Does your doctor hand you a paper gown or worse a worn, tattered exam gown that leaves you feeling vulnerable? Let him know about dearjohnnies! If your doctor orders from us and gives us your name, you will receive a $100 Amex gift card!

Kind Words from Julie, A Customer

We love to hear from our customers!

Here, Julie shares her feedback:

"I absolutely love dearjohnnies! A friend told me about the gowns several years ago and it has now become my go-to gift for baby showers. And the gowns are truly a hit...everyone wants to know where to get them. It's easy to find cute baby clothes and the tried and true necessities for newborns, but it is rare to find a great gift for the mom-to-be. Plus, it's a functional gift that can be used for the next delivery. In addition to making hospital gowns chic, Rachel is fabulous and truly understands great customer service!"

Soy Safe? See What Dana Farber Experts Have To Say

There has been widespread concern about whether it is safe for women with breast cancer to eat soy.

An excellent source of fiber, vitamin B6, and protein, soy is usually associated with a health-conscious diet, but research concerning its safety has been mixed.

Some studies have shown isoflavones, a class of phytoestrogens, or plant-derived compounds, found in soy could impact a woman's estrogen levels and increase the risk of cancer recurrence among some breast cancer patients. Estrogen is known to promote the growth of breast cancer cells.

Wendy Y. Chen, MD, MPH, a breast cancer expert at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, has conducted research that shows that soy is safe to eat for breast cancer survivors.

39 Weeks! Jen, Editor from MWS Is Ready!

We are so excited for Jen Thomas, editor at MommiesWithStyle.com who is expecting her third baby any minute!

Her dearjohnnies gown is at the ready and here's what she had to say:

It’s been a long 39 weeks. I am ready to meet my baby girl any day now! My bags are packed, and one of the things in that bag that I am very excited about is my new dearjohnnies hospital gown and robe.

I was looking at pictures of myself from my last two births, and honestly, that big, gross, ugly hospital gown couldn’t have made me look any worse. I understand childbirth may not be the most glamorous time for a woman’s appearance, but really, those hospital gowns don’t fit, expose everything, and don’t do anything to make you feel special on your extra-special day.

Enter dearjohnnies designer hospital gowns. These beautiful gowns are soft, well-fitting, beautiful, and are hospital friendly with snaps on the sleeves and down the back, allowing easy access for breastfeeding, IV lines, etc. They are perfect to wear while laboring and giving birth, afterwards, or at home for ease and comfort. I plan to wear mine when I labor and deliver so I look and feel as good as I can!

"dearjohnnies gowns are my "go to" shower gift for pregnant pals. I adore giving them, along with this silly poem"- Cathy (Winnetka, IL)


The mother-to-be is finally there.
No more reading US Mag in a lounge chair!
The role of her friends is to help her prepare;
After delivery she'll need tender-loving-care!

Be stylish, well-groomed...a model of chic health care!
Much love on the occasion of this "expectant" affair!
