Product Details
After shoulder surgery, a fracture or a stroke, getting an arm into a sleeve is often the hardest part of dressing. This gown opens fully along both sides and across both shoulders with velcro, so it can be wrapped around her instead of pulled over the head. The injured arm never has to be lifted or threaded through, and it works over an arm sling.
How it works
- Open the velcro fasteners on the injured side.
- Slide the other hand through its sleeve.
- Position the gown around the body.
- Secure the shoulder velcro first.
- Close the side velcro fasteners from top to bottom.
Who it is for
- Shoulder surgery, frozen shoulder and arm fractures: the injured side opens completely, so the arm and sling stay still while she dresses.
- Stroke or one-sided weakness: dress the weaker side without bending or lifting it.
- Cardiac, chest and mastectomy recovery: no raising both arms overhead and easy access for dressings or drains.
- IV lines and hospital stays: the shoulder and sides open for line access and check-ups without removing the gown.
- Bedridden, elderly and dementia care: both sides open, so a carer can lay the gown flat and dress her lying down.
- Arthritis: velcro is easier on stiff fingers than buttons or hooks.

Care
Close all velcro strips before washing so they don't catch other clothes or collect lint. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, line dry in shade. Avoid ironing directly on the velcro.
If she cannot sit up at all, our back-open patient gown may suit her better. For a woman who can sit up and needs a front closure, see the front-open nighty.
Frequently asked questions
Can she wear this over an arm sling?
Yes. The gown opens fully along the sides and across the shoulders with velcro, so it can be wrapped around her and the sling stays in place. The injured arm does not have to be lifted or threaded through a sleeve.
Is this good after shoulder surgery?
It is made for it. The injured side opens completely, so the arm and sling stay still while she is dressed, and nothing has to be pulled over the head.
What is the difference between the side-open and the back-open gown?
The side-open gown closes with velcro along both sides and both shoulders and suits a woman who can sit up or be propped, such as after shoulder surgery or a fracture. The back-open gown wraps from the back with snaps and ties and suits a woman who is bedridden and dressed lying down.
What size should I order?
Sizes are S-M, L-XL, 2-3XL and 4XL. The garment bust measures 44, 48, 52 and 55 inches, and the length is 48 inches in all sizes. Pick the size by comparing the bust measurement with a gown she already wears comfortably, and add room if she has dressings or swelling.
Which colours does it come in?
Light Green, Flower Light Grey and Dark Blue.
How do I wash it?
Close all the velcro strips first so they do not catch other clothes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and line dry in shade. Do not iron directly on the velcro.

Yes, cash on delivery is available with a ₹150 charge, and shipping is free on prepaid orders. Orders dispatch within 2 business days and usually arrive in 3 to 5 business days in metro cities, 5 to 7 in other cities.

Mornings Before vs After Aasra
Threading a painful arm through a sleeve, or taking off the sling to get dressed. Slow, painful and risky for the injury.
Open the injured side, slide the good arm in, wrap and press the velcro closed. The sling stays on.
Made for One-Arm Dressing
A gown that opens along the side and shoulder lets the injured arm stay still in its sling while she dresses, and gives carers and staff easy access for dressings and lines.

Is velcro durable enough for daily use?
Hospital-grade velcro tested for 10,000+ open-close cycles. Machine washable without damage.
How do I choose the right size?
Please refer to the size chart on this page. If you're unsure, WhatsApp us with your measurements and we'll help you choose the perfect fit.
Is this suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes! Our adaptive clothing is designed with wheelchair users in mind, featuring easy-access openings and comfortable materials that work well while seated.
How do I wash this product?
All our products are machine washable. We recommend cold water wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Can I return if it doesn't fit?
Yes. We accept returns within 2 days of delivery on unused, unwashed products in original packaging. A flat ₹300 per product is deducted to cover logistics.
Are the clothes suitable for all seasons?
Yes. We use lightweight, breathable fabric that is comfortable across seasons.
Are the clothes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. Our garments are made from soft, breathable fabric suitable for all-day comfort, whether at home, during recovery, or at a hospital.
Will the velcro lose its grip after washing?
No. Our velcro is durable and maintains its grip even after multiple washes, as long as the care instructions are followed.
Can she wear it with an arm sling?
Yes. Open the velcro on the injured side, slide the other arm into its sleeve, wrap the gown around and close it. The sling stays on and the injured arm is never threaded through a sleeve.
Which side opens?
Both. The gown has velcro along both sides and both shoulders, so it can open on the left or the right, whichever side is injured or weaker.
Can it be put on while she is lying down?
Yes. Open both sides so the gown lies flat, place it under or over her, then close the shoulders and sides. She does not need to sit up or lift her arms.
Can doctors reach IV lines or dressings?
Yes. Open the shoulder or side velcro on that side to reach lines, drains or dressings without taking the whole gown off.
Will the velcro scratch her skin?
The velcro strips sit along the opening edges. Keep the strips closed when the gown is on, and if her skin is very sensitive, a thin vest underneath adds an extra layer.
What size should I order?
Sizes are S-M (44 in garment bust), L-XL (48 in), 2-3XL (52 in) and 4XL (55 in). All sizes are 48 inches long. If she is between sizes or wears a bulky sling, choose the larger size.
How do I wash it?
Close all the velcro strips before washing so they don't catch other clothes or collect lint. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and line dry in shade. Avoid ironing directly on the velcro.
Is it good for summer?
Yes. It is 100% cotton, soft and breathable for Indian weather.
