Nicola Dames, 37, from Glasgow, is the owner of Vanilla Blush – a shop that specialises in lingerie for people with ostomy bags.
The shop, which aims to create fashionable yet discreet underwear to help people with ostomy bags to feel sexy and confident, was opened after Nicola underwent surgery for an ostomy herself.
Nicola, who has suffered with ulcerative colitis herself, had dreamed of making women in a similar situation as she was feel beautiful again ever since having her own colon removed in 2006.
