If this looks good, then there's no reason for these clothes not to be used by all. I understand the marketing imperative. But that imperative leaves a whole lot of people behind.
Spicy but not too Flamey@ppatel I'm not so sure; if such clothes became popular enough to hit the main stream, wouldn't that make people who needed the clothes harder to distinguish from those who didn't?
It seems that it would make both groups less conscious of their dissimilarities, fostering further acceptance.
I could be wide of the mark here, but it seems like a decent effort and worth supporting.

Firehorseart Lives!Many accessibility adaptations have already become mainstream, such as automatic doors. These help a wide variety of people who aren't considered disabled but who have access needs, such as people with prams or trolleys.
That tends to cement their usefulness for stores, as they get more footfall and more customers mean more income. It's a win-win.
Allison Meloy@ppatel Yeah, I mean I don’t have disabilities requiring any of these adaptations, but if the clothes look good, I could see myself using them just for convenience.
