The start of Autumn is always a busy time for me as it is Breast Cancer Awareness month. So, Flat Friends takes priority in October…and then I have run out of words for social media by November! But now we are ready to get going with our Autumn/Winter blog, and member of the Flat Friends private Facebook group are always ready with amazing items to share!
This time a year is ‘Posh Frock time’ as Jenny would say! Jenny found this stunning dress for a bargain price at a local independent dress shop. Jenny has had a single mastectomy and this dress with gathered velvet fabric across the bust evens out any asymmetry between a real breast and a prosthesis. The diamante panel creates the illusion of a plunge neckline, and the gathers at the base of the neckline will hang well over the tummy area – always important if there is a big festive spread at your event!
From evening wear to gig wear! Sally Anne is the Queen of Gigs and rocked this stunning Zara dress. Sally Anne says, “It’s a great length, has pockets, and a great bold pattern. It also has no darts.”
And here’s Sally Anne in her Nina Simone t-shirt for Radio 6 Music’s recent ‘T-shirt Day’. You may recognise Sally Anne if you’ve been watching the current series ‘Mary Berry Love to Cook’ – the Queen of Gigging met the Queen of Baking at the Homebaked community bakery!
Naomi styled this animal print dress from Tu at Sainsbury’s with a fitted Fat Face denim jacket – it perfectly creates the illusion of an hourglass shape. Naomi says, “For the first time since covid and cancer I went out out! Cocktails and dinner in Brighton with friends and my new dress and jacket got their first proper outing.”
Kerry cleverly spotted this top as a great fit for a uniboober – before she had even had her mastectomy! Kerry says, “Really pleased with this top I bought from Romans not long before my surgery. Picture is with no bra or softie – I don’t think anyone would notice. I’m 11 days post single mastectomy on my left side.”
Bold patterns are always a great choice. I love this Paul Smith dress Emma found in TK Maxx.
If you are as clever as Maria with a sewing machine then maybe you could have a go at making your own clothes!
Maria says, “This is a great pattern – no darts and doesn;t take too long to make. It’s the Southbank sweater drees. I don’t think it’s obvious I have no foobs in!”
I haven’t bought many clothes this year (last year’s Outflat fundraiser made me vow to buy less for 12 months!) But I couldn’t resist this jumper by New Look in my local charity shop. It’s a couple of sizes larger than I wear so has a lovely slouch fit, it’s also super soft and has the perfect depth v-neck for my flat chest.
If you’re heading off for some well-earned winter sun you can’t go wrong with this gorgeous swimsuit from Cupshe. This one is modelled by a uniboober with no prosthesis in.
As always, HUGE thanks to the members of the Flat Friends private Facebook group for their fab contributions!
