bras etc from Velvet

[Guest guest]

Lots of posts about bras etc, thought you might like to know about 'Nicola Jane'

here in UK who ship to USA and have quite a good range, actually have some

feminine lacy items and provided very good service when I bought from them last.

(before my recon) If any of you are handy with a needle and thread make a bag

for the prosthesis and safety pin the bag once filled to the inside of your bra.

One lady spoke about adjusting a 'mobile' prosthesis when it moved to the

centre (which they invariably do), how about my most embarrassing experience,

bending over trying on shoes one busy Saturday morning, the shop was packed, and

out it popped on to the floor and infront of a male assistant who looked about 8

years old (but was obviously older) I picked it up held it in my hand and asked

have you any red shoe polish, then bought a jar even though I didn't own any red

shoes.

The other thing I tried rather than a prosthesis was.... think back to the

days of 'Dallas' the TV programme and recall the shoulder pads?They are very

good as soft padding especially if you are only partly uneven, pin in or even

stitch one in.

I have to say I have been lace deprived for just too long but mastectomy bras

generally resemble post war garments. Yes, I definitely agree with the lady who

said the 1950's, something granny wore, (or was it great granny?) I have

recently bought underwired bras because often they are a whole lot more feminine

but I nicked the inside and took out the wire and they fit just as nicely. You

can get the look without the pinching, the squashing or the bruising.

I have been shopping today and seen all the swimwear on sale and its bitterly

cold here today in England (it's mid winter) but those tankini tops look very

supporting and reasonably priced too.

Just some ideas, LOL Velvet (UK)
