corset back

Criss-crossed ribbon fastening

A corset back is a style of closure on garments—especially wedding dresses, formal gowns, and corsets themselves—featuring crisscrossed lacing through eyelets or loops, mimicking traditional corset construction.

The lacing allows adjustment for fit and creates a decorative V-shaped or X-pattern detail: She chose a gown with a corset back so it could be cinched perfectly.

Also called lace-up back.
