I got some hips, can't find scrub tops

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

I live in the middle of nowhere so I can't just run down to the uniform store and try on all the different styles. I a hippy gal and my hips are one entire size larger than my shoulders. I would love to find an A-line scrub top, but noting pops up in any of my google searches. Is there anyone out there who is pear-shaped and has trouble finding tops? Please include a link to a style.

Have you tried amazon? You can purchase different size pants and tops. If you know your measurements, you can use the sizing charts online. I have purchased scrubs from most of the popular brands online like cherokee, Greys Anatomy, and Dickies without issues. The reviews also give you pretty good feedback.

ETA: I did find A-line scrub tops at a scrub store where I was able to try them on. I have a short torso and I find a lot of scrub shirts run long. They were Grey's anatomy brand, but I don't remember the exact style. It may be worth a trip to your nearest uniform store if you are having trouble finding a style you like!

Sorry -- I don't have a link to the style, but do you sew? I made my own scrub tops for years. If you don't sew, there might be someone in your family or in your neighborhood that can custom make scrubs for you. My friend says the cost is reasonable, and she feels so much more put together wearing scrubs made to fit her.

I have the same issue. The scrub tops with stretchy sides work well for our body type. I have had good luck also with iFlex by Cherokee and Dickies brand. Frequently I will wear a tshirt with a zip jacket instead of a scrub top as well.

Try Uniform Advantage - they sell on-line and they have very helpful sales people through Chat that can help you find the right top to fit. The scrubs the sell are fashionable, well made and reasonably priced.

I ended up finding some scrubs that work. @mimibrown , I do purchase different sized tops and bottoms but the tops themselves don't fit well because the part that comes over my hips is too tight if I buy a size that fits my shoulders. @Ruby Vee , I wish I could sew! That would make this whole situation so much easier.

Seems like most the styles these days are super fitted, but I was able to find a comfy pair that was stretchy and straight sided, not fitted. They are not A-line like I hoped but they fit well and are very comfortable. Here is the link:

I've worn them to work for one week and are loving them.
