This is a great idea! From the company website:
Our Inspiration
Creating a clothing line for people with Down syndrome has been an overwhelming task but a true labor of love. My inspiration has been granddaughter who was born with Down syndrome. As I watch her grow, I see the challenges her mother faces in finding clothes that fit her appropriately.
Our Journey
My journey began when she was four years old. One day while visiting my daughter, she planted the idea in my head to start a clothing line for people with Down syndrome. At first I laughed at the thought, after all what did I know about clothing? How could I possibly do something like this, I was already running my husband’s busy medical practice, and couldn’t imagine fitting one more thing into my day.
I spent hours online looking for clothes that would fit my granddaughter, surely there must be someone doing this already. But my search came up empty. The wheels were in motion and I couldn’t get the thought out of my head. At first I thought that I could purchase clothes and alter them, but it didn’t take long to realize that this was not the solution. Attempting to alter existing clothes did not solve the clothing problems of a person with Down syndrome. The need for actually creating a special line of clothing seemed like the only answer.

WTF???
I’ve seen better fashions at Kmart
They get their own clothes? That’s so not fair, What makes THEM so special. Oh, wait, nevermind.
It’s almost given that there will be ignorant, hateful, insensitive, cruel, ugly comments on any posting that absolutely does not deserve any of it.
with all due respect, but this clothing makes them look even more ummm…. well you know.
With all do respect, but your post makes you sound really um….well you know. Ignorant.
so do regular people get a special discount?
with a stupid question like that you are definetly NOT someone who would qualify for a discount. You already have a discounted brain!!
Serious question, why do people with down syndrome need their own clothing line (beside the proceeds going to a foundation)? Are their bodies built differently?
