I am tiny and need help finding scrubs that will actually fit!

[kaimkaim]

I start my first day of orientation for my first RN position tomorrow and my greys anatomy scrub pants are HUGE on me. I am going to have my sister attempt to alter them through the thighs and all the way down the leg tonight. (I'm not one to wait until the last minute but when I put my scrubs on with this cute white jacket I got the other day I realized I had forgotten how ridiculous I look in them! I look like a 4 year old who went through her dad's closet and dressed up in his clothes. So unprofessional looking.)

I have a pair of cherokee brand XXS scrub pants that I can wear as a back up in case she ruins my greys anatomy pants (haha..... :/ ). I would just wear the cherokee brand pants but the cherokee brand top that I have (also in XXS) is also HUUUUGE. I guess what I'm asking is if anyone knows of a brand of scrubs that actually fit really unusually tiny people. I'm 5'3 105lbs, I've just always been small. I just wore both sets of scrubs throughout school and sucked it up and felt frumpy the whole time. I do not plan on doing that for my entire nursing career. Helllllp!

I didn't realize that scrubs came in XXS! I've been buying XS pants with drawstrings (no elastic bands) and hemming them myself for 4 years. I really don't worry about the legs of my pants being loose because I get the cargo pocket ones. I didn't have to hem my Dickies XS Petite pants, and I'm only 5'.

As far as tops, I look for ones that have a sash or tie on them; it tapers the shirt in without having to alter it.

I've had good luck with Peaches, but Cherokee and Landau are always so big on me. I bought a size S Landau top from a thrift store out of desperation--I needed another set of scrubs and had very little money to spare-- and I swear it would probably fit two of me at once!
