Following is from the American Cancer Society's A Breast Cancer JourneyYour Personal Guidebook From The Experts At The American Cancer Society, Atlanta, American Cancer Society, 2001.

 If you like your bra or you don't want to make full pockets for a prosthesis, make a half cross that prevents the prosthesis from moving or falling out of your bra. 

Buy about half a yard of inch-wide washable satin ribbon. 

Turn the bra upside down on a flat surface with your prosthesis inside. 

Position the ribbon over the prosthesis with one end halfway between the middle of the cup and the place where the cup joins the strap. 

Cut and sew or pin both ends of the ribbon into the inside of the bra.
