A few notes I've made regarding the making of the isolation gowns. This short video shows you the prototype gown that Marj Deveau made using the adjusted pattern. Adjustments were made in order to use the colorful broadcloth. The hems and finishes are not done on this prototype.
- Notice the two part sleeve.
- Notice the encased elastic at the wrist. The sleeves are long enough for those with longer arms.
- Only the front of the gown has a scooped neckline and will need to be finished before stitching to the back pieces.
- Notice how the back pieces overlap to give good coverage.
- The gown length has been made 4" longer for better coverage.
- Two sets of twill tape ties will be added to the back section. They will be positioned neck and mid section while keeping the overlap. If you don't get twill tape for the ties in your supply packet, it's because there wasn't enough of the 3/4" tape. Please use the tie making directions from the Instruction sheet.
Here is a sample of how you might want to finish your front neckline.
(And if you've forgotten how to make bias tape, click here for a short YouTube video.)

| Using a 1.25" Bias length, press in half. Stitch to the wrong side of the neckline. Clip curves, and press over to the right side, then top stitch. |
