Don’t you just hate hospitals? They smell of medicines and disinfectants. The beds are uncomfortable, and the worst part is, patients have to wear the same hospital gowns every single day. Being in these gowns make many patients feel bad about themselves because they remind them of their sickness. Thankfully, several designers decided to give hospital gowns a new look and the kids love them to bits.
Hospital gowns aren’t exactly the most comfortable clothes to wear when you’re sick.
