Scrubs Shrinkage

[Fraggle]

I just got my first scrubs for a nurse extern job this summer. We can wear any kind we want. So I ordered LA Rose pants. All of them fit a little differently, though they're all the same size and color. I can deal.

But I ordered 4 printed tops from Fashion Scrubs, LA Rose, and one other brand I can't remember. The Larges are kind of big. I always wear large size tops, though. Sometimes XL if my chest doesn't fit :chuckle Are scrub tops sized large? If I wash them, will they shrink up? Or should I exchange for a Medium?

I think they all vary from brand to brand. Did you order them or get them at a store? We have found at my workplace that alomost everything we order has to be sent back and exchanged for smaller sizes. We don't have much to pick from, either, because we have to were Navy blue pants every single day, and of course, a top that matches (can be printed or solid).

So, personally, I prefer to go to the stores if at all possible. I am rather short, and even the "petites" are usually inches too long.

I bought them online. I had to buy the pants online b/c I need talls . So I just bought the shirts online too.

You will find out that all companies size differently. I wear mediums and smalls, depending on the brand. It does suck, but eventually you know what company does what1
