You want to rock that pretty backless dress. You cannot help, but dream of letting the supermodel in you awaken. Then you remember the back fat, and your dreams are crushed just like that.
Back fat plagues even the best of us. Those who shine in those backless dresses, those you secretly envy, they too struggle with back fat. But what they know is how to hide back fat in a dress.
Luckily, by the time you are done reading this post, you will be a pro in back fat camouflage in a backless dress. You will be the go-to fashionista for your girls.
How to hide back fat
You can choose the long or short route in achieving a flawless back when you rock your backless dress.
Tone your body
The long route entails a lot of time, self-discipline, and self-drive to achieve your goal. It involves incorporating a routine exercise schedule consistently throughout your week. The beauty of exercise is that it will have a ripple effect as it will lead to toning your entire body, and not only your back.
You will need to pair up your exercise regime with a clean and healthy diet. Increase the intake of leafy veggies, whole grain and water in the litres. Not only will your back flab be eliminated, but you, girl, will radiate a glow like never before.
If you choose this route, go for exercises that focus on your abs and arms. Pilates and yoga exercises will also be excellent. You can do all this at the comfort of our home, or you can join a local gym and have the instructor recommend targeted exercises to burn the back flab fast.
If you are too lazy or short on time to incorporate an exercise regime into your day, here’s some good news: you can successfully hide all that unwanted back flab and look flawless as you rock that backless dress using a short route. All you require is the right equipment for a successful camouflage.
Correct dress fit
First, begin by choosing the correct dress fit for your body shape and size. It is not yet time to fit into that dress that is one or two sizes smaller than you. A smaller size will only accentuate your back fat, making it seem too much.
Get adhesive tape
Next, you will need to invest in some clear adhesive strips that instantly smooth that back fat giving you the perfect finish you desire. With this adhesive strip, all you need is to peel it off, place it on your back, lift, and voila! Flawless back instantly.
The adhesive strip is a back lift tape that is clear, and it helps tuck, lift and contour your body-how awesome is that! On top of that, it is not visible under your clothes, is comfortable, and becomes the perfect accessory to achieve a flawless back when you rock your backless dress. The downside to this adhesive strip is that you can use it only once.
Or get duct tape
Alternatively, you can use duct tape to achieve the same flawless back an adhesive strip offers. You can use premium kinesiology tape to help smoothen back fat. This tape offers more excellent elasticity than other adhesives and is stronger. It can also stay on your body longer, and it provides more support regardless of the conditions. This tape is perfect if yours is a plus-size backless dress because of the enhanced support. The downside to using duct tape is that it can be painful to remove.
Get yourself six yards of elegance; a saree
Also, you can effectively hide back fat in a saree. Sarees come in beautiful and vibrant colors that will instantly light up your mood. Also, they offer discretion when it comes to back at, which is what you want. However, you must know the type and combination of saree to wear to achieve your goal. There are a few tricks you can use to don this piece of elegance to hide back fat.
Pair with a long blouse
You can wear it with a long blouse. A short blouse is not always necessary. You can opt to pair up your saree with a long blouse to ooze that appeal of elegance. The blouse will effectively hide your back fat.
Fabric choice
Consider the fabric of your saree carefully. If you can choose the suitable fabric for your saree, you are halfway down the victory journey. Choose saree fabrics depending on your confidence level. You can select thicker fabrics to hide your back fat if you are not confident enough to show it off.
Chiffon and netted fabrics are transparent and will show off some skin underneath, and you do not want this. The fabric of choice to achieve effective back fat camouflage should be opaque or thicker and heavier, like thick cotton, brocade, and silk, to mention a few.
Drape your saree
Also, the way you drape your saree will go a long way in helping you achieve the ultimate flawless look. If you opt to pair it with a long blouse, ensure you drape your saree in a way that accentuates the biggest assets you want to flaunt. You can achieve this by letting your pallu hang loose and show off the long blouse. Often, a long blouse with a regular pallu will make you look broader. To combat this, and to hide back fat successfully, let your saree pallu flow.
Draw attention to other parts
Another trick when donning your saree to hide back fat is to draw attention to other parts. It is essential to remember that to achieve success in taking away attention from one body part, you need to draw attention to another part.
So, to take away attention from back fat, you can draw attention to your best assets. For instance, you can wear a ruffled blouse instead of a plain one so that the ruffle pattern draws attention from any signs of back fat, or you can embroider the neckline and let the piece draw all the attention from your flaws.
Trend by layering
You can also try layering. It may be something you have never tried or are not comfortable pulling off, but when it comes to hiding back fat, anything goes. Also, in the fashion world, it is essential to keep abreast of the current trends. These days, layering is trending.
The beauty of fashion is that rules are made to be broken, so you do not always have to wear your saree the same traditional way. You can add a touch of class by pairing your saree with a non-conservative blouse and then layering it with a jacket or cape. This adds uniqueness to your outfit and hides your back fat effectively.
Accessorise appropriately
Another trick is to accessorise your saree appropriately. It is essential to take your time when choosing accessories and footwear. Avoid too many chunky pieces and instead opt for statement accessories like vintage rings. For footwear, you can pair up your saree with a clean pair of heels to give a height illusion, which works like a charm to slender out your frame.
Most importantly, pair up your saree with a dash of confidence. This is perhaps the most important accessory to any outfit. You already look good, queen; now feel the part.
Carry your saree with a great flair that is almost contagious. Choose to be comfortable just the way you are, and you will create an aura of elegance and class that will attract gazes in the dozens compared to visible back fat.
Conclusion
Angel’s wings, as back fat is often referred to, should never be the reason why you shy away from rocking any outfit, backless or otherwise. All you need is a dash of confidence to layer up with your backless dress and have heads turning because of the elegance and classy appeal you exude. Now you are ready for that wedding or red-carpet event.
