Re: [The Ileostomy Group] ostomy fashion tips needed...

Wow Sue, can you see her pouch when she wears the bikini top?  Because of where
Ally`s sits... above her pant line... it is the top part, not the inthe pants
part that is an issue.... so the board shorts would not do her any good at
all...  Sue

Em is coming out of the closet in some ways..... her fashion find for this swim
season is an adorable bikini (yes you read that correctly) with matching board
shorts and t - her theory is that a larger size shirt comes down far enough and
she can still empty her bag easily because it is all two pieces..... wild woman
at 14, don't you think...
