I was diagnosed with gigantomastia is 2021. I started seeing rapid growth as far back as 2018. But gaps in insurance coverage, chronic health problems and lack of employment has made seeking treatment difficult. I'm currently looking into just paying out of pocket and saying fuck it to debt and credit. I've been experiencing mobility issues for about 4 or 5 years now and idk where to start looking or what questions to ask. I want to go into this prepared

I had another idea to possibly save money but idk if it's stupid or not. Is it possible to buy a pattern somewhere or even have AI make one and take it to a professional who actually knows how to sew. Idk if this is a dumb idea but it was just a thought

Throw away for obvious reasons.

I ordered from EV years ago. At the time, I had more disposable income and I was around an M cup. So I could also special order from places like EM , elomi, and a few others. I didn't love my EV bra but it was the most heavy duty thing I owned.

After I outgrew it I started working with someone in my state who make mastectomy bras. But she's closing her shop and moving to her home country. I've been luck to be able to order from her for the past 5 years but even after I offered to buy from her directly and pay extra she's said she's not going to be doing business in the US at all anymore.

I remember reading someone say EV quality isn't what it used to be (I don't remember where) and my best bet was to find someplace that does custom work (which is how I found my current seller) but like finding a new doctor or mechanic I feel like you never really know if they're any good until you do a little business with them. I'm just not sure where to go next because I'm needing new bras again but unsure where to look. I'm willing to try EV but I'm also worried about if tariffs will be a problem
