Fiona and Bernice have both had breast surgery and the issues they faced when trying to find lingerie led them to open their own shop, together with their friend Cath.  Lingerie Illusions now sells a wide range of post-mastectomy wear, both from its retail store in the West Midlands and online.  The success of the business led to the friends becoming central regional finalists in the Barclays Trading Places Awards 2008.
