Clothes that are easy to put on, easy to look after, don't have awkward fastenings, come in a wide range of sizes - it is possible to have all this without spending a fortune on bespoke tailoring.
For a stay in hospital, or any other situation where you are spending long periods in bed, this polycotton nightdress with sweetheart neckline and two buttons is a practical choice. The open-back design not only makes it easier to put on, but will make going to the toilet or using a bed-pan a more dignified experience.
