I bought this gown for myself as a treat. I saved wearing it until I was in the postpartum room. It was wonderful. The shoulder snaps are angled so it stays on your shoulder even while nursing offering more modesty and warmth. It is a durable cotton...light but thick enough to be decent. I at least felt like I was wearing something presentable rather than the thin, over sized, not always pretty hospital gowns. Pictures turned out great holding my little girl while wearing a fun gown (that really looked like a dress).
