particular physical limitation^ and activities.
Handicapped persons might have garments custom
designed or they might h/ave ready-to-wear garments
altered. Two other ideas a-e altering commercial home
sewing patterns or adapting garments in the existing
wardrobe.
In studying special needs, hemember there is no limit to
the imagination when usefulness and attractiveness is at
stake.
Adapted clothing can provide for joint limitations, it can fit
over braces or other appliances, it can lessen skin friction or
pressure, and it can simply be reinforced for extra strain or
wear.
Back-wrap garments are i<leal easy-on, easy-off fashions
with no front gapping. They are right in step with today’s
fashion trends and they are particularly good for persons
who use wheelchairs.
Persons who depend on crutches for mobility soon learn
they need garments that feature extra room and strength
under the arm. Sometimes this means simply reinforcing the
underarm area of clothing. For added room, however, a
gusset (an insert) is one answer.
Also, raglan sleeves are good. Two-piece garments are
another good choice, and so are garments with loose or
elasticized waistlines. Also, three-quarter length sleeves and
short sleeves allow more flexibility.
Since closeures often present problems to handicapped
persons, it’s helpful to strive for fashions that are easy to
fasten.
These fashion features help: front closures on garments,
extra-long zippers, zippers that have attractive “pulls” or
“tabs” attached to the regular “pull”. Also, instead of
buttons, use pressure-grip tape as an easy fastener.
If buttons are a “Must”,
them.
