ALIGNMED BRAS

These are fabulous for posture awareness. They gently activate your scapula muscles without forcing them back. There are better support bras on the market, but I've yet to find a better posture reminder. Unlike posture braces, you can wear these all day without getting rubs on the front of your shoulders.
I have most sizes in white, beige or black in stock . Pick up Yaldhurst. Or I can post $165

I have 1 of each size left in stock. Small, regular, large and western
