hello! I am the founder of a new swimwear brand which is offers inclusive beautiful swimwear to women who have undergone breast surgery. I am looking for someone to do a fitting session with me and the (female) designer, in London on 19 June. I am looking for a lady who has undergone a single or bi-lateral mastectomy without reconstruction and who is a size 8, 10 or 12. I’d be happy to offer a swimsuit or donation to charity in return for your time. Many thanks. Mary

Hi, I may be able to help depending on location/time to be there. I’m size 8, flat on right side.
Laura
lovely to hear your plans for helping those with mastectomy however why stop at size 12 what about us plus size ladies ???
I found my own way as I love swimming on holiday and ended up using the M&S foam prothesis inside swimwear (ASDA post surgery swimsuits are great go up to 22 ) and leaving them to dry with the costume.
Also not everyone is flat some of us have bumpy puckering which is not often talked about you see all these adverts with nice neat flat scars unfortunately not my experience
good luck with your business

Hello Laura. I am fitting at 9.30 am at my home, just near Chiswick mainline railway station. Would be wonderful if you could help! Let me know. With thanks in advance. Mary [mod note: phone number redacted for privacy reasons]
Hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I hear you re puckering /asymmetry. It’s not talked about or taken into consideration at all and I am designing with that in mind (cuts which cover the side boob area/soft moulded cups to even out asymmetry and pockets for those who want them). I am going up bigger than 12 but the samples which I need to fit are 8, 10/small 12 and I need to try on someone who is using a prosthesis.
With my very best wishes
Mary

Hello. I am flat on right side and size 10. I have struggled to get a really nice swimsuit and would love to hear more about your products. I cannot get to London on 19th unfortunately. Do you have an online presence?
Hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to get back to me. Might you be willing to do a zoom call? Not for fitting but I’d love to hear about your experience with swimwear, what you are looking for and to get your feedback. I could show you a few pieces.
Website is www.emerje-swim.com I will have product shots up on it over the next few weeks

Hi, I don’t know what size is 8…I’m S size, double mastectomy…
Hello again. Please just let me know if you want to chat. I have struggled so much to find swimwear, and I know a lot of ladies who also have.
It would be great to have a chat if you are free.
