Dress vote - corset back or button back?

I'd say corset too, , , , (give or take an inch if need be?)

xx

As a general rule I think I prefer corset back however, my dress has a buttoned back and I love it

See i always thought i'd have a corset back, but in the end I went for button!

me too- although still wish I had the flexibility of the corset back- stuck with corsets for bridesmaid dresses

Buttons, always. Corsets make me think of underwear and seem to be a huge factor in over hanging back fat.

Corset back for me, i think they look lovely and also handy to loosen up after eating ?

My friend went to a wedding last month where the bride was wearing a button back dress, it got so tight after eating and drinking all day she got fed up went to the loo and un did it all, my friend then found her crying in the toilets because she was so uncomfortable - in the end she had to lend the bride her shawl to wear over the dress so she didnt have to do it back up!!

Sounds like a poorly fitted dress in the first place!

Buttons. Really dislike corset backs - I would NEVER wear lace up clothing on a regular day for a good reason.

Corset

Corset - but only for a wedding dress!

Corset - when they're used right ie. right dress, right bride.

Saying that, my dress is buttoned back. (had to look that up ?)

Corset back for me too - it's probably the only occasion I'll ever have to wear one, and it does wonderful things for my waist!

I plan to have a lace bolero thingy in case of any back fat problems. ?

Best of both... my dress has a button-back, and an internal corset.

I just really love the look of button backs.

Mine's a button back with an infernal corset - best of both worlds!

Completely depends on the dress. Buttons are timeless elegance, corset backs are modern and sexy. However, I have neither and will maybe be the only bride here who has to put her dress on over her head

I like both and they both can be stunning.

For me though, I knew when I started looking for my dress I definately wanted a corset back, I love the gothic/gypsy type look and knew that a corset back was top of the list for me.

I'm putting my shoulder blades on a diet right now! ?

I've got a corset back and it's in a bigger size so the sides are closer together instead of wide apart as to me it looks like you've had to squeeze into the dress if they're wider.

Corset Back!!!

I really DIDN'T want a corset back, but ended up with a dress with one; have chosen really thin ribbons so it isn't too much of a feature...I'm happy with it as it doesn't look too corset-y. Not sure I like buttons either; I'm just a fussy b*gger...don't know what else there is! But choice between the two I'd have buttons as it seems everyone has corsets these days...although I have a corset too

Damn those infernal corsets! Hehe

WSS.

Not so sure if I shall be such a fan at the end of the night though if OH has got a wobble on - It is going to take him forever to undo!

My dress is button back but totally suits the style of dress (lace) A lace dress would look silly with a corset back

Another corset back...umm...backer here!

I just think that unless a dress is made to measure (and even if it is to be honest), that the corset back will give a better fit, but also it will help cinch in the waist, as well as being a bit more forgiving if you've either lost/gained weight!

I thought i wanted corset but looove the buttons on mine!

I love the button back. Love dresses with buttons all the way down the back. Mine is a button back with an internal hook and eye corset thing and it has a zip then I do the crystal buttons. Al's going to have a hard time getting me out of that! ?

My MIL2B said something similar... buttons are quite expensive compared to ribbon, and when dresses were all handmade etc, buttons would show that you (well, your family) had the money to buy such an expensive feature.

Buttons!

No more to add!

Buttons. I don't like corset back dresses that have a huge gap in the middle. Makes the dress look like it's too small.

Cannot stand corset backs1 They're so fussy and more often than not look messy and don't suit the wearer.

Personal opinion; no need to start a debate ?

Corset back for me but I hate them when brides wear it closed up almost, the corset is supposed to be a V shape.
