msg for DEBS1 re bras from another thread! Hi Debs. After a long and frustrating search for pretty, non wired bras I have found my perfect solution. Triumph Amourette 300 N (N standing for non wired). They are available from most large high street stores (Debenhams, John Lewis etc) also on-line. They are not overly expensive, about the £22 mark -cheaper than my pre op bras! They are available in black, white, pink and cream and most importantly they are are really comfortable. I too had a skin sparing mastectomy (left side) using Lat. Dorsi and implant (02.02.06). I also had the "disadvantage of being a 32F. I can get into a 34E in these bras. None of the manufacterers are standard in sizing! All the breast! Dawn

for Debs No worries Deb! Hope you get on with them as well as I have. I still keep trying to get back in to my pre-op Freyas! The longest I can wear them is about 2 hours then off it comes wherever I am! Not a pretty site! If you have a job getting them in the High Street I can give you the name of the internet stores I got my pink and black ones from.
