“Congratulations to Hope’s Closet for a great concept and wonderful new product. I think that any clothing that can make young ladies who have scoliosis feel better about wearing their brace and better about themselves, in general, is really wonderful. After hearing so many of our patients complain about how their brace was hot and uncomfortable to wear, your new tank top is going to be a huge success with them. It looks really slim, functional, and has a style that our patients have been hoping for. We anticipate sending many young ladies to your website.”
