I have bought posture support items before, online. This one came from a chemist shop in London, Tanna's in Hatch End. I thought it was a good buy because less of a risk that buying online. I had in mind that if it was too small or large I might be able to change it. 

Putting It On

You have to do it up tightly to get it to have any effect. It does up, adjects with hook and loop in two places, around the body horizontally, and both shoulder straps. 

Taking It Off

To save time fixing it and working out the correct size, I tried to take it off by undoing only the horizontal strap. I left the two shoulder straps done up. 

Padding and Pressure - Pros and Cons

The shoulders are padded, which makes it comfortable. However, at first it pressed on my broken collarbone. I soon got used to that.

I also found it pressed on the middle of my spine between my shoulders. But that is because I am getting round shouldered. Maybe that means it is doing me good, straightening my spine, by trying to flatten it.

My working on my computer absorbs my attention. So, I soon forget the pressure of the posture support. I do notice it every now and then.

Thickness Of Shoulder Straps

The main disadvantage is the thickness of the padded shoulder straps. I wear it under my dress and I cannot do up my dress. 

I could wear it on top of a thin silk top. Under a jacket. But I worry that the pressure will ruin the silk shoulders of my top.

However, here I am wearing it. So, on the whole it is a success. Not a waste of money. 

Wearing It Long Term - or short term?

To prevent or correct round shoulders, you really ought to wear it long term.  Unless wearing it short term teaches you the habit of sitting upright.

You can wear it short term to relieve pain, or during a spell of work at a desk. Or to look good at an event, such as at a wedding, in photos, on TV, at a conference, or a business meeting.

I might wear it for a couple of days. Then put it away and forget about it. But that applies to many clothes I buy.

Eventually, I rediscover it months or years later, with delight.

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
