Edge o’ Beyond launches Mastectomy bra

British luxury lingerie brand, Edge o’ Beyond has added a Mastectomy bra
to its collection as part of its aim to “provide luxury for every
woman”.

The ‘Karis’ mastectomy bra is crafted in the UK using the finest silks
and French Chantilly leavers lace, for “unparalleled sensuality,” stated
the lingerie brand, and features black silk bottom cups with illusion top
cups in a beautiful bronze silk to mimic a plunge style bra, finished with
delicate, French Leavers lace.

The bra has been designed to offer fuller coverage to enclose all breast
tissue and to ensure that the bra is entirely functional, it includes
pockets with 3 different openings, which will enable wearers to fit
different sized prosthesis’s into it. In addition, it has soft jersey inner
liner that extends over the side seam to eliminate potential discomfort or
irritation to scarring.

The lingerie also features Edge o’ Beyond’s signature golden o’s, gold
plated rings that are hand sewn into each piece to allow wearers to attach
jewellery.

Commenting on the new launch, Edge o’ Beyond founder Naomi De Haan said
in a statement: “We spoke to lots of lovely ladies who had had mastectomies
in order to learn more about their lingerie needs; we learned that there
seemed to be a collective frustration at the lack of contemporary, luxury
and more design orientated options. Having a mastectomy, they told us,
doesn’t change your taste for lace or mean you want to stop wearing the
lingerie you love.

“It was the same case with my Aunty, who sadly had a mastectomy two
years ago. She was given a catalogue by the nurses at the hospital, but the
bras on offer seemed so unimaginative and clinical. I wanted to create
something beautiful that she would love to wear, that would also be
comfortable for her.”

The Paris Mastectomy bra retails for 125 pounds.
