Don't you hate trying to find a shirt with the proper fit to wear with your brace? Search no more. You found us.
To get the best fit, we need some measurements. It may seem inconvenient at first but understand, we do not mass produce anything! Here at Brace Buddies, every item is made to order just for you!
Here are the measurements you'll need. "C" Size - The Circumference of the largest measurement around your torso. Just the body without the brace. Let us know the wiast as well. "TH" Size - The Torso Height is the measurement from the bend of your hip or bottom of the brace to the top of your shoulder. "SA" Size - The shoulder to armpit is the measurement from the top of the shoulder to under the armpit and back to the top of the shoulder again. "B" Size - The bicep size is the measurement of the largest part of the upper arm. OR if you want to choose the exact shirt length and size you want, enter those details in the comments section.
Complete all fields and "Add to Cart". Prices change according to the "C" Size. Reach out to us with questions or add comments to the measurements section.
***IF YOU HAVE ORDERED BEFORE AND YOU KNOW THE EXACT LENGTH AND WIDTH YOU WANT, ADD THESE DETAILS TO THE COMMENTS.***
The images are intended to show fabric colour only and do not show what the finished shirt will look like.

Strapless Body Sock
The Body Sock is gender neutral.
This shirt is extra long and is meant to be worn as a double layer. A layer for under the brace and another layer for over the brace.
The underlayer helps to protect the skin from touching the brace. This helps to protect against chafing around the underarms and upper chest with higher braces.
The outer layer acts as a barrier between the brace and regular clothing preventing the brace from contacting the clothes. This shirt will also save regular clothes from getting snagged by the brace straps.
The body sock looks like a strapless tank top, allowing you to wear more clothing options like off the shoulder shirts or a t-shirt with any neck size.
This shirt will completely cover the brace, so it helps to disguise the brace. There is nothing shameful about wearing a brace but that does not mean you always want it to show with your outfits!
A creative idea we have heard from some of our Body Sock customers, is to wear the Body Sock as a long tube dress when not wearing the brace. They said it is like a t-shirt dress but strapless! Feel free to give that a try if you think it might be fun!!
If you would like the Brace Buddy to come up over the chest but are unsure if it will stay in place because of the style of your brace, you may want to try the matching clip with the tie back strap. Another option would be to try the Tank Top Body Sock.
Tip 1. Get the colours you prefer to see in your wardrobe.
Tip 2. If you need something special, such as, g-tube access, please message us in the comments on the order page or in the Notes section of the Cart.

Be specific and order the correct size or the shirt will not fit properly!!
If you do not have a fabric measuring tape, use a string to wrap around the body marking the length and measure the mark on the string with a measuring tape afterward.
“C” Size is the shirt Width
Select the correct Circumference “C” size. If you order a size too small the shirt will NOT fit over the brace! To get the correct size, measure the chest and waist to get the largest circumference of the torso, then use that largest number to select your “C” Size.
Adding the measurements helps us ensure the correct size was ordered.
If you have any concerns or would like to submit a special request, please add notes to the comments section.
“TH” Size is the shirt Length
Measure from the bend in your hip or bottom of the brace to the top of your shoulder to get your “TH” Size (Torso Height). Then select that shirt length. We will make the shirt according to the measurements provided.
“SA” Size is the Shoulder size
Measure from the top of the shoulder around the underarm and back up to the top of the shoulder again.
This measurement helps to ensure there is not too little or too much fabric in the armpit.
Seam
The product photos show the seam in the front to make you aware there is a seam in this shirt. However, you can wear the shirt with the seam anywhere on the body.
We recommend not placing the seam under the brace padding on the ribs but most report they do not notice the seam even when it is between the padding and the ribs.
You will figure out how it is most comfortable for you.
