Strapless Dresses

One of the sexiest dress styles available is definitely the strapless dress which offers a very revealing appearance at the top. These dresses have no straps whatsoever so alluring parts of the body including the neckline, bust line, and clavicle are more protruding. This also brings more focus to the top including facial features, especially when the hair is in an updo hairstyle. Many dresses come without straps including short ones, long gowns, and even bridal dresses because so many unique and beautiful styles are produced. Dresses with no straps can still be combined with the different skirt silhouettes like princess and A-line as well as different necklines like a beautiful sweetheart style, perfect for weddings.

Dresses with No Straps

Short Lo Dress

Short dresses can come bare with no straps and this popular choice from Lauren Conrad’s small clothing line, which sold out pretty quickly. Dubbed the “Lo Dress”, it features a strapless bodice and a short hem. What sets this dress apart from the tube dress is the pleating detail at the front and the separation of the bodice and skirt. Overall it is a very adorable dress.

Strapless Gown

Gowns are just as lovely with no straps and this Max Azria BCBG floral piece shows this. It is easy to see the amount of attention that is brought to the top with the ruched bodice and empire waist band and bow. The floral print gives the dress the added touch. Many gowns implement this style because it is very flattering. Available at Nordstroms.

Bridal Dress

Bridal dresses can also come with no straps and this elegant one by Alfred Angelo displays a splendid creation. The dress has a sweetheart neckline matched with lace embroidering for that romantic feel. The dress really hugs the body and shows an hour glass figure. The perfect finish is the high-low hem that makes the dress more flowing. Many women prefer wedding dresses with no straps because of similar looks like this one.

Celebrity Style

Celebrities also love wearing these dresses too and Kate Beckinsale really shines in this yellow Luisa Beccaria dress at the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. It is a beautiful tiered dress with simple detail at the bodice. She enhances the dress with sparkling diamonds. She was just one of the many women that went strapless for the event.

Dress Tips

• Fit is a major concern because holding up the dress is left to the bodice.Look for a comfortable fit with no skin sticking out.
• For jewelry, stay away from necklaces but definitely go with bracelets and earrings.
• Look for detailed bodices as it will help soften issues with this section.
• For larger bust area, go with a square neckline and for more elegant style go with a sweetheart one.
