Yes, Virginia, there is a stylish hospital gown
LaborLooks hospital gowns are specifically for pregnant moms who plan to give birth in a birthing center or hospital facility. Designed by a labor and delivery nurse and a certified nurse midwife, the features on these gowns meet both the needs of both moms and hospital providers. Each gown is made with a high-quality 100% cotton designer fabric and coordinating border trim, which in turn coordinates with the grosgrain ribbon trim found at the neck and waist. While the cute grosgrain ribbon ties look great on Mom, they also allow for epidural access and ease of movement when sitting on a birthing ball or laying in bed. (Let’s hope you’re not laying in bed for long!)
Along with stylish prints and grosgrain ties these gowns also have a pocket in front perfect for a camera or cell phone and shoulder snaps for breastfeeding. I love the fact that these gowns come in ten different styles (my favorite is the Kylee Powder) and cost under $50. You can purchase your own LaborLooks hospital gown for $48 from LaborLooks.com. - Emily H.
OK - this made me giggle. Really?? Now I have to admit that I didn’t pay much attention to my hospital gown pre or post birth but I’m imagining it didn’t look so pretty. I was looking forward to using the hospital garb so I didn’t ruin any of my own clothes. Can anyone legitimize this purchase??? Maybe it’s just me but this is just over the top!
Okay, it may be a bit of a frivolous purchase but when it came to having my fourth child I might have wanted to change things up a bit with a fun little purchase, and this would have been cute. I have fast labors so I’d probably have stuck with the hospital gown during delivery but recovered in something a little more fun (and a little more fun in pictures) than the bland gowns the hospital had. Most everything you purchase is for the baby--thought this might be a fun one for mom. ;)
I don’t see why they have to cost so much, HOWEVER, I do love this idea - it’s a perfect baby shower gift, so your not the one spending the money - let someone else shower you with something special! Everyone knows that little “ugh” feeling when we’re handed the standard hospital gown, how fun would it be to actually LOOK FORWARD to putting a gown on because of how cute it is! Plus, those pictures taken in the labor/recovery room stay with you forever and are many times framed, so I can see this purchase actually making sense!
If you enjoy sewing, you might want to look at this free hospital gown pattern. Depending on your choice of fabric, you might save a few dollars; with moderate pattern alteration skills, you should be able to make one that fits you better.
These are really cute. I think it is the perfect baby shower gift. I also plan on getting one for my delivery, my second baby is due in July. I was not comfortable in the starchy hospital gown that was actually way too big during my first delivery. Added plus - photos!!! I like the ryann princess gown.
I am looking for a REALLY cute hospital gown design cuz’ I have a pacemaker and right now have been in and out of the hospital (if only just for check - ups). And really, my hospital gets their gowns washed @ the state prison!!! :( Plus I’m a teenager and those ugly things are just… BLAH! So, yeah.
Oh yeah! I was thinking maybe a bubble bottom (you know, like those skirts and dresses)? I think that would be adorable!

Wow, the appearance of my hospital gown was literally the LAST thing on my mind when I had my baby! It’s interesting to hear that others find these “designer” hospital gowns appealing.
