Corset dress w/out modesty panel?

Anybody have pictures they wouldn't mind sharing? My dress has a beautiful corset back and I can't help but wonder if it might stand out more if we removed the modesty panel. Any opinions or pictures are greatly appreciated

    I vote panel and maybe change the color of the ribbon to make it stand out.

    I agree with pretty much everyone above. Panel.

    Partly because of the whole modesty idea. I never get why some people feel like they have to be all "sexy" at their wedding. Sure... look pretty and don't be afraid to (tastefully) show your curves, but the time to show a lot of your skin and be sexy is after the wedding. Not when your grandparents are sitting right there. Just my opinion really.

    It's so funny to me that everyone thinks that the back is so revealing - alot of dresses are completely backless or have a keyhole back. But for me this was never about being sexy--the only time I saw this done in real life, there was not much skin showing at all. Just a little sliver so that the corset lacing was highlighted.

    You guys have pretty much convinced me away from it, because I very much DON'T want to show too much skin or come off with a too-sexy vibe. I just didn't expect this kind of reaction because I never saw it done in a trashy way in real life.

    I'm not a hussy bride, I swear!

    If you are looking to dress up the corset you could add a color fabric for your modesty panel, or add a colored ribbon.

    I know it is common to show back skin but agree that it looks like the dress is too small, not really a fashion statement you want to make lol...

    I have a corset back as well and am hoping to dress it up with a bit of bling at the waist--sash, most likely.

    In theory, it sounds really cool to skip the panel, but in actuality, they probably don't look so hot.

    I myself was looking for advice I have a 27 inch waist but have DD cup bust and my breasts cause my modesty panel to be too narrow
