Problems finding scrubs that fit

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello everyone!

I am a new CNA who just started nursing school. I've been having lots of problems finding scrubs that fit especially pants. I am 5'11 and 125 lbs, all the ones that are long enough basically fall off of me. Does anyone know where I can get specialty fitting ones?

Specializes in ER / Critical Care.

Walmart carries petite/regular/tall scrub pants in sizes XS-XXL and they have a drawstring waist, so they won't fall off :) you'd probably fit the XS tall.

I'm 5'10 and all legs- I am tho like 150lbs

I have the tall Cherokees and they are just right in the length!!! Pretty good quality too

Similar height and weight. The scrubs that are long enough look like I'm wear clown pants. No help here, a shorter co-worker recommend Grey's Anatomy.

Just editing to add that a drawstring does not help all. If you have pants that are long enough but you could fit two of your bodies into (one in each leg) and then you cinch it at the waist, the legs balloon out and look ridiculous LOL. Even so-called "XS" in many styles is still made big.

kaceemarie meet sewing machine, lol.

Urbane Scrubs carries an XSmall and an XXSmall scrub pant with tall inseams. Also check out Landau uniforms, because these are also made by the same maker as the Urbane Scrubs.

Greys anatomy scrubs are the best. I had trouble finding pants...one size was too big and the other too small. Greys fit perfect plus the material is extremely comfy

Have you tried Aviator scrubs?

I make sure there is an elastic waste band that goes all the way around (not a tie string)

and side pockets.

My work clothes have to feel as much like pajamas as possible and at the same time make me feel dignified.

I am 6'1, and about 150lbs...I wear Grey's anatomy! I love their pants. They are 1/2 elastic 1/2 drawstring and the drawstring actually works! It's not funky like some are to tie! You can actually tie it tight! And best of all, they don't shrink! Actually, any Barco uniform should work! Grey's Anatomy is by Barco and The pants are all made similar. All my scrubs are Barco! Mainly Grey's but all Barco!

I wish I had this problem.

I'm 5'10" and I ordered the junior cut dickies fit flare in a tall. The length is perfect though the cut itself is small so although I usually wear a medium, I needed a Large. Maybe the small or extra small in a tall will work for you.
