A Textile Survey
Even though we’re all wheelchair-users, our needs regarding clothes still vary person to person. I know that for me, since I’m 5’10 with really long legs, and I sit all day, I need extra-long inseams on all of my pants, but not every other gimp is like me… I also need: – A long torso in my shirts so they don’t ride up, exposing my belly. – Non-bell/flowy sleeves. – Skirts that aren’t above the knee. – No long jackets; they just bunch-up behind my back. – Fabric that moves and no bulky seams. – No itchy fabric like wool.
