My daughter Kathy is 40 and mentally handicapped. She has a syndrome in which one of the symptoms is extreme heaviness in the arms and legs. The rest of her body is fairly normal, certainly nowhere near obese. My wife is going crazy trying to keep her in clothes that look nice and spends hours trying to alter off the rack pants and shirts. My off topic question is -- Are there tailors who specialize in making clothes from scratch for people with unusual shapes?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hello
I think you must be a wonderful dad and husband to care so much that you have posted about this. God Bless you, Sir.
My suggestion would be that you look under "seamtress" in the yellow pages.
Or ask at a dry cleaners if they know of some good tailors or seamtresses. Most have contacts that they use for repairs.
Another thought... many highschools have sewing classes. Perhaps the teacher there works on the side or even has students talented enough to alter patterns. I am friends with two Home Ec teachers and I know both would have gladly taken on such a project with students.
Friend, if we met in real life, I would buy you flowers for being such a caring person.
Best wishes
