QuestionHow do you cover a backless dress? I wore a shawl on top, yet you can still see the bottom of my back.Savannah VoldCommunity AnswerOne way to cover the bottom of your back would be to wear a camisole in a similar shade to your dress, so it blends in.

QuestionMy dress has a design on the neckline, but it's too low. How do I fix that?Savannah VoldCommunity AnswerThe easiest way to fix a dress with a low design is to wear a camisole, half-cami, or a bandeau top underneath.
