Hi Sheila: That is wonderful news! I know how it feels to have a bra you feel comfortable with! I just got a new one fitted-as I am bilateral mastectomies and I love it. Wear it all day until I go to bed. I have inserts that I put in the frig. for 30 minutes and they velcro to the prot. sounds awful but they cool the chest wall where with the prot. creates heat. They have been out for a while but it took me going to a different lady just to see what was new! Am I glad I did! Always, pays to check things out to see what is new out there. I ended up with two size prot. because of having a simple and a mod. radical mastectomies. A larger one for the MRM to fill in the missing muscle etc. This girl had her rep. come in to fit me because of my chest wall lymphedema. Did a great job. My insurance paid for two and I purchased two online which were lots cheaper! I always try to compliment when I get good service and it pays off even if its a nice thank you for the info. Enjoy your shopping at Victoria Secrets. It is always nice when we can save money!!hugs, Sandy
