About JSAW Mastectomy Designs
Many years of experience as a nurse, a keen interest and experience in
solving clothes fitting problems, doing sewing alterations for people, and
production sewing for a Manitoba company have given me an unusually
broad base of experience with which to design and sew clothes that are
mastectomy sensitive and fit a wide range of body shapes and body sizes.
The sewing alterations brought me into contact with ladies who had mastectomy surgery.
They asked for help with adapting clothes for the physical changes they faced.
Through problem solving, research, and learning the ins and outs of garments and sewing
pattern drafting, I have put together techniques and formulas that work with all body types
and sizes....not just the average perfect body measurements, and with mastectomy
challenges.
My associates and I are designers and seamstresses, and not certified mastectomy fitters.
We recommend that you get your mastectomy fitting done by a certified mastectomy fitter in
your area, and then pass on the correct sizing of your mastectomy bra to us so we can make
your mastectomy clothes to those bra measurements. We are, however, in the Manitoba
Cancer Care data base as a resource for mastectomy clothes.
If you have any questions about mastectomies and clothes, or questions about
things on this website, or ideas that might help others in the area of clothes, please
contact us. We’d love to hear from you by phone, by email, or by letter. If you are from
Manitoba or visiting Manitoba, we’d love to have coffee with you and chat. Give us a call to
set up a time for us to meet.
Have a great day.
