A few years ago I noticed a women with an amazing swimsuit while swimming with my kids. I ask her about it and it turns out she had met a lady who sews swimsuits individually. I had thought of asking her to make me a racing swimsuit for larger women because this is before breast cancer. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could just find a swimsuit with the lightweight foob sewn into the suit or a nice designed flat tank that makes it comfortable and fashionable to not worry about it at all.

What would be wonderful is if we could find a swimsuit designer or seamstress who could alter a swimsuit for you or perhaps sew one. Maybe she could just sew in a lightwieght form with no chance of slipping out. I bet if you found a nice suit you could find a tailor who may be able to do that. The place to start would be to call the local gymnastic shops for kids. Many time they sell handmade local suits that are made of that great lycra material. They might know a seamstress who could modify or make you a suit. Also you could check if there is a local mastectomy shop in your area. I live in a small area and there is a lady here who has been incredibly helpful to me.

I also found a swim form called "trulife activeflow symmetrical triangle swim breast form". I am trying to find one that is hollowed out or that I can remove some beads from as I have reconstruction but it really doesn't look great in a swimsuit.

Here's a wonderful website that I found and used to make my own micro-bead forms. We went on a cruise in December and they held up perfectly in the water and on that beach: http://mastectomysolutions.com/sew-your-own-breast... Here in Canada, microbeads aren't being sold anymore so I went to a thrift store and purchased a pillow that had them.

I also had another bathing suit that I'd put the bath poufs in but didn't like it nearly as much.

I use Amoena Aqua Wave swim forms. They work good and insurance covered them.
