Scrubs for the slim

Published

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?

I am short and slim, and Gray's Anatomy does have shape. Be aware that they run small. I am a little over 100lbs and I could barely pull on the XS top. If you have a chance to actually try some on, I would recommend it.

The Koi Justine top is supposed to run long according to reviews and is fitted. An extra small or small may fit you perfectly!

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.

You can always say "ectomorph" as the technical term :)

Ummm isn't the beauty of scrubs that they are frumpy aka comfy? I guess its a good thing I'm not wearing them any more. Despite having a relatively decent bod back in the day I must have been out of touch because I definitely wasn't at work looking all that alluring, lol. :facepalm:

You might try Jockey. My Jockey scrubs are so soft, they feel like pajamas, and they do have XLong.

Tall, I can see having an issue with clothes fitting, but slim? Come ON.

Yeah frumpy scrubs are SUPER comfortable, but make me look BLEH. Like a string bean. Long and shapeless.

Long AND petite? How does that work?

I have a long torso and short legs. I feel the pain. I'm not slim though, so can't help ya there OP.

I am 5'3" and 110 lbs. I have Wonder Wink. Bought them on Amazon. They fit great!

If you're saying petite because you're thin with a very narrow build, then I have the same problem except I think you're much taller! Anyway, my major problems with scrubs are shoulder width and hip/seat "roominess" (even though I have a larger backside proportionally). The ones that work best for me are the Greys Anatomy junior styles and Wink brand styles that come in xxs. Edited to add if you want my dimensions I can give them to you in a message - seemed a little personal for a nursing board post :p

Med Couture is my favorite. The pants come in tall sizes (they also have regular & petite- their word for short). Also, some of the top styles are a little longer than others. I like the way they fit & feel- and that some of the pants have lots of pockets. But they do shrink a little & will fade some, especially the darker colors.
