RETAIL/LEISURE : Easy-to-Don Clothes Specialty of New JC Penney Outlet
Compiled by Chris Woodyard / Times staff writer
JC Penney is opening a store today in the Huntington Center that will cater to people who have trouble getting dressed.
Easy Dressing Fashions, the first of its kind in the Penney chain, will offer fashionable clothes with Velcro fasteners easily used by people with arthritis and others with limited movement.
The store was developed as a result of successful catalogue sales of the items first introduced in 1984. The clothes have extra-large armholes, elastic waists and no back zippers or buttons, so they can be put on or taken off with minimum difficulty, the Dallas-based company says.
