Hopes Closet was founded in September 2012 by a mother whose daughter has scoliosis. After a failed trip to the mall to find t-shirts that would fit under or over her new brace, Hope asked her mom why nobody made clothing that was brace friendly. A few weeks later Hopes Closet was born. The website is now selling Hope’s Embrace (a line of chic and appropriate tops to be worn under the brace). They are also designing a collection of tops that can be worn over the brace too. Hopes Closet is collaborating with a company to ensure that girls with scoliosis know there is finally a place they can shop for, and even help design, chic brace friendly clothing.
