This is a special edition of my Annika Wireless Bra, designed with a mastectomy pocket and flat cup options for those who have had a breast removed.
Combine beauty and comfort with the Annika Wireless Bra. Annika is a supportive, full-coverage bra designed for low-stretch fabrics. With multiple style options for cups, bridges and bands, you can mix-and-match a new bra wardrobe. A vertical seam and inner cup dart provide the opportunity to create the perfect cup fit.
Style options include scalloped lace edges at the neckline, bridge, and back band; full foam cups, quilted foam outer cups, butterfly lace overlay, partial-cup lace overlay, lace-up illusion bridge, and front hook and eye closure. Designed with comfort in mind, Annika has seams that are enclosed or covered with channeling. Optional boning at the cradle/cup seam can add more stability.
Mastectomy pocket option: Pocket opening with overlapped edges, similar to a pillow sham. Pocket extends from the bridge to the side seam to assure that all shapes of breast prostheses can be accommodated.
Flat cup option: Princess seam cup shape that fits flat against the chest for those who do not wish to use a prosthesis. Pattern includes lace overlay options to match the full-cup shaping styles.
