Guide Review - Lands End Women's Mastectomy Hi Neck Slender Mastectomy Swimsuit
Along the side seams, the fabric on the front panel is shirred to fit and flatter any figure snugly. Around the back, there's a good amount of fabric for your bottom. The leg holes are not too high but are cut at a modest 2-inch leg height to make your legs appear longer. The swimsuit fabric is very durable and soft (made of 69% nylon and 31% Lycra spandex, with a tricot overlay) and provides UPF 50 sun protection for your skin. I wish that these suits were machine-washable but must admit that my first Lands End mastectomy swimsuit (6 years old) has been hand-washed, and it still looks and feels good. Even at the price of $82.50 for a regular torso or $92.50 for a plus size, these suits are a good value and will give several years of enjoyment and comfort.
