I BOUGHT THESE FOR MY TUMMY TUCK SURGERY. Aggressive all caps aside these dresses were everything for me. They are soft comfortable have decent pockets easy buttons easy pull over and just generally lovely. I wore one home the morning after surgery and then rotated through them during my first week post op. They hid my very bulky compression gear and how swollen I was.And even though Im not one for night dresses I do plan to wear them for morning lounging with my coffee after aim fully healed. The only reason I haven't continued to wear them during my healing past week 1 I can fit into other clothing now that Im not so swollen. So when I leave the house for Dr appointments I can blend into the public a little better now. They are still magical and lovely and anyone getting major surgery should highly consider them. Being buttom up means that others can easily assist you without you having to raise or rotate your arms/shoulders.
