Mastectomy Bra Class

Mastectomy Bra Class

If you or someone you care about has had a mastectomy and bra-making appeals to you, come to this class where you will be making a bra with a built-in pocket. You will also learn how to make a prosthesis for full or partial removal of the breast. Making a pocket bra is not difficult once you know the tricks we use to make this bra appear as "normal" as possible. You need to have taken a bra-making course so you are familiar with the basic construction.

Pattern will be drafted in the class for each student.

Please call 905-538-1396 to register for this class.

The course has both classroom training, sewing lessons specific to bra-making and client work, under close personal supervision. Industry construction methods are taught but we encourage you to bring your own machine. All classes are held Monday to Friday and are limited to 8 students. Applicants must have excellent sewing skills and an understanding of pattern drafting. All materials used during the course are included. Machines are available to rent for out-of-town students. Students will be given a list of places to lodge. A $500 deposit is required to reserve your place - no exceptions.
