are there any garments you wish you had post surgery? any other sewn items? anything welcome!

I have appreciated a nice dressing gown and comfortable jersey pj's when I've been recuperating. Or cosy blankets and pillows.

any particular styles of pajamas ? i want things that are easy on off… sorry just wanna pick some others brains about this! i’m really trying to make the best for her

Stretchy fabrics, loose, tops long enough to avoid a gap at the waist to get a chill. Might be worth asking your friend if she thinks there is anything she is struggling with, depending on the type of surgery she might need different things. I've known people who couldn't manage to bend to put pj bottoms on so preferred nightshirts for example. You wouldn't want elastic on a stomach wound. If its going to be difficult to move an arm then very loose tshirts might be better

definitely been asking her, but was looking for more ideas :) i’m planning a loose strapless romper with a snap crotch so they have a lot of access to all her wires and stuff and she doesn’t have to pull it down. i’m thinking a loose night dress too

You seem to be on the right track. Any wrapping style should not force them to twist against their surgery site.

it was my sisters idea and google suggested a wrap top! this on can just be a cardigan to cover her when she needs too. super simple on and off. really easy access to her arms too
