NEW YORK WOMAN CREATES BRAILLE CLOTHING

NEW YORK WOMAN CREATES BRAILLE CLOTHING



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Running your hands against a woman’s chest is a real no-no most of the time – but not if the gal is wearing a T-shirt made by New York designer Denise Lasprogata. You see, Denise’s shirts are designed for the visually impaired and feature words printed in Braille. Some of the sayings on the $35 shirts include “Angel,” “Sassy” and “Babe.” There’s also a Braille tag on the inside which identifies the shirt’s color and gives washing instructions. Lasprogata – who once worked as a personal shopper for blind women – is also designing a line of sundresses which use the same Braille tags to help the visually impaired match their clothing. You can check out the fashions at Deedeedot.com.
