hi andor & bigleg

not quite the same, but i've been having long conversations with the local orthotics dept about the made to measure corsets i need (not exactly lacy, & laced up at the back wouldn't be that useful!)

at the moment i'm still in post-op ones that zip up the front but i have paid carers come in every day to help me do them up, & i can't afford to pay someone to do that for the rest of my life

so we're thinking of a whole line of velcro tabs, with a zip over the top of that - if they make one just with velcro, it'll pop open every time i breathe in or eat cake!

& jobst reckon they can get that made, apparently

no idea yet if it'll work, but i don't see why the same couldn't be done with a stocking so you haven't got the full extra bulk

hope that makes sense
