Sew loops or tabs of ribbon or seam binding inside clothes to help with pulling them on or off. Adapt a brassiere by sewing up the back closure, cutting the front open, and attaching Velcro strips. To keep a shirt or blouse tucked in, sew rubber strips to the inside of your skirt or slacks waistband. Slacks can be fitted with side zippers in the legs to make pulling them on or off easier. Zippers in the inside seam may accommodate a cast or brace.
Zippers are faster and easier still, and simplest of all are Velcro strips.
Some other tips Wheelchair users should avoid long ties or scarves, full-length coats, wide pant legs or floppy sleeves, which can catch in wheel spokes or pick up dirt from the tires. Wrap-around skirts are particularly fast and easy to put on, and allow women in wheelchairs extra movement. Choose a shawl rather than a sweater for extra warmth. If you use crutches, a top with too much roominess can cause bunching or binding under the arms. On the other hand, tight shirts or blouses restrict arm and shoulder movement, leading to balance problems and split seams.
