How to let your scrubs out?

Okay as embarrassing as this is I got my Nursing Uniform in today from Dove Uniforms and with everything going on in my life, I must have gained more weight in places that couldn't be worse for me! I was wondering if there was a way to alter my scrubs to fit more around my waist/hips area maybe let them out or add fabric to them?? I am in process of making myself healthier but sadly I wont be where I want to be in 2 weeks when we start clinical's. I could have the uniforms specially made but could take up to 6 weeks to get them back. Any help would be appreciative! Thank you so much! :confused: :uhoh3:

Are you talking both the top and bottom? I gained weight in between 1st and 2nd year and the pants were tight on me. I just bought white scrub pants and had no issues. My instructors never noticed.

well the top zipped up but it's uncomfortable and the pants definitely I bought some material close to the color and fabric and going to add like an 1" or so hopefully it will work out. And I continue my workout regimen so this wont happen again lol

I've seen some regular scrub tops are made with a strip of stretchy material on both sides. Maybe you could do something like that?
