Christine Concannon started Raspberry Bee Patient Gowns when her parents began to fail and it saddened her to see them wearing old faded hospital gowns everyday.

Christine grew up in New Orleans, where her grandparents and parents tailored costumes for Mardi Gras Krewes, who rode the floats in the city’s celebrated parades.

With a family that valued fine tailoring, Christine and her husband, Michael,
decided to start a small company that would make patient gowns that look and feel as wonderful as fine pajamas or a nice nightgown.

They offer several styles, including limited edition designer gowns from Lilly Pulitzer prints. The material from each gown is pre-washed for extra softness and minimal shrinkage.
