Breast Support Medical Gowns

Abstract

A breast support medical gown includes an outer garment and a brassiere. The outer garment comprises an outer garment opening to allow body access for medical examinations and operations. The brassiere is permanently or removably attached to the outer garment providing wearers with a sense of self-dignity and breast support. The breast support medical gown can be worn with the outer garment opening facing forward or backward without comprising the brassiere's breast-supporting function. For a removably attached brassiere, a wearer may mix-match the sizes of an outer garment and a brassiere. The wearer may also wear the outer garment without a brassiere.
