I purchased the brown gownie with multi-colored flowers. It was sooo adorable that all the nurses and both my Doctors all gave me compliments. The gown also made me feel really special and pretty for the birth of my little one not to mention that my pictures look really cute! The gown is sturdy (much sturdier than the typical hospital gown) and has snap buttons in the back and also on the side which is great for nursing. very comfortable. I will save my gownie to use with baby number 3 set to arrive a few years down the road!

While this gown is cute, I soon discovered it was not the most practical. Becuase the shoulders don't have snaps all the way down, it doesn't work for when you have an IV. You can feed the IV through the sleeve, but this is a bit cumbersome. I would disagree with this gown as having full medical access so you might want to consider that before purchasing.

I purchased this for my daughter, I was stumped as to what to buy for her as her delivery approached. I had bought a belly band from this company before (which was a hit) and although I had never imagined taking your own delivery gown to the hospital, I thought it was a novel idea. She really liked it and wore it when my beautiful granddaughter was born - she looked wonderful too and received so many compliments and queries as to where she got it. It turned out to be a great gift, Baby Be Mine, my 2nd purchase and a very contented customer! Thank you. A new Grandma!

It never occurred to me to take my own gown to the hospital, but when I started natural childbirth classes, they mentioned wearing your own clothes at the hospital might make it feel more comfortable and me more relaxed. So I looked online and found this, read the reviews, registered for it, and my mom got it for me. I was SO satisfied with it. The only thing is it is $40 on something I wore a couple of days in the hospital and then went in a box, but I've lent it to a friend and if I have another baby it will definitely come out again. Also I did not wear it after the hospital because it is very much a hospital gown and I liked my nursing pj's better for at home. It doesn't even compare with regular hospital gowns. It's made for a childbirth stay so it's very roomy, so you don't end up wearing two gowns or trying to keep a gown together. For childbirth I wore a strapless swimsuit cover and then threw it away because it had every bodily fluid imaginable on it, so I definitely wouldn't wear this nice thing to give birth, but as soon as I got to my room I took a shower and put this on and it was wonderful. So comfortable, so not hospital-like, so modest and just an all-around great idea. I agree it could be the perfect shower gift.

I am so happy that I tried this gown before spending the extra $20 on the colors I thought I liked better. The colors are much brighter and more cheerful in person than in the pictures. I am very happy with this gownie. I haven't worn it yet, but I did wash it and the colors didn't fade like some said. I will feel much more feminine in this gown than in the ones the hospital provides. Plus, I don't have to worry about flashing any in-laws and having an awkward, gross moment. My only complaint is the last snap on the back is around butt-level and might still give some opportunity for unwanted flashes, but that would take a perfect angle. Oh- and I got the L/XL because I am a 36DD. It's big everywhere but the chest, but I'm glad I got that size to make sure there's plenty of room there. I suggest it for larger chests.

I couldn't decide on this or a [...] hospital gown which got so much press. I went with this one. I received it and the fabric is soooooo much better than regular or other 'designer' gowns. It hasn't been used yet, but it feels very soft. The print is GREAT too. (I bought the paisley.)

i bought this product with price in mind. i bought the brown gownie with white spots. $29 was a great price compared to other hospital gowns. when i recieved it it fit perfectly, nice length, not to heavy or bothersom. it had a strong smell to it and after washing it the smell hasnt gone away. also dissapointed that the white spots were painted on and not just a fabric patern.

I'm 34 weeks and I just received my "Gownie" in the mail. I ordered the "Nicole" print, which the picture represents accurately in color. The fabric is good quality!

I'm 5'5 and my pre-pregnancy weight was 120; my weight now is 145. I am a 34D. I ordered a small and the shoulders fit perfectly (if you are broad-shouldered I would order a M). The rest of the gown is very loose and has lots of room to spare (though I'm told I carry small), so if you are petite but have a giant belly and breasts then there will be plenty of room for you!

What's advantageous about the Gownie over the kind offered at the hospital is that my butt is not exposed to the world, the shoulders aren't falling down, and there are still snaps in the front for nursing. Oh and it's also "cute". I personally plan on giving birth in the hospital gown offered in the Maternity ward, and then wearing the Gownie after I've showered & until I leave (assuming I only have to spend 1 night there). You could avoid wearing the hospital gown altogether by ordering two Gownies, but I personally don't have enough money. I imagine the Gownie will also make for a great house dress for the week or two after delivery! I am thus far very satisfied with my purchase!

I got this for a scheduled csection. the nurses were insisting me put on the hospital gown so I didn't get my beautiful gown "dirty". I had to keep telling them, thats okay that is why i bought it!!!! I felt much more comfy for visitors in a nicer gown than being stuck in the ughly hospital green one all day since it is usually the next day before the IVs are removed so i could put on my own nursing gown.

It was easy for nursing, i felt completely covered when I needed to be and no strings to tie!

SO WORth it...I have to say I was NOT expecting all the attention it got from the nurses. they thought it was a BRILLIANT idea!

"I just recieved my hospital gown today! I absolutely love it!!! I am very pleased with the quality and fit of this product. It was quite expensive, however; I am excited to be able to wear it in the hospital. I would've bought two if the price were a bit cheaper! I have it in the wash now and I'm ready to pack it in my hospital bag! Thanks again! "
