I have scoliosis. :[ and i have to wear a back brace. i had to wear it all throughout my 8th grade year and will probably have to wear it through my 9th as well.
i have a very small class and they are all very understanding and not judgmental, but i am very self conscious and worry a lot about trying to hide my brace, even though they've encouraged me to wear what was comfortable. i've always been insecure of my weight and can't help but worry about hiding it.
last year, i wore a jacket every day, even in august and may, because i felt huge in my little shell.
so my question is: what kind of shirts can one wear to cover this up? any tips would be greatly appreciated and i thank you for your time :]
and i was fortunate enough to get the smaller back brace - not the one that come way up on your neck. mine goes from the bustline to the bottom of my stomach
by the way - my main problem is not hiding the fact that i have a brace because people mostly can't tell. i'm mainly worried that people will think i'm fat because the brace adds 7 inches to my waist.
