Now I only wear t-shirts, pull on shoes (),after sticking the mascara brush in my eye this morning, am I going to have to let Clay put my makeup 💄 on me. I will look like a successful clown 🤡. My granddaughter has been able to apply my makeup for years. I looked gorgeous and 😃 smiled. Well maybe it 🤔 was a little overdone but we were very pleased. It looked great on me so there! Many Blessings and Love throughout your life, JudyTx 🌹

There are a few companies marketing clothing designed for PD, including one for mens shirts that replaces traditional buttons with magnetic ones. Personally, this remains one of the hardest things with my mother - looking good and feeling confident keeps her wanting to be social and go outside. I don't have to tell you how quickly one's capabilities slide once you stop using them... I wish the clothes at these companies was better designed, better fabrics and more flattering. I ended up making a lot of clothes or altering existing ones. I'll put a business out soon! You can also certainly take your favorite clothes to a tailor or dry cleaner. If you describe the issues to them, they should have suggestions and be able to alter them for you!

MarkJohnson2,
My hub has difficulty putting on his coat, can't seem to lift it up enough so I help him out. He only wears pullover types of clothes, no shirts and he prob would have trouble with the buttons. So he keeps it simple. Slip on pants (joggers mainly and that's about it.) No dressing up for him. Hope you had a good day today. Take care, BFN! 🤗😊
