Sorry. Now you know how we "fat" nurses feel when we try to buy REGULAR clothing and manufacturers seem to think that an "extra large" is supposed to fit someone who is 5'8" and 120 lbs.

I've ordered from them before. They make jackets, pants, tops, etc. and you can get everything in petite or tall lengths, even the tops! They are a bit pricey, but they have tons of very unique material choices (some are even in flannel for the winter) so you really are getting custom scrubs. I once ordered something from them and found it was way too big - sent it back and they returned it to me one week later tailored to a smaller and shorter size, free of charge. I know it was the same jacket, too, because as a test I put an ink dot on the back of the tag, and it was there when I got the jacket back.

a good tailor or seamstress can do it for quite cheap $6-10. and if youa re a repeat customer or refer people you may get a discount.

I'm 5'6", 125 # but I don't have a big bust. If I don't wear a tank top or t-shirt under the EXTRA-SMALL scrub top somebody is going to get a show

Thanks

Are you my daughter? She is the same size as you. She is going to nursing school and gets measured for the uniforms in a couple of weeks. I wonder what the outcome will be? I am a little taller and was about 5'1" and 1115 lbs. when I was in nursing school. I have very short legs. The pants NEVER fit me. I always had to get the dress and shorten it. But the cut of the pants was always too uncomfortable. These were supposed to be custom measured too! The Dickies mini scub tops that they sell in many stores fit my daughter pretty well. They are a good price. I have seen them for $15-20 each in my area. As for pants, I think the low rise are good too for her. It eliminates the problem of the waist being at chest level. She usually gets her sister to shorten them though. Good luck!

Ok...I have found that Grey's Anatomy has a new junior fit in their petite line...they are hard to find, but I have been to a store that carries them, and they are great.

You'll still have to get them hemmed, but they are NOT low-rise (which for me, is great...I have a very long torso and can't wear anything low-rise b/c they don't sit on my hips, they show half-my butt).

They have a drawstring front BUT they have an elastic back...so you don't have to do the frequent readjusting.

I also found out that Katherine Heigl has a "short" length that fits very well.

Now, these aren't short enough for me...I still have to get them hemmed, however, only by an inch or so.

I'm 5'2, I weigh 115, and I have a 26" inseam.
