Mastectomy Swimsuits

February 28, 2019

Our newest tankini top is named after one of our long-time customers, Harper, who I am proud to now call a friend. When I saw on Instagram that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, I was crushed. Even if I had never met her, I always loved seeing her posts wearing the swimsuits and clothing I’ve designed over the years. I saw that she was going through chemo and, having gone through the experience with my mom and knowing how much discomfort it brings, I decided to send Harper one of our soft cover-ups along with a note that I was praying for her. She wrote me a thank you message and asked if any of our swimsuits would work for someone who had a mastectomy. I was so sad to admit that none of them would work without being slightly modified. I had two swimsuits left in our SS2019 collection to design and decided to make them both prosthetic-friendly with higher necklines and name one of them after Harper. Most of the mastectomy swimsuits I’ve seen are for older women, but young ladies like Harper deserve to feel beautiful in a swimsuit, too. I know my mom would be proud ❤️

Both Harper and Bette work with or without prosthetics. Harper looks super cute paired with the high waist boy shorts or regular high waist bottoms. Bette can be paired with a skirt for more coverage.

Absolutely beautiful

This is a gorgeous bathing suit. Very well made and I am so happy to find a beautiful swimsuit with full coverage. I am in my 50s and this is perfect!

Great quality

I absolutely love how soft this bathing suit is. It’s both modest and cute.
The size I got was too big but the customer service was so prompt in answering questions. Great company.

So pretty

The print is gorgeous. Bought an XS for my daughter who is between kid sizes and adult sizes. Maybe a 00 or kids 14/16. It's a little big, but not much. The adjustable straps make it work for anyone. Love these swimsuit cuts!

Modest. Wonderful Quality

It’s difficult to find girls’ suits with full coverage on the bottom. Thank you! Fits well if you go off other sizes your daughter wears…a 6/7 fits my 4-5 year old daughter perfectly. High quality fabric as well.
