. It was quite a few sizes too big in this store.

    The corset back one. The straps on here were clipped on because it's originally strapless.

    I love The illusion back. I tried one on at Thr store and it was sooo beautiful from the back. But it didn't look very good from the front.

    My dress has an illusion back covered in lace and beading. It's sort of similar to yours. If the dress is too big it will bunch up in the back as you are describing. I had my second fitting today and it looks just fine but any excess weight in that area (i.e. little or not so little love handles) will show. The beading and lace details are hiding any little roll I have.

    The back of my dress is similar to the one in this pic.

    Thank you mrsaj2b! That makes me feel better. It sounds like it's doing that because it's too big.

    Once you have it fitted it will look better!

    I love the illusion back dress! I think that once it is fitted to you it won't do the rolling thing and will look stunning

    Mine has a illusion back!

    No issues with the fit and scrunching up....

    Alterations make a huge difference.

    I also have a dress with an illusion back and alterations will fix that! Mine was doing the same thing on me because it was too big! Smiley smile

    I had my seamstress add boning along the buttons to give it more structure.
