    I want an open and low back with straps on mine because I have a shoulder tattoo and generally love my back (weird but its my favourite body part). That said detailed ones are gorgeous!

    Definitely open back, even if it is just a little bit

    Open back I suppose. I had a strapless dress so it wasn't a super low back, but my back was exposed above the bra line!

    Open back. I'd feel funny with a closed back.

    Open back, somewhat low cut - but not too low haha. Didn't want to feel like I have to be careful with every move I make!

    I always thought I wanted and open back dress but I ended up with a dress that had an illusion back. I guess things change lol

    Somewhere in between. It's not very low, but it's the lowest back I've ever worn! I won't be able to wear a bra.
