Wedding Dresses with Button in Back

Show off your shoulders with a button back wedding dress

A button back wedding dress makes an elegant statement for the classic bride. Satin covered buttons are beautiful closures that are often added to stand out against chiffon or tulle fabrics for the more modern illusion back. Button backs are also a more classic look for all-over satin gowns.

Whether you want to have a small button accent or a full string of buttons that extend along the back of your gown, these delicate accents will give your wedding dress a traditional feel. Since many of your wedding guests will be seeing you from the back, creating more visual interest through the back of your wedding dress is a great idea.

Brides can always add a small set of buttons at the top of a large keyhole cut out or above a smaller cut-out below the more traditional strapless back. You’ll also find button backs that extend to the top of the waist or the hip. Another creative way to get the look of a button back without having to ask for extra help when you need to get into it, is the illusion buttons that are sewn to the back of the gown without the button loops and a zipper added at the closure.
