What are people saying about Soft?

Soft sent me a pair of their soft classic chinos and a sensory tee to review. Um, Soft - can you please make clothing for adults?! I love the feel of your clothing! SOFT is an understatement! These feel heavenly.

I have a four year old daughter with tactile defensiveness. We had daily morning rages, with her tearing off of every piece of
clothing offered, and melt downs each day over getting dressed. She
would tear off her clothes screaming she was itching and scratch her
skin until she was red all over, all the while crying as if she were
being tortured. Somehow, we had to get her dressed for preschool, and
wresting her into even her least annoying clothing was awful. It left
the whole family exhausted, exasperated and miserable before 8am. I
would feel rattled the whole day long for having lived through the
tantrum, and miserable as a mother that each day started off so hard.
My other kids, without these issues, just sat and watched in stunned
silence, and got very little parental attention in the mornings as all
hands were needed just to dress the 4 year old.
Thank goodness for your efforts to make clothing for all kids. My
daughter received her first shirts, dress and cardigan three days ago,
and has worn some combination each day since. She cheerfully puts them
on herself. She loves that the clothes are called SOFT and were made
"with her in mind".
She says she loves that the collar of her dress is smooth satin, that
there are no "lumps", nothing "itchy" and nothing tight. She likes that
the dress is sleveless so that when she puts on her cardigan "I don't
have to hold the sleeves and they don't make bunchy wrinkles". She also
said to me that she likes her cardigan because it is "a way for a four
year old to joke a grown up". "I can do these snaps and it looks like I
did tiny buttons!". She was excited to wear it to preschool and have
her teacher think she had buttoned it up! I love that the clothes are
fashionable and cute and she looks adorable in them.
Our whole family is so grateful!

We have been trying out the clothes on kids with sensory issues and they love them. One didn’t want to take off the T-shirt and begged to sleep in it and the other put the pants through situps and sitting (when their regular clothes really bother them) and gave them a thumbs up even though they were too big. That girl begged her mom to get some in her size. We are thrilled with this product. Thought you might like to know.Tamara O.--Editor, Chicago Parent

My almost 4 year old daughter has MANY clothing sensitivities and I was thrilled to find your line. She will have her first OT eval this week, but we have been struggling with clothes for years!! When your clothing came, she opened the packages, tried on the clothing and then CHEERED!!!! She said, " Oh my, these are great!!! and said, "THANKS mom!!" she was jumping up and down cheering about the clothes. I have brought many clothing items home where she put them on, took them off immediately saying, "I do not like these clothes, but not Soft... she has loved her dress and cardigan and has tried to wear them everyday!
"I have an 8 year old daughter who has had issues and a difficult time (to say the least) finding clothes that she can wear with comfort ever since she was a baby. Seams on clothes are the biggest problem and discomfort for her. I have tried everything to minimize her discomfort! I have tried clothes from all stores imaginable as well as second hand clothing. I have tried to modify her clothes. I have tried throwing them in the dryer right before wear. She must come with me when I shop for clothes for her so that she can touch and feel the fabric and seams. I consider myself lucky if she finds one item of clothing after an all day shopping trip. The word "clothes" or "shopping" puts her into an anxiety stricken panic (of which I am not far from myself). She has a VERY limited supply of clothing and she has stopped participating in all after school activities that she once enjoyed so much, because she can not conform to wearing the necessary uniforms (swim team and socce r for example).

Hi Jessica...I received the three short sleeved Ts that I bought for my granddaughter who is 6. She immediately loved them when she put them on. She is very comfortable in her Ts and told me they were so soft and she just loved them!!! We live in Nova Scotia and I'm spreading the word for you and your company as I talk to Moms whose children are all in the situation.

My daughter immediately grabbed the shirt and started feeling how soft it was. When I showed her there was no bothersome tag she wanted to put it on right away. I had to actually fight her to take the shirt off that night. She insisted I wash it and have the Soft t-shirt ready for the next morning. She rushed to the dryer in the morning to get her new shirt. She absolutely love the Soft t-shirt. She will wear it without a fight everyday if I would allow her.

I love Soft products! My 7-year-old has PDD, and while his clothing sensitivities are not severe, they do exist, and he loves his Soft t-shirt (the one we have so far!) to the extent that I know it must eliminate some low-level discomfort he can’t even name. We just bought a new Soft tee with a tie printed on it for his school assembly days. He hates assemblies, but at least now, he can wear his comfy Soft shirt and look good!

I appreciate the awareness and sensitivity of this clothing company. Let’s hope the empathy spreads to other sensory complicated areas like turning off all the loud TV screens advertising in supermarkets that make for a over-stimulating experience for my sensitive child.
