Xian @XianForBeauty83
maxi dresses often work for [skirts that often times ride up in a wheelchair]
Emerald @SweetTartBeauty
I usually only wear knee length dresses to avoid the fabric getting caught in the wheels.
Everyday Wear
CP Shoes @CP_Shoes
Try ballet tights with removable feet
Cat Smith @cat_sierra
long tops which don't ride up, but low waisted jeans which don't dig into my stomach, jeggings! (for wheelchair users)
Jessa @spooniefeminist
honestly leggings have become my best friends; they work well w/my braces, they're not too restrictive, & they're comfy
Accessories
Emily #DisabilityBeauty Q&A
A beautiful scarf or jewelry transforms outfits.
Fashionability @InclusiveStyle
Emily likes a structured handbag with removable handle for greater versatility.
