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?

Petite refers to height, not weight. If you are under five feet four inches, you are considered petite, whether you are 100 pounds or 300 pounds.

No, no, no, petite is short and slim!

Short and 300 pounds is NOT petite.

I was once petite. Now I'm just "curvy"

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:

I'm very thin and most scrubs make me look very unkempt and unprofessional. Even in the smallest size.

I'm a brick house. It's unfortunate I even have to wear clothes.

I always thought petite was about how thin you were. Lol i've been called petite and slim my whole life.

& I've NEVER heard of a 300lb petite person.

Well then, me and my 255lb self will smile and think of you when I slip into my 2X *PETITE* scrub pants. 'Cause my legs are short and I wear pants labeled *PETITE* as reference to a shorter hemline than average.

Op some of my tinier coworkers seem to really like Grey's Anatomy and koi scrubs.

Grey's Anatomy is good because it does come in at the waist and it is A line, and they do have "petite" (Yes, they need the app as well) aka "short" pants, which I need, as I am under 5'3".

Koi tops are not good for bigger cup sizes.

I don't think I'm petite (5'5", 115lb), but Grey's Anatomy scrubs fit me really well. However, they are expensive (for me personally) so the only ones I have I got from a thrift store :laugh: I thought petite meant short (

I hate my height (5'4") - too tall for petite, but regular pants are too long and get all frayed at the bottom.

And don't even get me started on "maxi dresses". :(
