More Details
Cut two strong pieces of tape about 1" wide and the length of the opening. Cut two pieces of hook and loop the required length. Sew the tape to each side of the front opening, then sew the rough piece of hook and loop on top (facing outwards) on top of the tape on the half of the bra that fits the paralysed side of the body. Sew the soft side of the hook and loop to the underside of the other tape (facing inward). Secure a piece of bias binding / tape about 8" long in a loop fashion to the bottom edge of the bra half that fits the paralysed side of the body.

Always wash with the hook and loop fastener sealed.

TO PUT ON
Slip the bra over the paralysed arm first, then over the non affected arm - like putting on a cardigan.

Slip the thumb of the paralysed hand through the loop and rest the hand over the stomach to hold the bra in position. Then press the hook and loop strips together.
