Hello All
Im shortly to have an abdominal operation with a recovery period of 6-8 weeks. For quite a bit of it I am going to need some clothes that are loose and don’t go against my scar ( which will be lower abdomen - slightly higher than a c section say).
I was thinking of getting a couple of dresses - as it’s summer and down south ideally looking for at least one that is cotton but not jersey. Obviously first week can wear nighties but I’m a single parent so am having to get someone in to help with childcare, plus from my experience of a similar op it makes me feel a bit better to get dressed after the first week.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m guessing empire or trapeze type would be best - I’m 5’2 though and although relatively busty have a petite frame so never really buy these kind of dresses as I just looked swamped in the material. Can’t be high necked.
I appreciate it probably sounds a bit ridiculous worrying about what I will look like - I’m kind of a bit depressed as this op is necessary because the previous op wasn’t carried out properly and I’m really dreading the isolation of the recovery period again ( I have no family help so it’s just me). I think I’m fixating on what to wear as a distraction! Will also hopefully be able to do some short walks and I know it will make me feel better if I look vaguely ok!
On that note I’m a summer colouring so generally avoid black. As mentioned quite narrow so ideally not loads of material can’t decide whether just to go cheap or try and find two nice things that I could maybe wear after ( perhaps even on beach holidays).
any suggestions of where to look much appreciated!
