Scrubs for the slim

Published

Specializes in L&D.

What is a really great brand of scrubs that fit slim girls? Im on the long and petite side and it's difficult to find scrub top that dont make me look frumpy or are too short for my torso. What brands would you recommend that are slightly fitted or fit a little more snugly on those of us who are slim?

Nope. I'm neither long, nor petite. I wear Cherokee.

I was just trying to figure out the logistics of long and petite. Seems like an oxymoron.

Ah. I see. Well some people are short and petite (such as a 5'1" 98lb woman). And some people are long and petite (such as a 5'11" 135 lb woman) like myself.

Grey's Anatomy might fit you perfectly. I'm petite but not long. And those scrubs were too long but fit perfectly (5'4", 120 lb)

Hey - I'm a PLUS PLUS size gal and my clothes are sold as PETITE for my sizes!

Has something to do with the fact that I'm a shortie. If I don't buy the 'petite' size, inseams are way down and my slack hems drag. Tops drape low too.

OP may be long (or short) in the torso or she could be 'all legs' (like Julia Roberts, a fav).

OP, you may have to go thru specialty catalogues (Lane Bryant carries scrubs).

And they feel wondrous. They're extremely comfy. A bit pricey, but well worth the investment, in my opinion.

I totally get you on the inseam thing. Except mine is the exact opposite. A fitting top is almost always too short. Im alll legs and alll torso if that makes sense. Little bit of Butt and Hips, but almost NO boobs (23 and a STILL an A-cup). Lolol thanks so much. I'll take a look at Lane Bryant.
