This is the softer, lighter labor gown for moms who want function without the heavier feel of a full Velcro-front style. The Burgundy Plum Ruffle Strap Labor & Delivery Gown is sleeveless with a snap front, Velcro back, and ruffle straps that snap open for nursing.
Why I picked it: I picked Burgundy Plum for the mom who wants the lighter Ruffle Strap feel in a dark, photo-friendly color. I’d wash it before use, and if your skin is very sensitive, pay attention to where the ruffle strap joins the front. That spot may bother some people more than the soft knit itself.
Details that matter
95% viscose / 5% spandex lighter knit with a soft, stretchy feel
Sleeveless cut with ruffle straps that snap open for nursing
Full-length snap front for monitoring, ultrasound access, and skin-to-skin through the front closure
Full-length Velcro back for epidural placement
Two side pockets
Smaller top-end sizing than the Universal style; this color offers XS/S through 2X/3X when available
Wash before using; machine wash cold on gentle and tumble dry low or lay flat
Burgundy Plum is dark and more forgiving than lighter colors, while still feeling softer and less severe than black.
Hospital note
Many hospitals allow personal gowns, but policies vary. Confirm during your L&D tour or with your care team, and know staff may ask you to change. Personal gowns can be stained, damaged, or cut off in an emergency. For a C-section in the OR, expect to change into the hospital’s sterile gown.
