Finding clothing for someone with a disability tends to be difficult specifically when looking for something that looks good but also comfortable/appropriate. So in your experience, what alterations do/would you make to form the perfect clothing?

-
Coat to warm in winter cool in summer
-
Easy to wear trousers/jeggings & longer tops
But not in polyester or nylon
More natural fabric & viscous mixs
And definitely not old fashion styles
Being disabled doesn't mean your old or no fashioned sence! -
Shoes!!
I have ulcers. And my legs/feet swell.
Most shoes/slippers are instruments of torcher -
Bra's nitemare when you only have the use of one arm .
