One of the ways people choose to express their personality is the way they dress. Abby and Brittany are no exception, but their circumstances require them to discuss and agree on a style when out and about.
Abby and Brittany’s shirts had to be specially made to have wider necks and shoulders. To show off their independence, these twins will often find ways to style themselves a little differently. Occasionally, they will wear separate styles of wide-leg pants and at least different shoes on each foot.
