Black is a pretty popular color, but we also have Gray, Beige, Brown and more in stock now. You’re likely to find the perfect open back dress among the distinctive accessories we have available, which includes versions made as long ago as the 19th Century as well as those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Finding an appealing accessory such as this — no matter the origin — is easy, but Azzedine Alaïa, Gucci and Jean Paul Gaultier each produced a popular version that is worth a look.

How Much is a Open Back Dress?

Finding the Right Clothing for You

Start building your collection of covetable and iconic vintage clothing today — no matter where you roam, there is a curated selection of designer dresses and gowns, sweaters, shirts, dazzling shoes and more on 1stDibs that will keep you covered in the hottest styles from head to toe.

From elegant museum-worthy vintage Chanel dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing for sale on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. 

Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino, Ralph Lauren and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Balmain endure for haute couture advocates and beyond. 

And vintage is the name of the game on today’s red carpets, too. Celebrity stylists are turning to archival pieces created by the likes of Bob Mackie, Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier as alternatives to new gowns plucked straight off the runway. Wearing such sought-after items gives celebrities instant allure and suggests a personal style that’s not only achingly glamorous but intellectually informed and influenced by a love of craftsmanship. 

Those seeking contemporary luxury looks and in-demand street-style fits can indulge in designs by Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Loro Piana, while pieces from Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace endure as examples of fashion’s most covetable goods. 

The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. Find vintage clothing and accessories for sale on 1stDibs, including designs by Balenciaga, Valentino, Celine, Loewe and more.

Questions About Open Back Dress
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    What open-back heels are called depends on the design of the back. A high-heeled shoe with a completely open back is a mule. On the other hand, heels with a strap in the back to keep the shoes in place are slingbacks. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of heels from some of the world's top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    What an open-back shoe is called depends on its style. If the shoe has a closed toe and a completely open back, it's a mule, while an open heel with a strap to hold it in place is a slingback. A sandal with an open back is usually referred to as a slide. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of shoes.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To open a Waltham pocket watch, seek the help of an experienced watch repairer. Opening a pocket watch on your own could end up damaging the timepiece. A professional has the tools necessary to perform the task safely. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Waltham pocket watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    It’s highly recommended that if you need to open the back of your Rolex watch, you take it to a Rolex dealer. A trained professional will use special tools to access the back. Attempting to open your watch by yourself — rather than visiting a professional — may cause damage to your luxury timepiece. If you want to open it anyway, it is said that you can open the watch with the use of a rubber ball that measures about three inches across. Press the ball hard into the back of the case, and twist it in a counter-clockwise direction. Find a collection of vintage and modern Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Victorian dresses consist of two parts, the bodice and the skirt. What makes Victorian dresses special and distinctive is the ample back of the skirt which is supported by a bustle. The bustle is not a part of the dress; it is an undergarment that’s similar to a half slip with enough support to lift the heavy fabrics of a Victorian skirt. Shop a collection of vintage clothing from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
