If you want the focus to be on your back, accentuate your curves by choosing a backless dress. If you’re planning to show off some skin, make sure the back is the focal point by keeping other areas classy and covered up.

The Hair

When picking the right hairstyle, make sure to base it around the dress.  So if you’re wearing a very detailed, or patterned number, with lots of accessories, then an elegant up do will really make your dress stand out. especially when going for a strapless, sweetheart neckline. In contrast, if the dress is very simple, you might want to go for beachy waves, or lots of volume to add volume and character to your look. If you’re going to use extensions for extra volume and length, human hair extensions are the best option to go for. It will give you a more glamourous, natural looking sheen.
