How do you sew an adaptive dress for one-handed or seated dressing?

('Why an adaptive wrap dress', 'Standard patterns rarely account for limited mobility, one-handed use, or seated dressing. This pattern swaps hidden zips and complex ties for hook-and-loop side closures, keeping the wrap-dress silhouette intact.')

('Materials', "A soft, drapey woven or knit fabric works best. You'll need 2-3 yards depending on size, plus hook-and-loop tape for the closures.")

('Construction overview', 'The bodice and skirt panels sew together the same way as a standard wrap dress. The difference is entirely in the closure: hook-and-loop strips replace the usual tie or zipper, so the dress can be put on and adjusted with one hand.')

Key Takeaways

• Sizes XS-3X included
• Hook-and-loop closures, no zips or complex ties
• Designed for one-handed and seated dressing
