Barely gets the job done, and only with help
I got this to wear under my work shirts at work to keep from hunching over in front of my computer. It doesn't really sit in place - it kept sliding up my back, and the straps that go over my shoulder kept folding at the ends of my clavicle and pinching. The bars in it are straight, not spine-shaped, so they jut out near the shoulders.<br /><br />I had to form the bars, get garters for the waist strap to keep it from riding up, and pads I sewed into the shoulder straps to push over more surface area. The velcro is decent and the straps fit anyone under obese body size, so not me so much.<br /><br />Stay away unless you're willing to do some extensive alterations. You get what you pay for, but in this instance that plus altering can probably save you money over the higher end braces.
