Independent Living Institute introduces: Fashion Freaks – Your Dressing Room on the Web.
 
Fashion Freaks (FF) is about fashion, clothing and vanity from a seated perspective. We who use wheelchairs know how hard it is to find good looking clothes that fit. Skirts are too short at the back. Pants are too tight in the crotch. The jacket travels forward with every move until the shoulder pads form extra boobs. FF says "It is not funny", but it is not as complicated as you think to sew yourself. And when you have your “own” pattern you can create any combination or variation of clothing you want.
 
With your “own” pattern you can ask a seamstress to sew that special garment for that special occasion – maybe a two-piece suit for graduation. Or find the tailor who makes motorcycle clothes and order that leather jacket everyone will envy.
 
Fashion Freaks is about clothing for wheelchair users. On our website you will find patterns for downloading, simple sewing instructions, tips and other useful stuff. Here you will find everything you need to fix a wardrobe after your personal taste.
