I have had mine for a few months now. They are very good quality, not flimsy at all. The colors are still as bright as the day I got them. I have a plain royal purple scrub top with the baby p[hat emblem in gold on the chest and neither have faded or worn off. I think they are really cute and I get alot of compliments on them. I am getting some more this week because www.allheart.com has them on sale.

I love the way the pants fit but the emblem on the ankle has pretty much worn off on all of my pairs (had them a few months). I don't much care for the tops (too "showy" for me).
They do seem to run a little small though in size. I normally wear a small scrub pant, and with the BP I had to buy a medium.

I would get them but I don't want to spend $19.99 + tax on them.
I am very cheap with my scrubs, I just got 5 tops that were mock wrap cotton for $6.99 each.

You can find them in the clearance section on Lydias on the internet all the time. So look there first. Although, they run in junior sizes so watch the fit. I can't wear them or I will have coin slot showing. Not for the girls with the big bottoms. :smackingf

I love Baby Phats!! fit great, wash well---Woolite, cold h20. I order mine from Lydia's
i agree!!! the $19.99 i saw was the sale price.
i would rather spend $30 on nice clothes for me to wear outside of work.
i just bought a bunch of tops for $6.99 each, and they are awesome, bright colors, very cute.
They are $19.99 at Allheart. I found some here locally for $17.99, the matching jackets for $24. They have some decent prices if you look around. I love the $6.99 tops too, but sometimes it's nice to "get fabulous". Heck, Walmart scrubs in the plain colors are $16.99 for the tops and $15.99 for the bottoms, and I am NOT plus size.

What Brand do you normally wear a small in? I am worried now. I wear a Small in Dickies and I just decided to try the Baby Phat. I think they are really pretty (especially work for a Cosmetic Surgeon, it fits our office). Now I am worried. I spent around $200 and am waiting for them to arrive. I hope I don't have to send them back. I bet I am going to have to send them back for mediums. Yikes. Cherokee I wear an XS. It so hard to go by the size charts because they are never correct. I will find out soon enough.
I just got my Baby Phat scrubs and for the most part I LOVE THEM! I found that the Stretch Line Scrubs fit beautifully. The top is a little loose in a small, but the bottoms fit perfect. Fits perfect around the waist and loose in the legs and I look really slim in them. In reality I have a small waist, big butt, thick thighs, and I am short. I am 5"2" about 119 lbs. The Girlie style scrub top fits great, the pants fit pretty good, maybe a little snug, if they shrink when I was them I am in trouble. But they make my bottom look great, once again I work at a Cosmetic Surgery Facility so they want us to look our best. The Baby Phat City scrub top is wonderful and classy, fits perfect. The bottoms, I don't care for, but I will keep them, they seem to be loose in the waist and slide even when I try tying them. The signature pants are okay, but I want to exchange them for the Stretch Line (I feel like I am working the most comfortable set of pajamas, that look great). It sounds like they would be form fitting, but they are not. If I were to wash and dry the pants and if they were to shrink in size I would have plenty of room for shrinkage. Crazy how each style fits differently. The Wild Kingdom actually fits a little tight, but if I were to drop five pounds it would fit perfect. I am working out a lot now, so I am going to go for it. My hips are the problem with the top and bottoms in the wild kingdom. But it still looks good. I cannot wait to put them to use. It really fits with our practice at the Luxxery Medical Boutique.
If you have any questions about the Baby Phat I will gladly help. I may have to buy more Stretch ones soon, OMG they feel so good. I want a pair to just wear around the house. I love them. They are great!!!!
All styles do fit differently, so be careful. I could have probably got away with a M in pants with the Girlie and the Signature, but I am scared to exchange them and then they be way to big. We will see. I will keep the tags and after a wash and a dry and they shrink, then I will be contacting the company if that happens to that particular pair. But so far I LOVE THEM!!!! Stretch Style Feels the best. And the fits the best for my figure. It helps slenderize the thigh.
I think I have gone Baby Phat, when I use to wear my Dickies. I will still wear them, but I have found a new love for scrubs!
