It goes with just about any saree and fabric, as long as you can pull it off. But, I agree why some people think that these might look a little off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of bra should one wear with a backless blouse?

Honestly, gone are the days when you have to worry about looking for a bra to go with your backless blouses. Because backless blouses are invariably padded, with cups attached to the bodice, so you have nothing to worry about. If you already have a blouse that is non-padded and backless, look for silicon-stick on bras that are available just about anywhere, both online and offline.

What kind of jewelry should I wear with a backless blouse?

Keep your jewelry minimal. Backless blouses are a statement piece in themselves and have their own charm, and you really don’t want to take the spotlight away from them by wearing a statement necklace. Keep it simple by wearing a dainty necklace and opt for statement earrings and rings instead. Let your back be the show!
