Finding Dresses

Published

Specializes in thoracic ICU, ortho/neuro, med/surg.

I know I'm in the minority here in the USA, but I like wearing dresses to work. I'm finding it really difficult, however, to find them!! Especially in colours or patterns like dots or stripes, which I also like. I've noticed if I google for nurse dresses, I can find them in the UK (like at this place http://www.grahamegardner.co.uk/ ), but a lot of the companies don't seem to ship over to the USA.

Does anyone know where I can find cute, coloured scrub dresses?

A local uniform shop should be able to order them for you, have you tried that?

I found these two sites. I don't see patterned ones, but several styles had color options.

I did try this, and everyone said they haven't ordered them for ages and/or didn't have any choices to offer me!

Uniform City stores used to carry some, though you might have to email the company to see what can be ordered.

For whites, Redding Medical, carries some. Some are a bit dressy - also used as usher dresses for church. But some are also used for Orthodox Jewish nurses and have longer/adjustable hems. Slightly longer and more modest.

Hi Zombi LPN,
