As someone who had a single / unilateral mastectomy with ongoing reconstruction I was trying to figure out how to feel comfortable with my new body, and I only had one old chemise that would sort of do the trick. When I googled "mastectomy nightgown" of course Google did not understand what I was seeking and showed me some really unattractive stuff. Somehow I found this and I am so grateful! It is so beautiful and helps me to feel like myself. Also, it is the same price as the chemise without the opening for an insert, and really the same in every other way, so if there is a color available here that you like better, this one will work just fine even if the insert is not applicable to you. I also bought a modal chemise and a full bust chemise, and the full bust is actually the best fit for me, overall - and the modal is just beautiful - so I wish these also had an insert option. But with the stretchy fabric and bust support those can also work for me in my situation and I am keeping all three.
