Lymphedema - compression garments

Hello
I'm 15 months post DMX and lymph node clearance on one side - no chemo or radiation. I'm doing very well and amongst other stuff, I'm working hard on my lymph system, which is in a bit of a mess! Trying to mitigate the risks of lymphedema.
I wear compression stockings daily, and am wanting to get a compression top - long sleeves - like a long sleeved cami with pockets for the prostheses. I'm trying to avoid wearing the sleeves - I'd rather be in a full top, especially for the winter. The complication is that it needs to be plus sized :-)
Does anyone know where I can find something like this? I've spent ages searching and can't find anything that meets all my needs / wants and I'm hoping that someone has already found one.
Many thanks!
