<p>I fell on the ice and broke both bones in my right wrist (dominant hand). Cast is above elbow with elbow at 90 degree angle. I need to wear semi-professional clothes to work. I have stretchy elastic waist pants I can get on by myself (from a leg injury), but am stumped on tops. None of my cardigans want to go over the bend in the cast.</p>
<p>Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Could you use something like a pashmina or large lightweight wrap? You could add a decorative pin on the shoulder if you have anything like that.</p>
<p>Buy some shirts in bigger size, use a belt or something to gather the extra material in the back so it fits over the cast, or short sleeves and a cardigan buttoned at the neck wrapped over your shoulders.</p>
<p>T shirts, or sleeveless tops, with short sleeved cardigans. Here is a selection:</p>

<p>I feel for you, as you obviously live where it is cold, and need to stay warm. Good wool scarf or shawl to add a layer?</p>
<p>Dolman sleeves.</p>
<p>Dolman sleeved cardigans over a short sleeved sweater or shirt or shell.</p>
<p>Dolman sleeved light weight sweaters.</p>
<p>These are all over the place, and on big markdowns right now.</p>
<p>If you’re up for buying something new, I remembered seeing this sweater poncho in the latest Coldwater Creek catalog: [Coldwater</a> Creek](<a href=“http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/62763/69488/shimmer-sweater-poncho.aspx?colorid=K14&refLink=misses-sweaters.aspx]Coldwater”>http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/62763/69488/shimmer-sweater-poncho.aspx?colorid=K14&refLink=misses-sweaters.aspx) . Or these shorter sleeve tops with wide opening sleeves: [Coldwater</a> Creek](<a href=“http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/63735/70557/silk-cotton-kimono-sweater.aspx?colorid=H67&refLink=misses-sweaters.aspx;]Coldwater”>http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/63735/70557/silk-cotton-kimono-sweater.aspx?colorid=H67&refLink=misses-sweaters.aspx;) [Coldwater</a> Creek](<a href=“http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/62676/69401/hint-of-glimmer-sweater.aspx?colorid=H10&refLink=misses-sweaters.aspx]Coldwater”>http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/62676/69401/hint-of-glimmer-sweater.aspx?colorid=H10&refLink=misses-sweaters.aspx)</p>
<p>I am writing this on my computer…with my left hand guiding the mouse. I learned to do this when I broke my shoulder. (Let me say first I am sorry for the pain that you are having.) I used for layering my husband’s t shirts. His size and brand new. If it hurts to get into the shirt make a cut on the underarm of the shirt. I purchased Joie soft shirts. They have lots of room. And while not inexpensive one of two should get you through.</p>
<p>Thanks all. I should be able to make some of these ideas work. I appreciate the input!</p>
<p>Dolman sleeves that are open at the bottom are often called “flutter sleeve.” Check out “flutter sleeve sweater” on shopstyle, polyvore, pinterest etc. or search on a store website. </p>
<p>Hope your recovery is speedy!</p>
