Choosing the right garment: When selecting your piece of clothing, opt for light natural fibers such as linen, cotton or very light denim. Steer clear of overly stretchy materials, fabric with a loose weave, or oversized items. Shirts, tote bags, and shorts are all acceptable options. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
