Let's All Just Wear Bags

Thanks Nightowl!
I will try looking for some of that stitchwichery and try that.

ERNurse752,
I really wish I had your problem. I never reached my goal of being even 5'6''! oh well. My mom has that problem though she is 5'9'' and everything is always too short for her. She finds that she likes Cherokee they always come in talls. Now if she could only find lavender in talls...they never have lavender.

Tiger,
you are right I would totally love wearing velvet. that would be so comfortable.

I am glad I am not the only one who thought this was about wearing a foley bag! lol! Nurses are bad for not emptying their bladder when they should. As for the uniforms, I have to hem them myself. The shapier uniforms are very expensive and why pay all that money to get body fluids staining them?

aimeee, that website you referred was perfect. They should have put a much larger glass in that guy’s hand.


As for the difference between unisex and scrubs actually made for men, I will just say there is too much room in the pants where it is not needed and not enough where it actually is needed.

Aimeee. I thought it was about the same thing. We all know that it is difficult, to say the least, to have time to go to the washroom.
I love working in the OR. I never have to worry about my uniform. However, to make it less UNIform. I wear funky socks, and all my hats are home-made. I must admit, by my mother. I am presently sporting a wonderful snoopy x-mas hat. I get alot of positive feedback, from co-workers, and patients. I recently bought a pattern for warm-up jackets. I am very fortunate that my mom enjoys doing this for me.....

I was just perusing the Tafford site--they have a "winter" area to check out for flannel scrubs and some thermal tops, too.

www.tafford.com

All I can suggest is to lobby for some changes in the dress code! Get a catalog and take it in--pretty soon others will want changes, too. Wear 'em down!!

I have purchased things from Tafford before-uniform pants to be exact as I like the cuffed bottom kind. Life Uniform is waaay too expensive! Check out Lydia's Professional Uniforms--I'm not sure what the website is though. They have nice stuff too!

We own a Uniform Shoppe and we order from Crest, Peaches, and Angelica. We are working on Cherokee next. These companies provide several tailored styles, which we can buy wholesale and mark up 150%...most stores mark up 4-600%!!! Anyone interested in looking at our stuff, I can send you our catalogs in the mail if you email me at cravensm@southwind.net

I personally am horizontally and vertically gifted....6ft 1in and 250+ lbs and am a woman. I find many uniforms that fit, from these companies, and look nice also.

PS....
Would LOVE a pair of the flares, just NOT white
