Minda's look was inspired by her athleticism. The neoprene jacket is created to be shorter in the front and longer in the back for a sedentary body.
Yesenia is a busy quadriplegic who needs clothing that is easy to put on and off. The neoprene pants are created with a magnet closure in the back which snaps together easily. The collar is removable giving her an easy day to evening look.
Hilda has always wanted a dress to wear that fit her comfortably. This gown was created in an L-shape with a side zipper, made for a person who is sitting down.
