When I received my Giftgown in the mail, I couldn’t be happier. I was thinking it was going to feel like an uncomfortable piece of material just like the gowns at the hospital. But to my surprise, it was stretchy, cozy and so comfortable. I tried it on and didn’t want to take it off. IT WAS AMAZING. The design was on point as well. Loved everything about it. When it came down to the delivery of my daughter, I’m so happy I wore this gown as it was stylish, (for all the photos) plus it was super comfortable during my whole experience giving birth. Thank you Giftgowns for a beautiful gown that made this mama proud.

I knew I was going to have a birth photographer documenting our birth/hospital experience so I knew I’d want to have a nicer gown than your typical hospital one. I was so pleased when I stumbled upon Giftgowns! Their gowns are all so cute it was hard to decide which one I would want to wear. The gown was sent in a timely manner and was very soft. It is also 100% hospital approved. It has easy access to drop down for skin on skin/breastfeeding, and access for doctors and nurses to get to everything they need as well. Support this small business, you won’t regret it!

I am a nurse and I knew going into the birthing experience that hospital gowns are so thin and ugly. I wanted my own gown that I could change into once I was admitted. I also know the usefulness of the buttons down the arm so was happy to find this brand as a hospital gown alternative!

As a first time expecting Mama, I was so excited to meet my baby- but also incredibly nervous about going to the hospital and being in labour. I wanted to make sure I had a bag packed with things that would make my stay as comfortable as possible while there. I wore my Giftgowns hospital gown during labour and it was perfect! I’m so happy I didn’t have to wear one of the uncomfortable standard hospital gowns. The material was so comfortable, and the snaps at the shoulders made skin to skin contact and nursing with my baby so easy. Not to mention my hospital photos looked so much cuter!

I absolutely loved the gown! It was so nice to go into labor knowing I had a gown that fit me properly and I felt covered in all the right places! Giving birth usually involves a lot of moving around and having a gown that it was important for me to have a gown that wasn’t worn out, stained, or see through like many I experienced before! A bonus was it was epidural friendly which was something that was important to me! It’s definitely a great gift for any expectant mama or for anyone who has to have frequent hospital stays!

I’m planning on using my Giftgown for everything! For labour, afterwards, and breastfeeding. I’ll be doing a Fresh 48 photo shoot in the hospital after my baby girl is born and I’ll be wearing my Giftgown! I’ve even worn it a few times while setting up my baby girl’s nursery!
