Fashion - Adapting to Chronic Illness and Disability

Clothes need to work for you and feel comfortable. Our needs change when we become ill and disabled, so our clothes need to change with us. Let's talk about dressing for comfort and fashion with things like heat intolerance, compression stockings, and wheelchair use.

This is so incredibly useful - thank you so much for making this video. I’m really struggling to figure out a new style to fit with my new, worsened level of chronic illness and the new additions of a rollator and manual wheelchair into my life. This helps a lot.

The sox's look great. Good idea on knee pads. I think it's great you wear lovely dresses.

Your style is very similar to mine. I loved every piece you showed. Your tips were very helpful. Thank you.

You did a great job summing up your (modified) style post chronic illness! I found it really inspiring. I'm always looking to see how other disabled people marry fashion and flares in the real world. Sometimes I just run dry, and its incredibly helpful to see other people fighting for these "little" things.
