Hi TinaFrutig, I look for tops with a v-neck and buttons. I can usually get them on without undoing buttons. Or just undo 2-3 buttons at the top.

Buttons can be a problem but zippers on coats in the winter are pretty difficult. Velcro strips are a God send.

I bought a button helper it has a metal loop on the end and a nice plastic handle. You put it through the button hole and then use the metal loop to pull the button through. It works pretty well. I found it on Amazon.
Blessings,

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member great idea Velcro shirt. The reason they don't manufacture them is that you and one or two others are the only people who would buy them.
I would be anxious that my stomach would split it open in public ☺️

Buttons are an invention by Satan to cause Parkies more discouragement and pain. Why do they not manufacture shirts with Velcro? I would buy them.

Keep on keeping on.
