DRESSING EASIER Rules for seniors



How to make dressing easier for seniors:
Choose washable fabrics.
Choose fabric that easily expands and stretches for ease of dressing, yet retains its shape.
Select lightweight and light-colored clothing for hot days.
Purchase zip-front dresses for women with long, front zip fastenings that help with hand dexterity.
Look for pants, skirts, blouses and shirts with fabric fasteners or easy-touch closures.
Choose clothing with larger openings that enable seniors to put the garment over their head in a seated position or step into the garment with minimal struggle.
Choose half-open back fashions for limited mobility.
Select no-waist garments with detachable belts for comfort.
Purchase loose-fitting garments with a fuller gathering for comfort.
