Backless outfits

We currently have 3 tags describing outfits not covering the whole back:

• Backless/Backless outfit (See topic #14662)
• Open back/Open-back dress
• Back cutout

Are all of these tags needed, should any of them be used together and if so should some implications be made? The wiki for the first two is describing the same thing and the last one seem to fit the description of the first two.

I think so, yes.
Open-back dress is a very distinct dress, mostly evening_gowns should fall under this tag, though (post #2836229, post #2917150).
But also when the upper back is exposed, this tag still fits (post #2920490, imagine it wouldn't be see-through).

Backless outfit might apply to attires that are not dresses (post #2922520, post #2909919)

Back cutout however is for attire that do cover the back normally, but have a cutout. You might compare it to navel_cutout for the stomach area (post #2903986, post #2898353)

Those tags can be subsets of each other, but not necessarily.

Backless to me seems to be the same as backless_outfit, so I would alias that.

create alias open_back -> backless_outfit
create alias backless -> backless_outfit
create alias back_opening -> back_cutout
create implication open-back_dress -> backless_outfit
remove alias backless_dress -> open-back_dress

• Open back and backless are redundant. I've already added backless outfit to these. The few that weren't fully backless I moved to back cutout or bare back.

• Back opening is the same thing as back cutout. The ones that weren't cutouts I moved to backless outfit.

• Open-back dress is a subset of backless outfit. Open-back dress should be named backless dress for consistency, but in order to do that the backless dress -> open-back dress alias must be removed first.

EDIT: The tag alias open_back -> backless_outfit has conflicting wiki pages. backless_outfit should be updated to include information from open_back if necessary.

I started thinking about situations where outfits were open back or have a back opening not by design but because they haven't been done up at the back, how such things aren't really "backless outfits", and how these tags could make such images much easier to find, but then decided it would be better still to just create a tag specifically for such images when I next come across one, so +1.

As mentioned above, rename open-back dress to backless dress for consistency with backless outfit.
