Wedding dress to cover scar

Santatranter, 25 May, 2013 at 22:08 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hello, I have posted before almost a year ago whilst recovering from spinal surgery as my boyfriend said he would ask me to marry him after I had my surgery (it was a big decision). Well finally he asked me on my birthday at the beginning of the month! Anyway I now have a scar from just under the nape of my neck to the bottom of my back. I am not ashamed of it but have started looking at dresses and of course most are strapless. Anyone seen dresses that would cover it. I originally said I would embrace it so much that I would go for a backless dress but I would not feel comfortable in that irl. Anyone any ideas?

    There are quite a few dresses out there with lovely back details, perhaps your best bet would be to book some appointments at some dress shops, explain to the salesperson what you're looking for and they can advise you on any dresses they have with covered backs? Either that or you can add a lace bolero type thing to a strapless dress?

    Have you started looking at dresses at all and if so have you seen any you like?

    I think I remember this. How did the op go?

    You could get a strapless dress but then have a bolero or jacket to go over the top of it. Or get a boat neck type dress.

    Or maybe get one made?

    This dress is gorgeous, apologies if the detail isn't wide enough. Might be an option without feeling too covered up.

    I wanted straps and to be honest, there's much more choice now as its the current trend!

    Wow knew I could count on hitched! The two links are both gorgeous! Kirstabubble thanks for asking yes the op went well 8 hours and a week in hospital plus 3months off work but I am now back to work full time. So excited to start planning properly. Have been lurking as thought he would ask me sooner! I did think of a bolero but may be too warm later on. The rods in my back seem to make me feel a lot warmer than I used to! Any more suggestion are welcome. The one thing is I don't want to,spend too much but the ideas so far are fantastic.

    There are loads of high back or back detail dresses around - they are more fashionable at the mo than strapless I think. Some high street examples:

    I wasn't too keen on the look of the back online but in real life it's gorgeous!
