Breast Cancer / Mastectomy Adaptive Clothing
Timeless by Heather Hill has developed stylish adaptive clothing to make dressing easier, no matter your age, mobility or disability. After a mastectomy, finding stylish clothing which is comfortable and easy to wear is no longer a challenge, thanks to Timeless by Heather Hill.
Adaptive elements of our clothing relevant to women who have had a mastectomy include:
- garments with no buttons or zips, such as our wrap around dresses, and our Trixie Dress which can be stepped into/out of, don't require you to lift you arms. Minimal movement is required to dress = less pain.
- bamboo fabrics which are very comfortable, soft and stretchy. Their high wick content keeps you cool in summer ensures any perspiration is absorbed quickly with minimal or no odour.
- tops, nighties and brunch dresses with petal back closures have easy to secure hidden snap studs on each shoulder, allowing for easy dressing. In the early days post surgery, the garments with petal back closures simply slip over your arms, without requiring you to lift them above your head. The petal back gives you maximum movement and easy to check dressings, without the garment sticking to you. Perfect for those with limited movement.
