So the local uniform shop here has decided to STOP carrying the required color scrubs our hospital requires nursing to wear. Not sure why-- seems bad for business.. not carrying the color scrubs most of your customers HAVE to wear?
Anyway, tried looking online for plus size scrubs. I like Dickies Hip Flip collection (I like the elastic waist and flared leg), but I can never find a website where they have anything larger than an XL in stock.
I had the same issue with the crotch ripping! I bought an extra pair of pants and a friend of mine sewed extra panels in for me! In school we have to wear a white button shirt, so she sewed panels in there too. I'm just going to have to buy extras for her to fix for me when I start wearing non white scrubs!
She just took a traingular piece from one pair and sewed it into the sides and crotch of the pants and then did the same for the side of the top. I think the term is gusset? I am more fluffy in the middle and need extra width, especially for bending!
Cherokee Workwear. Those things wear like nothing I've ever seen. Marcus Uniforms has them for the lowest prices I've seen, and they're available in every color under the sun.
