In 2006, Stephanie Thomas spotted a trendy trench coat
for dogs at a Target in Virginia Beach – but noticed that there were far fewer
options for people with disabilities.
"That irritated me a little bit," she tells
PEOPLE. "There's only one store in America that sells clothes specifically
for disabled people, but they are the biggest minority in the country."
Thomas, 46, has devoted over 20 years of her life to
making the process of finding disability-friendly clothing a little bit easier.
The Los Angeles-based "disability fashion stylist" carefully chooses
clothes, shoes and accessories to be featured on her website, cur8able, in
hopes of "curing fashion woes," says.
Thomas' congenital disabilities on her right hand and
feet were what initially drew her attention to the major lack of fashionable
options available to and appropriate for people with disabilities.
