Four years ago
I realised earlier this evening that today was the four year anniversary of me finding out that I had breast cancer. This is the second year in a row that I have almost forgotten about this date. Good eh?
I do get reminded of the shitty illness every now and then though. Now for example I'm working on a costume project, which I have been working on on and off for a long time. It's a very colourful and grand costume from my favourite musical The Phantom of the Opera. At the moment I'm trying to get the bodice to fit. It's a challenge, partly because I'm not used to fitting things on myself. My good friend phantomtailor usually sort that out for me. The biggest challenge however is my wonky breasts. I know phantomtailor that you have always thought that my body is somewhat weird and twisted in shape, but now!!! Now I have two breasts that are completely off from each other. One is round (Miss football), quite perky and sits rather high. The other is Miss Mountain Top which is now a bit baggy after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The difference in height when it comes to the projection of these two body parts is not small. I'd say it is at least five centimeters, maybe more. They are different in height, in size, shape and form. No matter how I try to make the seams fit it doesn't look that great over the bust part. I'm thinking about trying to get a very low cut bra, preferably transparent that could lift my real breast so it gets nearer the fake one in height. Does anyone have any other suggestions when it comes to trying to get your breasts on the same level? I guess a breastlift on the real boob would be the best thing, but failing that...?
Actually I hope Mrs Surgeon will sort out a possible breastlift or something eventually.
This is what I'm making btw: It's supposed to have a big skirt too, but at the moment I'm working mostly on the bodice.
