The original Shoulder Shirt™ in a FLANNEL gown.
We have been making shirts since 2008. Shoulder Shirts™ were developed for my mother for her to have an easy way to dress independently after her shoulder surgery and she wanted something more fashionable than altered t-shirts that didn’t her fit well. My mother found our hook and loop closures (velcro like) are the easiest way to be able to fasten your shirt with one hand. (Our custom made Shoulder Shirts™ are specifically designed so the hook and loop closures do not touch your skin and are not scratchy.) She found snaps worked great in our designs where gravity held them in place on the sides of the shirts, but when on the shoulders, snaps were difficult to fasten with one hand.
This style of nightgown opens at both shoulders with hook and loop fastener (velcro like) for ease in dressing (or nursing) and has drop sleeves that do not require fastening. Each Shoulder Shirt™ comes with a ribbon designed to pull up the back shoulder into position for fastening the shirt/gown. (See pictures for examples of how the shirts work. Please note that the pictures are a smaller size, but the same fabric.)

These gowns tend to run big to accommodate braces and casts so I have included the approximate measurements. (I do not recommend ordering the next size larger than you usually wear without first checking these measurements.)
PLEASE SEE LAST PICTURE FOR MEASUREMENTS AND SIZES.
Fabric: Cotton flannel. This soft fabric is a 100% cotton flannel. This print features an adorable owl with stars and moons on a light aqua blue background. Our little guy is sure to snuggle up with you during your recovery. This gown is loose and comfy is wonderful for someone after surgery when you can't wear a bra and is very warm and toasty for the winter time or cooler climates. It is great for recuperating at home and would be wonderful to use in place of that drafty hospital gown. You'll feel like you are getting a warm hug after surgery in our flannel gowns!!
Style: Orgetta

Shoulder Shirts™ make wonderful gifts for friends and family after surgery!! They last much longer than flowers and are so useful in their recuperation. They are great for baby shower presents for that soon-to-be nursing mom.
