From mastectomy wares specialist to fashion boutique. Decades ago, Marianne Weidemann saw a need.

In the 1980s, Ottawa women who had undergone partial or full mastectomies and needed prosthetics had to buy them from their local pharmacy. There was no fitting process or personal touch to this intimate and deeply personal undertaking—just an order form.

Marianne changed that. In 1986, she opened a boutique to provide not only breast prostheses and the specialized lingerie to fit them, but also a caring and supportive setting for her customers. Marianne's swiftly gained a reputation for knowledgeable, attentive service and remarkable dedication to excellence in her products and her sales process. In the early days, Marianne would often take apart bras and re-sew them herself to create a custom fit.

New vision, new business

Over more than 25 years, Marianne's has grown to become Ottawa's largest lingerie boutique. Though our namesake has retired, owner (and long-time staffer) Sue Furlong-Ieradi proudly continues Marianne's tradition of exceptional service and deep commitment to mastectomy clients.
