Here are a few items we have found for cooler/cold weather;
This is a fairly light fabric but in a dark color to hide brace and velcro strap lines. It looks nice over a tank top. The belt adds a waistline that is otherwise hidden by the brace. The shirt can be worn without the belt for a looser fit.
A denim jacket is a great layer over shirts, tanks, long-sleeved tops, etc. and hides the velcro straps well, allowing you to wear a shirt underneath that might not otherwise be a good fit over the brace. Styles come in a variety of lengths. We found this one hid all the back straps well. Shorter ones may not do to the same job so make sure it is long enough.
This pairs a nice, thick, warm sweater with a long-sleeved top. The sweater has some texture to it with different woven patterns and can be worn open or closed. The length hides any trace of the brace in the back of the pants. The shirt has a wavy design on it, front and back, that do hide the brace lines well even without the sweater overtop.
Button-down casual shirts are a terrific layer over t-shirts and tank tops. They can be worn either open or closed and many have the option of rolling the sleeves up and fastening them in place for a shorter-sleeved look. These ones have some subtle lines and shape to them which can be seen best from the back.

In Scoliosis Clothing: Part 1 we posted about pants we found at Kohl's that work well with her brace.
In addition, Scoliosis Clothing: Part 2 talks about tops we found at H & M, another store where we have had success shopping for brace-appropriate clothing.
