Scrubs for smallish nurses

by Starr84

Hi all,
I am a really smallish person (runs in my family) and getting the right fit of scrubs is a big problem for me. Sometimes extra smalls are still a little big does anyone know where I can get scrubs that will work well for me? Thanks

I am also horizontally and vertically challenged! I buy Urbane XX small pants (regular length) and I like the x-small unisex Landau tops. They are both made by the same company so the colors match. The problem is, XXsmall urbane pants only come in two or three colors. Navy is one of them.

Cherokee makes XXS scrubs tops and bottoms and they come in a bunch of colors. The bottoms come in petite sizes, too.

I also buy the Urbane XXS and XS crossover V neck tops. If you order them from www.urbanewarehouse.com you can custom order the pant length for a little extra. They tend to run long.

I, too am small (5 feet, size 1-2) and have a huge problem buying pants. My local scrub shop carries Cherokee flare pants in XXS petite which are still a little big but the best I have found and they come in many colors. Ask your local shops if they can special order for you. I have also found Urbane Scrubs run smaller, so I can wear an extra small. They are also really stylish.
