19 y/o girl that needs advice and tips on how to present the way she wants with low mobility

i have a dear friend that is disabled, though i am not. i apologize if i am intruding into a space i do not belong, but i want to help her feel more like herself and would like some tips and advice. we are both 19 year old girls, when we were 16 she got into an accident and pretty much can only spend time in her bed and can only get around via wheelchair. she has little to no mobility in her left arm and leg. she unfortunately doesn't have access to the best hygiene unfortunately, so her hair often looks greasy and skin looks oily, you could imagine how that could make a teenage girl feel. i recently went over, helped her shower, cut her hair into the style she used to have and misses, and got her dressed in some clothes i crocheted her. i did her makeup as well. she said she felt the best and most like herself since the accident has happened. i told her i would look into some dry shampoos she could use and apply herself hence the only one hand available. but, what are other things she could use to help with physically appearing the way she wants? what are some cute clothes that are easily able to take on and off? i don't really know how to word what im asking. i just want to help her be able to express herself the way she feels best, so any tips or advice or anything would be appreciated. thank you in advance!

my friend is disabled and i want to make her more useful items. pattern suggestions?

this is my first time posting on reddit so spare me, but i thought it would be a good space to ask this kind of thing. my friend and i are both 19. when we were 16, she got into an accident and now she doesn't have any mobility in her left arm or leg. ever since the accident she hasn't been able to dress or present the way she is most comfortable. recently it was her birthday and i made her a few poncho-like lace crochet tops and a few matching bandannas, as well as a blanket. she has said the first time she wore the clothes and bandana i made her, it was the first time she's felt pretty and like herself since the accident. i want to make her more clothes and wearable items that are easily able to be taken on and off. if anyone could point me in the direction of any other lace tops or ponchos or even tops that don't require much ties, pretty much anything a whimsical 19 girl would enjoy, i would greatly appreciate it. any functional items would also be welcome! thank you in advance!
