PRN,
which design do you mean?
i followed the link and went to speciality items but i dont see which one you are talking about.(maybe i should have gone to costumes...lol)

KRVRN...im trying to understand your post...i think you are saying that flare bottom pants are one step below halter scrub tops...lol

im sorry but the thoughts of halter scrubs just cracks me up.

look, i am 44 years old. i LIKE flare bottom pants. if you consider that dressing like a teenager then thats youre opinion, but its not mine. i like what i like.
all im saying is that for the most part...uniforms have NO style to them. if you want to look like this:

| |
| |


i dont have a problem with it. i wont criticize what you wear. if you are comfortable and clean and dont stink then its not my concern.

but maybe i want to look like this:
| |
\ /

or this:

something just a little different.

im going to check out trafford.com

kr..would you please let me know what catalog you saw the flare bottom pants in?

allright i gotta go...im busy designing halter scrub tops (can you picture that? lol)

thanks for your replies

I can understand what you're saying about not wanting to look like everyone else, and wanting a little style. We all have our different tastes and that's cool! Me? I'm the boring type who enjoys the uniforms --- I buy way too many of them!!! Good luck though, and I hope you find what you're looking for!

One of the vertically challenged @ work sews well, either makes her own or shortens the ones she buys. The other one buys the cuff leg style, then she doesn't have to do anything to 'em.

Do I feel stupid. I thought this post was about wearing foley leg bags.

Anyway you should be a male who has to wear unisex scrubs. Just about any uniform shop you go into there are hundreds of scrubs and usually only one little rack in a corner with male scrubs. I have heard we can order them for you so many times, I just quit going in. I can order them myself and get them a whole lot faster and cheaper.

I still like the idea of the leg bag though as long as it is attached with a condom cath.

I could try sewing, but I am not talented like that.

I do have a friend that makes all her scrubs though. She is so talented!
Maybe someday she will teach me or something.

Or maybe I will just wear my pants cuffed...I guess it is no big deal.

Wildtime,

You're too much!!! LMAO! Foley legbags...

Danielle4,

I have the same problem. I'm 5'0" and must hem everything I buy!! A quick way is to use stitchwichery. It's that mesh stuff that comes on a roll like ribbon. Cut your pants, fold to where you want the hem to be then use the stitchwichery to seal the hem with your iron. It's quick and it's easy.

I only wish that I could sew though. I just love some of the Christmas designs. They make very pretty scrub jackets. Just love the design with the poinsettias with the gold in it...very nice!

I have the opposite problem...I'm 5'10 and I have a hard time finding scrubs that are long enough.
I've had good luck with Landau and that's about it...
I like the foley leg bag idea...went the whole 12 1/2 the other night without time for a bathroom break. Of course, a condom cath isn't a possibility for me...perhaps a nephrostomy would suffice...

i much preferred wearing street clothes like we used to. but now i look for uniform looking street clothes, why can't they make uniforms in a different material? like velour or flannel. i like soft stuff. and what do dress codes have against denim????????? it covers alot more than most fabrics as far as jelly rolls and such.....................
