a first adjustment slit;
at least one first slit fastener;
a second adjustment slit;
at least one second slit fastener;
an adjustable collar;
a collar fastener;
at least one collar anchor point;
at least one adjustable fastening mechanism comprising a belt, a first snap-fastener interlocking piece, and a plurality of second snap-fastener interlocking pieces;
the belt being terminally connected to the first backflap;
the first snap-fastener interlocking piece being integrated into the belt and being positioned offset from the first backflap;
wherein:
the belt is mounted onto the first backflap, opposite to the torso-covering garment;

the first snap-fastener interlocking piece is detachably and selectively coupled to the plurality of second snap-fastener interlocking pieces; and
the at least one adjustable fastening mechanism is arranged to enable the first backflap to be cinched around the subject's body in such a manner that, when in a closed configuration, the first backflap overlaps with the second backflap forming a covering portion and an adjustment portion on the backside of the subject, wherein the adjustment portion forms a triangular section with the first backflap and the belt, such that the first snap-fastener interlocking piece is at an apex of a triangle and the covering portion is at a base of the triangle, thereby allowing the gown to obscure the front of the subject while permitting easy access to the backside of the subject;

the second adjustment slit being oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second sleeve;
the second adjustment slit being positioned opposite to the second backflap seam about the second sleeve;
the second adjustment slit traversing through a distal arm opening of the second sleeve, along the second sleeve, and into a neck hole of the torso-covering garment;
the second slit fastener being detachably connected across the second adjustment slit;
the adjustable collar being integrated around the neck hole of the torso-covering garment;
