Best scrubs for pear shaped women?

Good Night,

I originally posted this question in the Uniform forum but it looks like the traffic to that area of the site is pretty low.

In nursing school I had worn mandatory Landau scrubs which tend to fit poorly on me. The medium was too big and the small didn't fit right around the hip/ butt area :uhoh3:. For those of you with a similar body type, what "brand" of scrubs do you recommend I purchase? I have a small waist and a larger hip/butt. I already have a hard time finding jeans that fit RIGHT, hopefully some one out here understands what I mean and can direct me to a descent fitting set of scrubs :o.

how about scrubs that are longer to cover the hips?

Thanks "tobesmartt", Its not so much about "covering up" or concealing the hip, as I would like a bottom that fits well and comfortably.

I'm going to say KOI again.... They have some of the longest shirts I've wore. My friend that I mentioned earlier is 6'2" and they are long enough for her. Try them sometime... I am an apple shape, and my favorite pant is the cherokee work wear flare pants. They are short waisted, have elastic in the back and a drawstring in the front. The tops are okay, but I usually have to buy different sizes in top and bottom. I like Koi tops and I have finally lost enough nursing school weight that I can wear them :yeah:. I want to try iguana scrubs, but haven't tried any on since the weight loss. I am starting a new job where all the RNs have to wear a solid royal/galaxy blue color all the time, which means I have to go buy at least 3 new sets.....

My favorite for my apple-shape is the Grey's Anatomy scrubs. Love 'em.
