Abstract

A protective garment is provided with features which facilitate the donning thereof in accordance with current aseptic principles and which maintains a tight fit to preclude contamination during use and which is both comfortable and usable by a wide range of differently sized wearers. Specifically, a gown is folded in such a way as to present only inside surfaces to the assistant who aids the donner in donning the gown. Additionally, the gown is provided with cuffs and collar having stretch and recovery properties to aid in donning and front and back pleats to aid in donning as well as accommodating wearers of different size.
