Anyone discovered a pretty bralette for larger slightl missing chest?
Hi,
Has anyone found a pretty bralette for larger sizes. Im 16+.
Im a bit tired of sports bra. Not ready for prosthetics so those bras are out. Ive sometimes resorted to the utilitarian do up front mastectomy bra. Meh. I can sometimes get away with a pretty camisole but one side of my chest swing about a bit. Not ideal for social occassions.
I bought a bonds one which is ok. Where are the pretty ones? A walk in Bras and Things is pretty pointless. Where are the mastectomy bras in there? Call themselves a bra specialist....
Ok so this is not the most pressing problem. Still

- Thanks @Locksley. I just downloaded a sewing pattern, maybe ill fiddle around to try and sew a soft bra. Im having trouble with the band around the bottom with normal style bras, they ride up painfully. Id like something in a colour other than brown too.
I bought a lacy comfort bra from bigw which looks a bit hideous but who knows.
Some bras are quite expensive so if they hurt youve done your dough. - Hi Michelle Geneovieve is the lady I got my prosesthis and beige bra from. She had some pretty bras. I got a plain camisole from her as well.
- Hi @June1952 ,
There are some nice camisoles around but as you say no support in them. Maybe i'll attempt to sew a cup in one side.
I just have 1 boob i havent given up living yet! Why shouldnt i have pretty underwear?
M - I am with you @MicheleR. I too have resorted to the 'do up front but no shape things' as the local bra fitting specialist shop just won't get any stock in (think she is nearing retirement) ! I have hunted high and low for a pretty camisole to use with my prosthesis but they are not around that I can find. I am about to try the internet but sizes can vary soooooo much ..... Let us know if you find anything.
