ABSTRACT:
A gown, such as for a patient's use in a hospital or doctor's office, has front and rear openings extending from the neck to the hem. The rear of the gown is permanently closed at the neck only, with an overlap between the left and right side panels extending to the hem. The gown can be opened anywhere down the back, below the neckline, between the overlapped panels. One or more releasable ties at the back maintain the patient's modesty. The front panels of the gown are not permanently closed but are joined in overlapping relation by releasable ties. The gown thus can be put on like a coat, and easily tied by a patient in the front. A doctor or nurse can nonetheless readily remove the gown from the patient over the head, or pull the gown aside, for examination or treatment.
