Challenge #4: The Back of a Ballgown

I tried to think about dancing with a number of people in a social setting and was mindful of the low-cut back and kept it as high as I could while keeping the shape of the front bodice. The bodice piece was made all on a straight line to keep the piping neat and was curved just by the use of darts.

I kept the back as high as possible as I don't think that I would want to feel different men's hands on my bare back while at a social ball, and would want enough fabric from the waist upwards to ensure that my bare skin be covered.
