Comparative of clothing comfort: A PhD thesis worth to read:
Functional Clothing Layers
Functional Clothing Layers
We recommend using 3 Layers model for wearing functional clothes: 
- First-Base-Layer is the most important. It transports moisture from skin to external layers so the body remains dry.
- Second-Mid-Layer is designed to be used on top of the base layer garment. The Second-Layer insulates the warmth and will continue the moist transportation from the base layer to the Third-Layer.
- Third-Layer transmits air, protects from wind and external dampness.
Comfort dresses for elderly people
"Southern Comfort Wear features regular and adaptive clothes in a variety of sizes and styles. Snap back and back wrap dresses, regular or open back gowns, and pant sets in both men & ladies. Whether you purchase for a resident in a long term care, assisted living or memory care environment or at home, we have the designs that make easy-on and easy-off fashionable."....Comfort dresses for elderly people
Dressing with Ease, Style and Comfort for patients
Dressing with Ease, Style and Comfort
"Dressing and undressing are often challenging task among people with limited mobility. While buttons and zippers are frustrating for some folks, others may find reaching arms through armholes of putting legs through leg holes tedious chores. Besides the obstacles people face for dressing independently, it is not always easy for their assistants. Wearing accessible clothes and selecting attire to meet individual needs will make dressing easier, sparing unnecessary aggravation and fatigue" .....

Abstract
"Fabrics are often subject to repeated creasing and bending deformations, such as elbow movements, and the resilience of crease recovery is an important property that affects fabric’s serviceability. In this research, nine types of woven fabrics were examined on an automated crease recovery tester repetitively to investigate the crease recovery behaviors, and possible factors affecting the creasing resilience. Each specimen was pressed and its recovery process was recorded by sequential images, which allowed the recovery angle to be calculated in real-time. This process was repeated 30 times for the same specimen. The parameters, such as initial angular velocity, instant recovery time and angle, stable recovery time and angle, were extracted from the recovery curve of each cycle, and calculate the differences between different cycles to characterize the changes of crease recovery in repeated tests. The experimental results show that the more the circulating test conducts, the earlier the instant and stable recovery time appear. The stable recovery angles decrease rapidly in the first few cycles, fall more slowly when the testing cycle increases, and finally become stable at a cycle near the 25th cycle. Cotton fabrics take fewer cycles to reach steady than wool fabrics. The high elasticity of polyester fibers affects the resilience remarkably."
