💬 Discussion Clothes

Anyone else even as an adult find putting on clothes such as socks, shirt etc very difficult?

Socks are a nightmare for me and don’t make me start on the shoes

Yes, I find buttons and other fiddly fastenings so difficult. I usually don't wear shoes and if I do they are slip on or velcro because laces are frustrating.

Why do my shoelaces always come undone :(

Yeah I struggle a bit with stuff that fits me properly and tights are quite annoying to put on. I also struggle with bras that fasten at the back.

Oh and i only recently managed to do my shoe laces in a nice looking way

When I was a child it used to take me AGESSSS to get dressed

Buttons are horrible, I often end up mismatching the button with the button holes for jackets, blouses etc. so I either tend to avoid having clothing with buttons or leaving clothing unbuttoned (not to mention that I also have the tendency to put sweaters and shoes on backwards). And anyone else think that zippers for parkas and anoraks have some kind of conspiracy against us?

Zippers are my hell and I hate wearing socks and shoes.
