So I have always been very open about my scoliosis and my brace so I would wear it over my clothes to show it off. and the first day I ever wore it to school everyone thought I had broken my back. also I LOVE to mess with the medal detector security guards

A couple of years ago, I was traveling and kept my back brace in my suitcase. At the airport, when I was at customs, they detected my back brace, and asked me to open my suitcase. I had to explain to them that I had scoliosis and that the back brace was a part of my treatment.

I let my sister try my back brace on and she looked funny and almost fell over mainly because she is 4 years younger than me

Try to buy cotton clothes because they're really soft and lightweight, so you won't feel as hot as compared to when you wear clothes made of other materials.

cotton shorts and t shirts if dress they have to be flowy-Allison

1 this year will be my second -Allison

T-Shirt dresses, oversized tops with shorts, rompers

my advice would be to wear a strapless tank top under the brace so you can wear another tank top over-Allison
