The Silver Post-Surgery Bra has been the go-to choice for many women after breast surgery and is ideal for the weeks immediately following a procedure. With anti-bacterial, thermo-regulating X-STATIC silver fibre, this bra is available in dual cup sizing to make fitting even easier.
“I always recommend the Silver Post Surgery bra to women who’ve just had surgery.”
Helen, 52
Our first organic cotton bra and ultra-comfortable, Eden is front-fastening for easy dressing and removal and comes with cotton lining (pockets to hold a prosthesis) as standard.
We aim to have at least 20% of our full range made from organic or recycled fabrics by 2025.

The Blossom bra from Royce is a great option for the second stage of recuperation. This innovative design means it can be worn as a plunge bra or crop top, and can be adjusted to fit up to three cup sizes. The smooth cotton lining can also hold a prosthesis if required.
Most women feel ready to move to a more conventional bra after approximately 6-8 weeks following surgery. It will still need to be wirefree but you’ll have a little more freedom to choose a style that you prefer.
Joely is the modernised version of a Royce classic, Jasmine. The super soft non-padded fabric, teamed with beautiful lace makes this bra ultra-comfy and pretty too.
“Royce bras don’t make me feel sore at the end of the day so that’s good.”
This modern shape comes in a bold zigzag lace design with a detachable modesty panel for extra coverage if required. The cotton lining can hold a prosthesis (matching briefs also available).
“There’s a certain power in wearing nice underwear and I’m not talking about for other people” – Helen, 52
We love to hear what you think of our bras – it informs everything we do! Here are some of the lovely things other women have said about our bras after dealing with breast surgery…
“I wish I had found your shop earlier – in fact, if this bra had not fitted, I was going to have a second mastectomy, simply because I have not been able to find a bra that fits in five years! I am comfortable for the first time since my initial surgery and will be informing my breast care team that there ARE options for the larger busted ladies post mastectomy.” (Anon)
“The sense of calm and comfort from Royce’s Silver Post-Surgery bra was a huge relief. I still felt a large amount of discomfort when wearing other bras but this felt completely different and so comfortable. The fabric is gorgeous, breathable and, most of all, it is so comfortable to wear. I feel confident in it!” (Michelle)
“Royce was the answer to my prayers – they are comfortable to wear, are pretty and helped me come to terms with the loss of my breast. The service I received was excellent. Thank you!” (Pauline)
Royce have a wide variety of comfortable, practical and beautiful post-surgery bras. And don’t forget that you can request pockets (to hold a prosthesis) to be added to any of the bras in our ‘Comfort’ range.
