JSAW Mastectomy Clothes, Camisoles, Nightgowns

"Thanks so much for the pillow. I sent it to my Mom and she said it was just right. The hospital where she'd had her
mastectomy gave her a small rectangular pillow, but she finds the heart shape fits her much better. And I love that it's in the
shape of a heart. A measure of comfort for my Mom when she's going through difficulty. Thanks again."       Sally

                             "I purchased two pillows from you for a friend of mine who just had a double mastectomy last week. She
                              received the pillows today and called me...in tears. She said they are just perfect and the ideal

thing she needed for under her arms. She had been rolling up towels but they didn't give her the support

and comfort she gets with your pillows. I just wanted to thank you for creating them. It is often the little,

simple things that can make a life so much better.

These pillows will help make her recovery a lot more

comfortable. She is truly grateful to have them." Cheryl (Minnesota, sent to friend in Maine)

                "I am so touched by your evident care for your customers. Just wonder why the UK doesn't do these (breast cancer
              comfort gift packs and underarm pillows)yet -- my breast care nurse hadn't heard of them although my Canadian
              sister recommended them."                                                                                          Chris, UK

5 Months later from Marilyn, TX --     "Hi Lillian! Nice to hear from you. I am still wearing the camisoles--and they
are the only thing I wear! Good thing I have 4 of them! They are so comfortable I can't switch to anything else.
I've only had to mend the strap on one of them and that's because I also sleep in them! They are that
comfortable. I just keep changing, washing, and wearing whether I'm awake or snoozing...Please stay in touch as
you can. I will be ordering more camisoles as these start to wear out."                                         Marilyn, TX


"So anxious to try out my new boobie. Any degree of improvement is welcome and I so appreciate the extent you've gone to in
order to help me. Just to be understood is a comfort. YOU ARE TERRIFIC. You are the first person that actually heard and
cared about my discomfort and I am grateful. "                                                   Debra, Ontario

"Thank you Lillian. I didn't think me emails transmitted. I was so angry and frustrated about my situation that I rather "hit
the wall" that morning. I am usually much calmer. So thank you. Ideas sound great and I've rooting thru old clothing boxes
and found 2 bras that I used to like. I will ship them and also, may I send a nightie ?(that I think could have a pocket sewn in
to hold a breast form because it's empire waisted) So please let me know the cost and how you would like to be paid.
Thanking you again. I've no doubt you completely understand my issues and look forward to comfort."            Debra, Ontario

"Dear Lillian! The white camisole arrived about 1/2 hr ago and I have already unpacked it--looks wonderful! I DO like the
new material swatch that you sent also--I will go online later today and put in an order for one in black--so please use that
new material and my original measurements! WHAT would I do without you?   My daughter tells me to just forget about the
standard mastectomy bras and stay with your camisoles--she says I look just fine in them and since they're so comfortable
should stop trying to wear anything else! So much for another opinion, huh? Have a great day."              Marilyn, TX

"The camisoles you made me are so comfortable. They suited exactly what I was looking for. I spent money looking for
something in the stores to put a pocket into, but found those not comfortable.                    Betty, Manitoba


"(the) camisole ... fits perfectly -- just like the first nightie. I can't believe how many more things I can wear because of that
camisole! Thanks again"                 Mar, PA

                     "Thanks so much! The (mastectomy) night shirt fits perfectly, but I'd have the sleeves a little bigger and
                     the hem a little shorter next time around. This will keep me happy for quite a while though. Thanks for
                    the breast forms, too. What a fabulous Christmas bonus! Your workmanship is excellent, and I'd
                    recommend your garments to anyone I know."                   Carolyn, TN

Dear Lillian,

I am enjoying my nightgown so much

that I would like to order tw

(one in the pri

and another in the white). It fits perfectly so I would like t

use the same

measurements. There are

no other nightgowns on the market that

do what yours does.

I feel whole again when I wear it.

Thank you. Thank you

Mary Ann, PA

The

front opening

breast cancer recovery bra

has just been so wonderful and comfortable

wear following my lumpectomy on "Sally". I can close it without reaching and pulling with a sore

side and it goes over the bandages and tapes very nicely. It gives a certain amount of support,

yet doesn't make me feel "bound". AND IT FITS ME. Two months later, I still love to wear it, and

am looking forward to getting my second one." Da

rlene, Manitoba

"I am just thrilled with the breast forms you sent me. They arrived yesterday, and they are so soft and beautifully made. I
really appreciate your efforts and cannot thank you enough." Nancy, Northwest Territories

"Thank you for noticing the problem with my order, it would have been such a disappointmen

to find just one

(breast form).

I'm so glad I found you on the web. You are

providing

wond

erful

service."

Polly, British Columbia

I'm so glad I heard about you.

Love the nightie

it's so feminine and dainty. The

camisoles are lovely and

the workmanship is excellent."

Louise, Manitoba (former seamstress of graduation and bridal gowns)

"Thank you so much for my gowns, they're beautiful and fit great. I wish you and your business all the best. I hope to keep in
touch, please send me any new catalogue or designs. I'm so grateful I'm not wearing a rag now. I hope those patterns help
you in the future. There's so many of us who want nice things." Dawn, Ohio

I was looking for something cool

to use for my breast forms. I found the foam

light

breast

forms hot and the

regular

breast forms heavy. I wanted something light and

cool. The

light breast

forms

I got from you are so nice

and cool and

comfortable.

They fit nicely into my mastectomy bra

and make me look attractive when I use them.

am so happy I found

you.

Marjorie, Manitoba

I really like and enjoyed the boobie

you made for me. Dries fast and excellent fit.

Comfortable, don't

know you have

it on. Makes me feel good. Work well with my bathing suit

and

sports bra

and mastectomy

night gown

you made for

me. Well done. The sports bra is

great comfortable - I like to put it on after

supper relaxing. Going to get you to make

another

boobie for an extra - nightie and swimsuit. You can

just leave it in. Washes up so nice. I feel

better whe

n I

have it

on."

Dorothy, Manitoba

I want to thank you so much

for sewing those bras for me. They

are so comfortable."

Mary, a senior from Manitoba

"I am thrilled with the nightie and housecoat you produced for me, under what I consider difficult conditions. I love wearing it
and hearing my husband’s appreciative remarks about it. I hope it will work out that we can see each other in person again
and perhaps repeat this recreation. Thanks again." Elsie from Ontario

Meeting Lillian has been a blessing to me

in many ways. One of these is her

company,

J.S.A.W Designs.

Being a B.C. Survivor and having had a

mastectomy -

seems as if

feminine side no longer existed in my wardrobe,

especially with lingerie

and

sundresses.

Lillian opened up that door for me and I am grateful and thrilled.

As my sister

watched

me model some of Lillian's new designs, she teared up and said "Cath,

I've never seen

you wear such darling and daring clothes" Well now I can - and

so can you!

Open up your closet - and dream - then call Lillian."

Cathy, Manitoba

"I am so very, very happy to have found JSAW Designs. My daughter has Poland Anolomy - a birth defect (where one
breast does not develop as fast as the other), and Lillian created an extremely fashionable bra for her. My teen now has
clothes that fit in with other teens."
Sharon, Mother of the teen, Manitoba

To whoever is interested

sewing patterns

drafted and designed by Lillian: I’ve

had

the

opportunity to sew a

few outfits drafted and designed by Lillian. I found them

very

easy to

follow. All

the markings - grain lines, darts,

etc. were on the patterns the

same

as on the

commercial ones. One

of the patterns was for a gal with a quite

irregular

body shape. It came

together well with minor

adjustments."

Susan Enns, Brandon, Manitoba, Seamstress

"I would like to help promote J.S.A.W. Mastectomy Designs. I searched very hard to

find

someone who

designed gowns.

The company I had bought from for twelve years

went out of

business and I have to wear

a mastectomy gown.

Lillian

has done such a

wonderful job

making and designing me very

beautiful

gowns.

I wish her and her

new company all the

best."

Dawn from

Ohio

"I've wanted to be able to transfer ideas to material

I can very seldom find what

I want

and

would fit my form.

Lillian helped me to simplify and understand

what I

need to

do to

achieve the final product. She has patience and an ease with people."

Monique, Manitoba

I am so fortunate to have found the website and you

. I truly appreciate

everything you

have

done for

me and I know

many others as word gets out and more

women know about

your

products. Thanks also

for your kindness.

I feel like I

made a

new friend

. I just told the

story

about finding you and the breast

forms to a friend last

night."
