About JSAW Mastectomy Designs

any 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 wh

had mastectom

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.

y associates

and I

are designers and seamstresses

, and not certified mastectomy fitters.

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

phone, by

, 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.
