David Lindsay
Restricted Movement Clothing Collection
“What makes these clothes so special, they don’t look any different?” A question often asked and one I love to hear! says Sally Aydon registered nurse, owner and designer of David Lindsay clothing range.
The range has been designed to suit people with restricted movement. The garments have been designed to look like regular clothes with adaptations to make it easier for those dressing themselves, without changing the overall look. And for those needing to be dressed by others the clothes go on simply and look great.
The range is available in daywear, nightwear and under garments for both men and women.
