How to Choose the Perfect Red Backless Dress

If you’re looking to make a bold, alluring statement at a formal event, you can’t go wrong with a red backless gown. When selecting the perfect dress for your body shape, personality, and the occasion, you should follow this guide that we’ve put together.

Know the event's dress code: For formal functions, including galas, proms, or weddings, go for a red backless long dress made with luxurious satin and silk fabrics for a sophisticated and glamorous vibe. Our bright red satin Esmerelda princess dress with a crescent moon neckline is a stunning choice and will make you look radiant in photographs as the shimmering fabric catches the light. Read More

Select the right shade of red for your skin tone: Not all reds will complement every skin tone. If you have paler or fair skin, cooler shades like crimson or wine will be the most flattering choices for you. Our red Rebecca satin wine dress will boost your skin’s natural glow as the deep hue gives a striking contrast to your light complexion that doesn’t overwhelm you. If you have olive or naturally tanned skin, opt for a warmer shade such as scarlet or deep red. Our red Betsy-Dora mermaid dress matches the warm energy of your skin tone, complimenting it perfectly. Finally, for people with darker skin, we recommend choosing a red gown with a bright, dark, or burgundy hue for a glowing complexion, such as our sparkling dark red Elissa mermaid dress with a bustier top.

Make sure the dress is the perfect fit for your body shape: If you have an hourglass figure, opt for a mermaid-style dress to hug and accentuate your curves. Our maroon, red lace crisscross-back Ayleen mermaid dress is a good choice because it will elegantly balance your natural proportions. For people with pear-shaped bodies, our red organza Burn Your Heart princess dress will draw attention to your upper body and away from your tummy, plus it’s super comfortable and easy to move around in. If you have an athletic build, a dress with ruffles, such as our red silk layered Eden dress, can add extra dimension and give people the impression that you have curves.

Make sure the dress is secure and comfortable: There’s nothing more embarrassing than a fashion faux pas in front of other people, especially if you will be seeing them again after the event. As the red backless dress is a bold and dramatic choice, it needs to fit comfortably and allow for easy movement. You need to be able to sit, walk, and dance in it without having to adjust it too frequently or stop it from falling from your chest area. Many of our backless dresses come with ties and padded breast cups for comfort and security.
