How to Hide a Scoliosis Brace

Scoliosis is a condition where lateral curves exist in the spinal column. It's usually discovered in the childhood or teenage years. A brace is a common treatment for scoliosis. The brace is usually made of plastic, and usually is worn from just below the underarms to the hips. Some types of braces also include a neck ring held in place by vertical bars.

Instructions

• 1

  Get some tank tops. It might help to wear one over the brace to cover it, with another on top. You can also wear tank tops under low cut clothing.

• 2

  Make sure your clothes are not too tight. You don't have to wear baggy clothing, but the brace will show through tight clothes.

• 3

  Look for stores that will tailor clothes for free. It may be hard to find clothing, especially pants, that will fit around the waist without needing to be altered.

• 4

  Find baby doll tops. Baby doll tops are fitted under the bust and loose at the waist, great for flowing over the brace.

• 5

  Get used to buying a larger size than you may have purchased before the brace. Keep in mind that clothing made of cotton might shrink.

• 6

  Buy drawstring or elastic waist pants. If you want to wear jeans, buy loose fitting ones or maternity pants in your size that will fit around your waist. Experiment with wearing jeans under the brace. Some people find this uncomfortable.
