Try: #replace or simply cover up the bra hooks with strips of velcro allowing the Care recipient (cr) to fasten her bra without the reach or finger dexterity usually needed use a thimble and a heavy needle while sewing as the velcro and bra fabric will be difficult to push a needle through #velcro strips may be useful replacements for bras that fasten in front as well for those fastening in back they may replace latching as well as hook and eye closures #if using velcro is also too difficult for a woman try permanently sewing the bra closure shut so the cr uses an over-the-head method of putting on her bra just as she would a pull-over shirt the pull-over method may not work well for women who can’t raise their arms or who are very well-endowed

Materials: Velcro strips thimble heavy needle strong thread
