💜 Behind the Garment: Ellie’s Story
Ellie lives with sialorrhoea, which causes excessive drooling throughout the day. For her parents, finding suitable clothing to keep her dry was an ongoing struggle.
Shop bought bibs are typically designed for babies. They are small, often brightly coloured, and not appropriate for older children. They did not offer the coverage Ellie needed to stay dry at school or during daily activities. The alternative, a waterproof coat, was noisy, uncomfortable, and not something her parents wanted her to wear all day.
At Clothing Solutions, we believe no child should have to compromise comfort or dignity.
We made Ellie bespoke bibs designed specifically for her:
• Small shaped shoulders for a better fit
• A long front to protect her whole torso
• Triple layered fabric with a waterproof layer inside
• Secure ties or poppers at the back
These thoughtful details mean Ellie can stay dry throughout meals, school, and everyday life.
That is why we do what we do.
Behind every garment is a story. Thank you for helping us share Ellie’s. Please share this post to support our mission.
