Dove Uniforms?

[futureisnear]

I really think these uniforms are so huge and baggy! Everybody I've seen wear them look like their wearing a bag on them...

Do you think you could get away with getting some pants from a uniform store in replace of the unisex pants? There is no other option besides that for me and I'm only 5'2"! The pants are going to be dragging the ground and sizing? I'm so scared I'm going to look like a big tent even in a XS!

I've seen girls in my cohort have the same blue uniform color, but not ones by Dove. They just make sure to sew the patch onto their sleeves. it seems to work for them. Any advice, please help. Thank-you.

Check with your school first! Some schools are very strict and will send you home from clinical if you are not wearing 100% their uniforms. My school was borderline lenient. The pants were whatever black pants we had but the shirt was supposed to be their shirts unless you were too big or pregnant. They went from nice button down white shirts with these bands and patches on them to ugly zippers with the bands and patches. One girl did just sew a patch on a white shirt and no one said anything to her though.

To the OP, I start this fall and i have the same concerns. We havent ordered ours yet, but the moment i do, i am taking them to have alterations done. Length is an issue for me too. Im the same height as you. Maybe take them to your local dry cleaner for a fitting?
