From using a wheelchair or living with paralysis, any number of situations can inhibit your shopping experience when you're not typically able-bodied.
RTÉ’s Two newest six-part programme delves into the stories of people who wouldn’t typically be included in today’s fashion world.
Presented by Paddy Smyth, a Disability activist, the six-part programme will feature eighteen makeover candidates whose lives present a range of situations from blindness and obesity to down syndrome and dwarfism.
Last night viewers reacted to the first episode with a rollercoaster of emotions.
