I found this great site, and it is run by two ladies, one of which is a lingerie designer and the other has had breast cancer. Young lady too.

They have a great shop, and mail order, wide range of styles and sizes, also holistic therapy too.

Give them a look, and see what you think, they are so friendly and helpful. Their sizes are good too. especially small back and large cup, and vice versa.

let me know if you look at the site what you think?

Royce Lingerie are good too, I do trial wear for their ranges, and have been good at taking feedback on board and adjusting accordingly.

I think a lot of companies are trying to help, but we still seem to come under the Specialist ranges, and that is where the price is effective. It is like Petite, although they use less material in length etc, they add it onto the price, because it is a named brand… Rubbish, it is just a marketing ploy for the women who need Petite ranges to fit better.

Have you tried web sites, Betty and Belle and Woman-zone they both do 36E ranges and I think have show rooms but are in the North West.You can download their brochure and order by mail. hope this helps.

I did put Betty and Belle web details but Moderator removed it, sorry.

I was impressed with their ranges of garments and helpfulness. Please look at it.

Afterall, we need to be able to find suitable lingerie and swimwear for wearing with prosthesis, and after any breast surgery, and when one company cannot help us then we need to look for others that are able to.

Puppydog, how did you get involved in trialling bras?

I’ve worn Royce for the past three years whilst pregnant & breastfeeding, and as a 34J I think I’ll need their help post-op too!

Thanks. Rebecca
