See what's possible

  • One sleeve adaptation

    For upper limb difference

    Adapted
    One sleeve re-drafted to finish short with a clean turned hem, with the cuff and placket removed from that side so there's nothing extra to fasten.

  • Seated fit trousers

    Adjusted for comfort in a wheelchair

    Adapted
    A higher back rise to prevent waistband gaping, a shorter front to reduce bunching at the lap, and leg length adjusted for a seated position.

  • Easy access closure

    Alternative fastening for easier dressing

    Adapted
    Small buttons replaced with a concealed magnetic closure behind the original placket, with an easy-grip pull tab for simpler one-handed dressing.

  • Prosthetic access

    Additional room and discreet functional openings

    Adapted
    The sleeve re-drafted with extra room around the prosthesis and a discreet opening, making it easier to put on and remove without straining the garment.

  • Stoma access

    Discreet access for an ostomy appliance

    Adapted
    A discreet access opening added at the required position, allowing the stoma appliance to be reached without removing or significantly lifting the garment.

  • Easy-on top

    For limited shoulder or arm mobility

    Adapted
    The opening enlarged and repositioned so the garment requires less arm and shoulder movement to put on, while keeping the original shape and appearance where possible.

  • Prosthetic leg access

    Easier dressing and access around a prosthesis

    Adapted
    One trouser leg re-drafted with additional room and a discreet side opening, allowing the garment to pass comfortably over the prosthesis and provide access when needed.

  • Sensory-friendly adaptation

    Reduced bulk and irritation against the skin

    Adapted
    Bulky seams and internal details reduced or repositioned, with irritating construction elements removed where possible for a smoother feel against the skin.

  • Free

    All adaptations are completely free.

  • Private

    We only ask for what we need. Your information is kept private.

  • No sewing jargon needed

    Explain what you need in your own words.

  • Human reviewed

    Every request is reviewed by our team before we adapt.
