At Royce, we never forget that thousands of women are dealing with new or existing breast cancer at any one time. Thatās why weāre really proud to be collaborating with Future Dreams again, to help women during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and beyond.
Future Dreams
Future Dreams is a charity dedicated to raising funds for awareness and research into breast cancer, and to support women through their breast cancer journey. Royce first teamed up with the charity during lockdown ā a difficult time for us all, but particularly hard for those dealing with major illnesses such as breast cancer. Thousands of women who have had breast surgery or treatment in the past four months have been given a Future Dreams care package, some of which included a specialist post-surgery bra from the Royce Lingerie range.

After having a mastectomy, lumpectomy, reconstruction, reduction or augmentation it is vital to find a comfortable, well-fitted bra ā not just to aid healing of the surgery site, but to provide a trusted source of physical comfort and help restore self-esteem. At Royce weāve been designing post-surgery bras, training and advising fitters, for almost 30 years. If you are about to have breast or chest surgery, spending ten minutes on selecting the right underwear will serve you well for the weeks to come. Here are our top tips:
Get Fitted
Get fittedĀ ā Itās important to get professionally fitted prior to the surgery. However, if an in-person fitting isnāt possible, you can fit yourself at home using Royceās online guide. We recommend going up a band size to allow for swelling.
Fit Guide
Go Wirefree
A wirefree bra will offer greater comfort immediately after surgery, it will also put less pressure on the delicate chest area.
Post-surgery bras
Choose details for comfort
You should be looking for a secure full coverage shape with a deep centre and underarm edges to avoid irritating the surgery site. Front-fastening bras will also make putting on or removing your bra much easier.
