    oh, no. so when you have a limb that’s difficult to dress you do it first on last off so that you can use your better / more dexterous limb during the most tangly / fiddly part. So you would take your head and arms out such that it’s just hanging off the wings, then bring the hole up and over the tops and down off the flight feathers. Am nurse, this is how you dress someone who’s had a stroke, just replacing the weak half with the wings.

      Yeah what if I’m an Aarakocra? Asking for a friend. I’m definitely not a large humanoid bird trapped in a sweater.

        well id assume your in the same vein as the archangel? If i get the answer ill let ya know.

        Right now, as someone with no wings whatsoever, cloak or cape type is what i imagine would be best. Maybe something akin to a tube top that closes instead of sliding over the top… clasps or buttons…

        Also scissors would take care of that sweater, not that its a thing but if it was.

    For bigger wings, I think the best option is those little snap buttons (or regular buttons, but theyre more difficult). Theyre pretty secure, you dont have to line it up like velcro, zero risk of sliding down like a zipper. Also easy to do behind your back

    Edit: I also forgot to mention the dreaded pinching that can occour with zippers. If the thin bits of a feather get trapped in there its over for you
