I'll Write Your Prescription, And Help You Relax.
This dress is very cute! I wore it to a local Cannabis Convention, and I got a TON of compliments. Everyone thought I was a booth babe, and I got my picture taken a bunch. I also got a ton of free food and t-shirts just wearing this dress and a pair of big black boots. The guys were definitely diggin' me. The dress has five cute pieces to complete your look. You will totally feel like a green cross nurse, and be able to wear this dress for many a night to come!Published: October 4, 2011
Pros:
Great construction, Cute design, Multiple Pieces,
Cons:
Totally see through, Garter won't stay up without lingerie glue/tape, Tag needs a bigger safety pin
When I saw this outfit online, I knew it was what I wanted to wear to the local Hemp Con. My husband and me do not smoke, however, we are active in the legalizing scene. I thought this would be great to wear at conventions, and was hoping it would be nice enough to last a good long while. Luckily, I was right.
The outfit arrived very quickly, and in one of those typical bags with a snap that most Halloween costumes come in. There are five pieces that come with the set. You get a prescription pad, a garter, the dress, name tag and the head piece. I'll talk about each in turn.
First up is the name tag. It is simple, and what you'd expect. At 4" long and 1" deep, it's a bit off-balance when you put it on. The safety pin on the back of it is only an inch long. I wish the safety pin was longer so it would be more stable, but honestly the whole set is so cute and that is my only real gripe. The tag says "Medical" on top, and "Mary Jane" on the bottom. I though that the "Medical" part made the tag look a little bit tacky. I wish it said something like "Nurse Mary Jane". "Medical" to me isn't a title, so I just took a single strip of electrical tape and ran it across the offending word. I thought the tag looked much cuter saying "Mary Jane" only.
The headpiece worried me. It is a single flat piece of fabric folded over on itself, and finished nicely, but designed to tie behind the head with a single ribbon. I think it will fit any head, the length of the ribbon being 45" long. It is only a quarter inch thick though, and satiny on one side. Generally, satin ribbons never stay for me, so I was a bit worried. Luckily this stayed on very well for hours at the con and I only had to adjust it once or twice. The top four sides of the outfit is lined in a green satin ribbon, with a green cross and pot leaf in the middle of it. There is no mistaking what type of nurse this outfit implies.
The garter is a bit cheaply done, but it served its purpose. It is just a single length of white ribbon which will fit thighs up to 18". There is the same green cross on this as there is on the hat, but unfortunately there's no backing to it on the garter, which makes it a bit floppy. Truth be told, this garter is not well made enough to stay up on its own, so I used some sock glue. I had no issues getting this on or off using the glue, and it washed up to look good as new without much effort. If you are just using the set for sex, the garter might not be all that important to you, and it will likely fall or come off after a few minutes of your play.
The prescription pad was adorable, but I didn't use it at all. If you were at a party, this would be a very cute way to hand out your phone number somewhat discretely. There's a spot on the paper for: name, phone number, date, doctor, and signature. There is an RX symbol, and

Experience
(cont) four strains to check off: Purple Haze, Kind Kush, Johnny Blaze, and Happy Place. I carried around a pen with me at the convention, and hoped to be able to find the courage to flirt enough to hand out one or two with my name - but I caved under pressure. (Why do girls have to make me so nervous. It's probably that they're all so gorgeous. Yep.) The notepad is 3.5" long by 5" long. It has 17 pages, and fits perfectly in either of the two bottom pockets without issue.
And now, the best part! The dress! I wanted to wear this in public, so I went with a size bigger than I usually go with. I got the XL. I wish I got the L. I'm 5'2", 145 pounds, 34-36D bust (depending on bra brand), 33" waist, and a 40" hip. The dress was a bit big. First off: the dress is in NO WAY opaque. In the pictures it looks opaque, but it was completely see-through. The material is 100% polyester, and I had to put a slip dress underneath to wear this outside of the house. It isn't just a little see-through, everyone is going to see the pattern on your underwear, if you are wearing any.
The length of the dress is 33", and I found that on my petite frame it came down a bit further than mid-thigh. One of the pockets has an "RX" in green which is clearly basted on, so if you wanted to remove it, you could - unlike the green crosses which are glued on tightly to both sleeves (the same one seen in other places on the dress). The sleeves are also piped in green ribbon. Measured flat, the dress is: 32-46" at the bust (with stretch!), waist 32-38", and the hip goes from 40-44". Surprisingly, my measurements were all at the small end of the garment range, so if I was buying this again I'd definitely go a size down. This definitely served its purpose though and was quite comfortable. The only part of the dress I didn't like was the collar, it just felt like I was being swallowed up by it a bit, and was clearly big.
The tag says to dry clean this only, however I found that it went through the wash in a lingerie bag just fine, and then I hung it on a hanger to dry. While I have not worn the dress for sex, if you wanted to, you could. The zipper in the front that runs down the length of the dress is a two-way zipper, so you can either hitch the skirt up (if you're vertically challenged like me), or unzip the bottom zipper a little bit to get more access. I got so many compliments. So many people told me that I was classy looking, and as I mentioned, many thought I was a booth babe and asked what company I was with!

While it doesn't come out very often, I still love this piece. It is adorable, and all the pieces seem to be holding up very nicely. I will definitely wear this to future conventions or to other medical marijuana rallies.

Thank you for viewing Medical Mary Jane – costume review page!
I apologize for the lack of paragraphs in the second section! For some reason, the "Experience" box was fighting me tooth and nail on paragraphs.
Great review! Lol sorrt you couldnt (easily) wear this out to hemp con! great review though, always appreciate length measurement as a tall girl... and there were plenty of paragraph breaks to me in the experience section, but maybe you wanted more?
*sorry.
And i misread-- looks like you did wear it out! But for me, i wouldnt have been so brave!!
Awesome review! This outfit is so cute! Thanks for the info!
great review, thanks for sharing.
Thanks everyone for the comments!
@tigerkate So weird! Every time I go to my review, the experience section has no paragraphs, I wonder if different browsers matter. And yep! I did wear this out, but I had to wear a slip dress under it.
Great review, kitty!
Thanks for the great review.
Really thorough review! It comes with a prescription pad? I hadn't noticed that on the product page! How cute.
Fantastic review and my best friend would love it though since it's so see-through I couldn't wear it for him even for fun. Maybe I'll send him the link and his current gf could wear it for him.
