What Scrub brands run the largest?

I'm rather large and I assume I'm not the only nurse out there that has trouble finding scrubs over a size 3xl. As embarrassed as I am to admit this I don't fit into 3x with most scrub brands, and most brands only go up to a 3x if I'm lucky. Does anybody have an idea of what brands run the largest? I've had good luck with Landau, but they don't have the prettiest styles if I'm being honest. Cherokee Luxe has extended sizes and pretty styles. Does anybody have experience with those?

I think Cherokee makes a good product, especially in the Luxe lines. I would go to a store where you could try on different styles, but I wear Cherokee and like them!

I like Cherokee Workwear Stretch. I wear 3XL in the top - I'm very busty and they fit well without looking too much like a tent and still allowing me full ROM of my arms. The bottoms I wear XL petite (short legs) and they run big.

Uniform Advantage makes "Butter Soft" scrubs which go up to 5x. The material is very soft, lightweight, and comfy. I find their tops run big but the bottoms are true to size. Run a search on their size based on size. You can sometimes find a coupon for shipping if you google it.

I hear that Tafford brand scrubs run larger. I am waiting to pass NCLEX on June 6th before I start buying a bunch of new scrubs, which I will probably buy some from Tafford since I am a larger lady myself. Cherokee brands are pretty generous in their sizing as well. I like to wear the flexibles but I have to wear a long cami underneath them because they seem to run short.

WonderWink Wonderflex goes up to 5x and they are stretchy and SO comfy!

I'll have to try those out!

I did wind up buying Cherokee luxe in a 4x and I'm so comfortable! They don't hug me too tight, they stretch well, are nice and cool, AND they're actually pretty! More than I could ever ask for! I also bought White Swan skirts in a 4x and they're perfect!
