Scoliosis style

In the April 2010 issue of Backbone, Jess and Melanie Calnan wrote an article on clothing to help flatter and disguise scoliosis.  Below are the fantastic photos and illustrations of some of the best scoliosis styles.

Thank you to Helen Davenport for the photographs and Jacqui Lewis for the sketches.

Racer back tops are a great way to conceal posterior scoliosis scars Layering up different coloured high backed tops are both warm and funky
Prom dresses can be tricky.  The bodice on this dress has several panels which enables a personalised fit Adding a bow detail to the side can disguise waist inbalance
Flattering style which skims the waist and the ribs sitting only on the hips A must have for spinal surgery!  Provides modesty, is cheap, easy to take on off and wash
A lovely floaty dress which allows movement without clinging to the figure The neck detail flatters the dress and allows for posterior fusion scars to be disguised
