UGGGHHH. This is so frustrating.  I cannot find a great dress that has an acceptable neck line.

With a double mastectomy and only beautifully thick strapped mastectomy bras and breast forms What's a girl to do?

 SURELY someone has been in this predicament before... where  can you find a fashionable dress that doesn't show cleavage?  or lack thereof!

Thanks, LittleFlower

    I've thought about this, and I would get a drapey blouse/dress and use scarves, if needed, to get a drapey "full" look in the front. Perhaps just drape it loosely around your neck, and pin it with a gorgeous pin. The dress underneath could be as plain as plain could be, but if its a good fabric, with a complementary scarf, you'll be stunning. :)

    For my daughter's wedding I had a long tank style dress with a scoop neck that included  a beautiful long sleeved  beaded crocheted "sweater " or over- blouse to match...It was a copper color and it worked very nicely. I actually felt very comfortable in it.For the bra I wore a regular strapless one and just stuck the prosthesis inside..no problem.The overlay was very concealing though not a total coverup.
