Scrub tops sizing question for pear-shaped body

[Technicalglitch]

I'm changing to a workplace where I have to wear scrubs and I haven't worn them in decades. They've changed a lot since I last wore them and I have a question on sizing, since I will be buying from the internet - I am small-busted but have relatively large hips despite being slim. By bust I would be totally an XS on any item, since that size is for under 34" which I am well under, but my hips are 38.5 which would make me a medium for the bottom part of the scrub top!

What size top should I get, a small? Will a small fit over my hips? Will the upper part be totally too loose? I always hated scrubs for their looseness and unflattering fit - seems that there are nice options out there now that are more form-fitting, but my pear-shaped body is an outlier for these.

Here is my recommendation. If at all possible, go to an actual store that sells many different brands of scrubs. The sizing and fit varies between different brands. I am somewhat pear shape as well, and I wear Koi, Urbane/Landau, and WonderWink mostly. Koi is my favorite brand. You should try different brands, styles and sizes, and THEN you can go online and find what you liked in the store and order online.

If you don't have a store near by, I would recommend looking for empire waist styles, or tops that don't have low neck lines. Good Luck!

Thanks Tornado, for the tips. I did end up making the trek to an actual store yesterday - I was lucky, I tried on mostly the Grey's Anatomy brand and to my shock they actually fit my pear-shaped physique without going too baggy on the top. Scrubs are way nicer than they used to be - the fabrics are so soft, and the v-necks can't be peered down like they could in the old days (a certain segment of the male population is no doubt very disappointed!)

The only downside is they are hard to wiggle into, and nearly impossible to wiggle out of, but I have figured out a technique and didn't have to cut myself out of them.

Med Coutour has been great. I just buy a size smaller in tops than I do in bottoms. I am pear shaped myself. Low rise cargo pants have been working for my hips.
