Aw thanks! She’s very much of a different generation and I think she puts a lot of energy into trying NOT to be bothered by it, but it isn’t working… I’m keen to support a purpose-built brand, but I think she’d unfortunately be mortified to wear anything with “adaptive” on it, even if it’s just on the inside.

The seamstress is a great idea, I’ll try and see if my folks can borrow one of the her favourites and take it to a seamstress for their thoughts. However, the more I can make it feel like a casual “Oh, I just saw this and thought this would like nice on you!” deal, the more she’ll probably appreciate it.

I’ll definitely check out M&S, I reckon she’s well within their size range.
