Adaptive adult clothing and footwear in all sizes and designs are becoming increasingly available for people with disabilities.
Customized apparel shopping for both disabled men and women is no longer the difficult, frustrating task it used to be.

Retail and wholesale companies worldwide now offer mail-order catalog and online selections to seniors and disabled people who must shop from home. Detailed fittings, free alterations, same-day shipping, and purchases made with credit cards or through online banking are also readily available for the extremely discriminating shopper.

Customized adult apparel for those in wheelchairs and walkers, who are paraplegic or quadriplegic, who have difficulty walking or dressing, or suffer from other motion restrictions is now available in many mix and match wardrobe selections. And most items can be customized for personal needs and are suitable for all occasions (from casual wear to evening or occasional wear).

Moreover, both seniors and disabled persons should be delighted to know that items like men's and women's two piece sets, suits, robes and dresses, as well as blouses, shirts, slacks, skirts, muu muus, sweaters, slacks and pants outfits, dusters, caps, push gloves, rainwear and exercise garments are now available at made-to-order prices in apparel designed by many leading brand-name manufacturers.

For those mentioned above as well as for amputees, blind and hearing- impaired, and victims of polio and other crippling diseases, an endless array of adaptive wear is obtainable in slip-over and wrap-around designs and comes in a choice of zippers, Velcro, extra-large snap-on’s or with large buttons. One online company, Creative Designs, manufactures two products especially designed for the physically challenged and wheelchair users: the Change-A-Robe and the Handi-Robe,
both which allow the user to dress without having to stand up.
