Dressing Everybody
Dressing EveryBody combines two great passions: a love for clothing design and a desire to help others. Like the rest of us, people who are physically challenged have a need for clothing that is functional, as well as fashionable. This thesis studies how clothing is put on and taken off the body and specifically focuses on the needs of people with limited hand dexterity, upper body limitations and the lower-body clothing issues of wheelchair users.
