A paper pattern provided by the hospital. It's very basic. It actually looks a bit like a kimono, raglan short sleeves, simple front on a fold and two back pieces. Nothing very special.

Looks a bit like a mini-peasant blouse.

Please understand, I am not an artist, but here is a drawing of what I am talking about. If this still isn't clear, I will make one and show you actual pictures of the steps. They do work up quite nice. You could just make them all white and add different ribbon colors for boy or girl. I watch Walmart for rolls of ribbon on sale cheap for such things. Usually I find rolls for around a dollar.
You've been very helpful. So many nice ladies on here. I can always count on someone having the answer. I'll try to post a picture of the one I finished. While we're on the subject, have you ever made a cloth envelope? The hospital uses them for the paperwork, etc. for the parents. |

thanks. That's basically what the pattern I'm using looks like. It has short sleeves though. I understand the neck now. It's like making a casing and putting the skinny ribbon through it. I'll give that a try on the next one.

I have never heard of a bereavement gown. Where would it be worn and who would wear it?

What the heck is a bereavement gown?
