Notes

The Inspiration:
Hello my name is Puvithel, I have been a fashion designer since 2015.In 2019, my chronic pain issues suddenly and rapidly got worse. I had difficulty walking, needed help getting in and out of bed, and had debilitating flare ups that would immobilize me for days or weeks. I found that I could no longer wear the majority of my wardrobe, even daily wear like jeans could cause pain. I was devastated.In the fall of 2020 I had a successful surgery and finally got an official diagnosis for endometriosis. The surgery in combination with physical therapy reduced my pain by 90%. But I still avoided my old outfits out of fear of an unexpected flare up.I began thinking of ways to redesign the clothing staples I could no longer wear so that I could wear my old outfits again. I came across a post by @ambie.doll where she showcased an A-line tie on petticoat she had made for herself. After talking with her, I spent some time designing a cupcake version with some additional accessibility features and worked with a manufacturer to eventually get to the samples you see here.
