and roomy clothes

[Guest guest]

Ok, I am fortunate in that what is left is a small breast soon, I

hope, to be accompanied by a small psudo breast so this works for me.

I wear camisoles. The ones I like best are those with the adjustable

spaghetti straps. I don't have to take them off over my head, I just

slip the straps off my arms and step out of them. If you really want

to feel feminine get those little sleep sets that have the camisoles

and the cute boxers. I use thsm for day wear and they are very

comfortable under clothes. I got them on sale at Kmark for 6.99 a

set, not a bad deal!
