If “chic” isn’t the word that comes to mind when thinking about hospital gowns, sisters Liza Coleman and Ashley Levi have just the thing: Medgowns, a personalized hospital-gown service that gives patients a more stylish and comfortable dressing alternative. The Dreamie, Medgowns’ first offering, is a soft, lace-trimmed gown with discreet pockets to conceal openings for ports and monitors, with an easy-to-reach back tie that provides more coverage than typical hospital gowns.

Dreamies are designed for any patient who wants to be more covered up and comfortable–from those undergoing cancer treatment to nursing home residents, those experiencing extended hospital stays and mothers-to-be. They come in styles and colors for both men and women. Dreamies retail for $49 to $69 and are available through www.medgowns. com.
