Does anyone know of any outlets that sell clothes that have breast pockets built into them or sell clothes that look nice on flat-chested women?  Plus size is needed.

Many thanks

  • Hi, I have had a double mastectomy. I’m not sure about clothes outlets, but there is a charitable organisation called ‘Flat Friends’. Their website gives loads of ideas and tips for dressing, and in particular, ways of distracting the eye from the chest area. For me personally, those tips work, with several people (who didn’t know me when I had surgery) saying that they had no idea that I’d had a double mastectomy - they had never noticed anything.

  • Hi Cloudier, thank you for your reply. You would think that this might be a business opportunity for someone. On the other hand, most people have reconstructions now. I wasn't given the option BMI and Covid combined to prevent this for me. Now I am happy as I am but apart from silk scarves haven't mastered the art of disguise. x
