Oh yesssss!!! I have been known to stand and hold forth on that very subject in the middle of John Lewis's lingerie department, at playground clearing volume in my best officer's daughter manner! Usually the store help agree totally with everything I'm saying.
You get some of the best and most informative conversations like that! :)
nope.. it's an international conspiracy!

You can learn. I took 3 years of home ec and hardly learned a thing. Then when I started taking one pattern and making the same garment 3-4 times (to learn from my mistakes), I started learning.

The unofficial quote I have right now from him is $6000, another was $8000 from a respected surgeon. At this time I am 44DD+.
Too bad the insurance review boards are not made up of women who understand this type of thing.

Good luck Ginger!!! hope you do well with your surgery.
