Short and thin..WHERE can I get scrubs that FIT?!!

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Ok, I hate this (please don't flame me, I am not complaining about my weight!) . I cannot find scrubs that fit me! I am 4 11 (barely) and around 95-100lbs (depending on the day LOL). Seems that they (the makers of clothing) think that if you are short you are also squat, and if your thin well then you must be tall! I can find them to fit in length (sort of) but they HANG off me and if I find them to fit correctly, I could make 3 pairs with the extra length!! GRRR.

And honestly, I won't even consider buying them and having them altered. I've done that before and it ends up costing more to alter them than it did to buy them!

So, any other short and thin ladies that can toss a few suggestions for brands to try? Internet purchasing isn't an option since I would actually have to try them on.

I just got a catalogue in the mail today from tafford uniforms (www.tafford.com). They have xxs. I planned on giving it to my SIL who is just as petite as you. The smallest size they carry is size0: Bust 32"; Waist 23" and Hip 33"....they also come in petite inseam at 28". They have a good range of colors and a few cute patterns. Hope this helps!

I had this problem when I had lost 20 lbs. after surgery. Radiance is a brand of scrubs sold at my local scrub shop that come in XXS. Their bottoms were the only ones that wouldn't fall off my hips when I was really tiny. They are pretty cheap at the store here, about $16. I think they come in petite and tall, too...the man at my store said he could special order the size and colors I wanted. Urbane makes an XXS that can be special ordered too but I didn't try them.
