My dress has a zipper but just curious what difference a corset back makes from a zipper back?

    With a corset back you might be able to just tie it a little tighter/looser if it doesn’t fit perfectly.

    The corset back gives the bride wiggle room opposed to the zipper back. If your weight happens to fluctuate or you gain/lose a couple pounds before the big day the corset back can more easily adjust to your new shape since it's not a standard zipper. Hope this answers your question Smiley smile

    I felt way more secure in corset dresses vs zipper dresses.

    Corset has much more flexibility. I love the corset back but the dress I am looking at doesn’t have one. I have been co soldering finding a seamstress to add it in.

    A corset will give you more wiggle room if you gain or lose a little between your last fitting and the wedding.

    I went corset because I have a major bloating problem and can go up/down 10 pounds in a week depending on the week.

    I tried on the same dress (which I eventually bought) with a zipper and a corset. The corset gave me a better hourglass shape whereas the other dress just draped over my body.

    Hi...I prefer zippered back dresses. But thats my opinion....I always have thought corsets look trashy...always reminds me of those saloon girls in western movies.
