Well, it might seem daft, but my mum can't manage zips and hooks and eyes and other odd fasteners any more. I am really looking for some pull-on skirts that don't need arthritic hands to cope with. She might manage a decent-sized button, but that is about it.
Next problem, she is not at all modern in her style of clothes, she is still back in the 1960s, knee length skirts (and she is only about 4ft 10ins now), so Marks and Sparks 24 inch are too long, and I have to turn them up. I can manage that providing the material isn't stretchy, or easily frayed. She is probably size 10 maximum.
Does anyone know of any supplier that has a good selection of pull-on skirts, short length, that might do for my mum? She is not at all fashion conscious, I just need to get her a couple more skirts. A-line is probably best. She would love a pleated skirt, but I wouldn't know how to shorten it. There is a local dressmaker but she needs 6 months notice, and my mum needs new skirts NOW.
I have tried Marks and Sparks, and have indeed ordered two skirts, but I will need to shorten them for mum to be happy.
Hope someone can help.
