Post mastectomy clothing

Can anyone help me to find easy fitting clothes following my operation?  I went out & bought some lovely comfy bras prior to the op but am so swollen that nothing fits!  Ideally I need zip up camisole/vest type of thing to wear under loose fitting tops but cannot find anything like it, despite trawling the websites.

  • Hi, I had a single mastectomy and lymph nodes removed last week, I'm struggling with clothes, I can only put things on that I can either step into and pull up or shirts that I can button up as I can't lift my right arm up to get it into tops!  I'm wearing my normal bra with a softie but it gets a bit uncortable after a while.  I have a christening to go to on Sunday which I'm determined to go to, I managed to find a dress (Michele Keagan from next) which I can step into and I'm looking forward to going, I need things to look forward to as i love socialising. 

    Sorry I can't provide any links to places but wanted to reply and will keep an eye out to see if anyone else posts to say where you can shop xxx
