Scrub Alterations?

Hello everyone!

I'm a very small woman, so finding scrubs that I don't drown in is difficult. After the original price of the uniforms plus alterations, it will come to about $300 so I want to make sure they're done correctly.

The problem is, with my scrubs being so small as it is, the front bottom pockets are smaller than normal. Normally, when scrubs are altered, they're taken in from the sides. But if I did that, it would make my already small pockets smaller (about 2" on each side). So the seamstress proposed we take those two inches from the back, which will leave a seam down the middle of my back.

Nursing schools like to see that their students are uniform in appearance to each other. My question is, do you think the seam will be too much of a change to the uniform? If so, should I just deal with smaller pockets?

I'm probably worrying about this too much. It's just that $300 is quite a large investment and I'd hate to have to fork over another $300.

Thanks everyone!
