    I have had a prosthesis for twenty years now and I use ones from a qualified fitter. It matches the weight of my real one and frankly, I hardly ever think about it anymore. I just keep it in my bra when I am not wearing it and drape it over the chair by the arms. It did take a few times to get the right bras and prosthesis.

    My latest haute couture. The crystal strands drape over my mastectomy site. Designing for an asymmetrical body brings in some interesting opportunities for using diagonal curves.

    That's beautiful Miriandra!

    I have a few of these Lululemon scarves & it will come in handy now to cover one side when I go bra free.
