Attention tall nurses!!!

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can get scrubs that fit? I am a 5'11 women, and I wear a size 18. I can never find scrubs that fit properly. The ones that I do manage to find are almost always too short (floods), or too large in the crotch area. Please Help!!! :nailbiting:

I've ordered a lot of scrubs from Scrubs and Beyond (formerly Life Uniform). I'm not tall myself but did notice they have a pretty large selection of tall sizes.

Try aviatorscrubs.com for a variety of sizes as well as customization.

Super Shoe has a good selection of tall scrubs in all sizes...

I also like the Med Couture brand because they are longer in the leg. I am long legged and long waisted and they fit me nicely.

Uniform City at Uniform City

They have brick and mortar stores as well as online shopping...great prices, too.

I buy mine online (am 6 foot tall). Allheart .com sells Cherokee (as do many others) tall scrub pants that come in a large size. I find the seat a little baggy, but it's much better than sagging down and rubbing my thighs raw the way the hospital ones do.

I've made my own scrub tops for years, and recently tried the pant pattern for a costume for my daughter, and they were surprisingly easy to make! Simplicity pattern.

I'm just shy of 5'10, and swear by Koi's whole line. Naturally, one of the most expensive is the one that fits me the best! I have long muscular legs, and their tall lengths have fit me perfectly from size 18 to my current 12. They wash well too! You can usually catch sales at Life for them. Be careful of Cherokee's talls because I'm definitely too short for them....which stinks, because I really like that brand too.

I am 6'1" (so I think in the tallest one posting here so far) and a size 10/12. I always buy Barco brand, more often than not Grey's Anatomy at that. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the softness of them, and the fact that they are definitely long enough. I either buy them online at Scrubs & Beyond or go to the Uniform Advantage stores and see what colors they have in stock.

First I would like to say thank you for taking the time to comment! I want you to know your definitely the person I'm looking for. Second can you please tell me what inseam do you purchase when shopping online??

I love the idea of making my own scrub tops since I generally hate a lot of the patterns I've seen out there - what kind of fabric do you use, and where do you buy it?

I always buy Barco Brand, in the Long Length (I believe it's TL when selecting). I've never looked at the inseam, but they are always plenty long enough! I want to say it's at least a 34" inseam AFTER washing. I don't wear any other scrubs but Grey's Anatomy by Barco.
