1. A garment accessory comprises:
- a member having first and second ends and a length between the first and second ends, with the length of the member between the first and second ends being approximately half of the circumference of the chest of a subject that the member is configured to be positioned on;
a pair of fastener mechanisms disposed in proximity to the first and second ends of the member, the fastener mechanisms configured to attach the member to an article of clothing at portions of the article of clothing that are at the sides of the subject, when the article of clothing is worn by the subject; and
at least a pair of sensors supported at the pair of fastener mechanisms of the member, the sensors having sensor membranes of the sensors configured to rest against the skin of the subject;
the fastener mechanisms comprising tabs comprised of a stiff material of a sufficient stiffness and having fold portions to attach to the article of clothing, with the fold portions disposed to fold away from the skin of the subject.
