Last, but most certainly not least, is the only specialty women's undergarment store in Pittsburgh that carries bras and girdles, but also post-mastectomy items, accessories for nursing mothers and wigs for patients currently undergoing radiation treatment. The bra selection at Smart Form is most impressive - the company carries bras in bands that range from 30-56" and cups AA-N. Management also works with most major insurances, which have recently begun covering wigs and other cancer-aiding accessories, and also assists individuals who do not have any medical coverage. Family owned and operated in Pittsburgh for the last 60 years, this unique boutique schedules fitting appointments Tuesdays through Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Call to set up your own visit or check out Smart Form's website for further details and a full list of products.
