I'm 5'4" and 110 pounds...small frame. I bought cherokee XXS petites and they fit pretty well. I can't dry them or they would be too short, but regulars are WAY too long. My biggest problem though is scrub tops. Every scrub top I have tried just hangs on me...they all seem to swallow me.

I'm 5'2" also. Don't all of you "shorties" just love shopping? Yay! LOL
Just yesterday I went to 4 different stores to find petite scrubs. The only ones that were decent for me were Landau and Cherokee scrub bottoms.
I wear Sketcher shapeups which add a little height, and still I think the Cherokee ones are a little too long....it was raining today and the bottoms of them got soaking wet. But they will do.
I HATE shopping for pants! And I feel I'm in between sizes in scrubs, smalls are too small and mediums are a little too baggy, but oh well...

I think I have found the end of our problems! Go to uniformcity.com and they actually sell petite pants! They have XSM! I think I'll order one pair and see how they fit before I order any more.

I'm 4ft 11in and 100lbs (+/-). I had the hardest time finding pants to fit in the length. Seems that designers think if you're thin then you must be tall, or if your short you must be heavier. I could find pants that fit in the length but the crotch would be half way down my thigh and making me look like a little kid dressing up in mom's clothes OR they would fit in the hip, waist, butt, thigh..but were so long I could make 3 pair out of what I needed to cut off and have hemmed!
I finally found pants that fit in the lenght but don't make me look like an ooommpa loompa! Cherokee style 4020 drawstring pants! (Cherokee Workwear Women's Petite Size Workwear D-ring Cargo scrub pants is what I did a google search for to find them). Love these!! Nice fit, wash well, comfortable, yet I don't look like I'm wearing pajamas and not so fitting that it looks too small or inappropriate. Check them out!

I am 5'1 (on a good day) & very petite and I order med couture scrubs online ---usually from Lydia's---and they fit great (I have to order the petite though) and they fit well, wash well and come invarious styles and colors. The cherokee petite are ok too but they fade a lot. Hope this helps...

Give these a try: http://www.allheart.com/ah1set.html?green=F393BC8A-DF2D-5E3E-0B01-14272C810C5B#i
They come in XS and XXS. For the price, you can afford to buy a pair to try out.
I'm 5'4, pretty slim and the XS fit well.

Cherokee Workwear. Tops come in XXS and pants also come as small as XXS and also come in petite sizes, too.
I'm 5'2" and slim, and I typically go for an XXS top and XS-P pants. They fit very well.

Cherokee XXS is still too big for me. I also feel like it "hangs" on me. I have found that the grey's anatomy xxs fits great. But alas, I settled for "larger" scrubs and what I do is wear some yoga pants and shirts UNDER my scrubs. Keeps me nice and toasty.
Also, check out this website! The scrubs feel a little bit more "hip" per say. hehe

I'm 5'2'' 105-110lbs size 0-2 and carry what little weight I have in my hip/thigh area. This is what works for me:
-Koi Lindsey pants XS (I buy regular but they come in petite)
-Koi Katelyn top XS (shorter than the other Koi tops, and has a tie to tighten it below the bust)
-Wonder Wink Utility Girl Stretch pants and tops XS.
-Grey's Anatomy junior fit XS, but I stopped buying because the cargo pockets are teeny.

Grey's Anatomy all the way. My oldest set is from 2009 and you would never guessed its that old. Color still looks great. After that first one I have bought about 4-5 more Barco scrubs. Same Grey's Anatomy line but different top styles. Love these!

I'm 5'4" and 110lbs. I almost exclusively wear Koi -- Lindsay pants in XS and Katelyn top in XS. I buy the regular length pants but there's a petite length that you could try.
Also, try on Urbane -- they run on the small side and I believe that they carry XXS.
