When examinations are in the back .... you wear it split down the back.
Split in the front, for frontal examinations!
Yeah but.... how many examinations are in the back? I've never had a "back" exam....

There are reasons for such!
Also, chiropractic, xrays, etc.

It's kind of hard to explain ..... think of it like a wrap. So ... you put your arm thru the hole and the edge of the gown falls down about your bra strap, then across the back (or front, as it doesn't matter) and put other arm in. Now it's kind of like wearing a sweater. Then bring the gown across the front. Then thru the 3rd armhole, and the end of the fabric will be about where your bra strap at the back would be.

In the end, your left side actually has a double layer of fabric because of the 3rd armhole. Whereas a traditional gown just meets .... and if it doesn't meet, well, you get that picture! :) So with this one, if the person is large and it starts to split apart, you have that overlap for a bit of dignity.

The other bonus .... with the 3rd armhole, it helps hold the gown on. The traditional ones .... of the person is small, it will slipslide off the shoulders easier.

I always liked them ... and you actually feel more properly dressed with them on!
Got it! :lol: Now I understand. Thanks.
