Interviewing Skills with Beth Henderson, Human Resources Consultant offered through Women‘s Employment Designed to be "soft, sexy and secure," the bras are crafted of soft, patterned jacquard cotton, and feature a stretch lace insert between the cups. A fine mesh pocket in each cup holds the prosthesis firmly in place. She has recently begun carrying the "Still Me" bra, developed and marâ€" keted by Warner‘s, a wellâ€"known Canadian undergarment manufacturer. The bra was designed in response to requests by prosthesis wearers who could find nothing on the market that was pretty and lacy, while meeting their fitting needs. More than sixty Canadian women participated in the test phase of its development. Fran Steiner, proprietor of The Gwendolyn Shop, a downtown linâ€" gerie specialty store, is happy to be able to provide her prosthesisâ€"wearing customers with a comfortable solution. In addition to special fitting probâ€" lems created by a change in body shape, a mastectomy survivor is likely to have superâ€"sensitive irritable skin, caused by chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Shopping for bras can be an annoyâ€" ing, inefficient experience for many people, but consider the added chalâ€" lenges of a woman who has underâ€" gone one or two mastectomies.

The bras also feature a tiny pink and black ribbon between the cupsâ€"a teardropâ€"shaped symbol honoring surâ€" vivors and victims of breast cancer. "I called the manufacturer, and they told me to fit them just like other bras. We‘ve had a number of women buy them from us in the past couple of months, and they say they‘re the more comfortable bras they‘ve ever worn," recalls Steiner. "Other mastectomy bras that I‘ve seen are hard and stiff. Women want to wear soft and pretty things." Although the 56â€"yearâ€"old business is a specialty store, and staff are trained to take accurate measurements and quickly identify the products suitâ€" able for the individual‘s shape and size, ‘Gwendolyn‘s‘ had never offered mastectomy bras.
