Post surgery services

It’s come to my attention, that there is a SERIOUS lack of thought, consideration & mindfulness when it comes to post surgery bras.

A friend of mine whom wishes to remain anonymous, has battled & kicked cancers arse! She has been an absolute warrior, and has had a mastectomy.

As if, this entire process wasn’t traumatic enough - there is little to none options for post surgery bras suitable immediately post op, and for when a prosthetic can be used, for women who wear larger than a D cup.

Not only that, the post surgery bras are very lack lustre.

My immediate reaction to the catalogues provided to women who are having to look for their new bras, was “who the f*ck designed these catalogs?!”

Clearly, not one model photographed in them had had a mastectomy - so why are they being used?

What purpose does it serve anyone to use women that haven’t had to use these bras themselves?

So, In this frustration for once again there being very little to offer women, my post surgery service has come into creation

This is a fully customisable service, to anyone who wants help pre or post surgery.

I can:

🎀 add pockets into suitable bras & swimwear (as seen in photos below - this bra was not a post surgery bra, it has been altered to fit a prosthetic or softie)

🎀 add clasps or zips to the front of existing bras for front opening

🎀 completely create you a post surgery bra

🎀 make ‘modesty’ panels if you want to have extra coverage on clothing

🎀 alter dresses & tops.

🎀 make you some post surgery pillows for underarm  

I will only charge for the materials used, and my time - 10% of which will be donated to Cancer research U.K.
