Notes

"My First Bra - Not the prettiest of items of clothing but very practical. At the time, 3 years ago, not a necessity for support But helped me to feel the person I knew I was. Having fought against those ‘Just a Phase’ comments for so long became such a relief when I could dress and behave as the person I knew inside was prepared to be in the outside world. I am ME and could not be happier xxx"
