Truthfully I had more than my share of this —I learned that scarves where great but then there were other things too–I went to one of those stores where you can buy tops and bras and bathing suits with pockets for those who haven’t chosen reconstruction. I went there to find a prosthesis that wouldn’t break the budget. I had a great time in that store, bought some great tank tops and a cute bra–it was the second of two stores I tried. The first one, well the woman couldn’t have been ruder,all I could think is “no one comes in here by choice so why are you so mean?” The second one was manned by a survivor and she was terrific. Positive and funny and willing to help!
Bra shopping and bathing suit shopping is always a challenge but when you are reminded of what you used to look like it’s the pits. You need kindness you need humor and you need support.
Today I will post things that will help and cover and I will try to make them PINK!
Bathing suits–man-o-man do I want to design these! We have some needs–we need slight padding so that if you have a bit of un-eveness you can hide it and I need fuller coverage.
The suits from landsend.com are the same as their regular ones but they have pockets, a bit of padding and are cut a bit higher under the arm pits. If you buy a tankini you have a choice of bottoms so you can be as brief as you would like.
The other suit I really liked this summer is sunsets bandeau underwire–so cute -lots of colors and patterns and has this gathered twist in the front along with a touch of padding so —Inequity is covered!
Cowl Necks—The draping is a huge help—It glosses over wonderfully.
