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 feel nakey without my wires. I've been wearing underwire since 6th grade.

If you gain or lose weight you need to go see one of those really old ladies with the glasses hanging on the chain around their necks and the tape measure wrapped around them like a scarf.

They are usually very short (not necessarily petite!) , smell of mothballs, and work in finer department stores. YES, they will pinch you and feel you up and call you "hun", but they will measure the heck out of your girls, and get you the best fitting bra ever.

I need to get re-fitted for a bra but I keep losing weight since I had my son & gee whiz are those things expensive!

I am 6 foot, 130 lbs, no boobs (I wear yoga lounge bras because I don't fit in "regular" bras), I have thin wide shoulders and a very square frame and oh yes! A tiny a** which my SO loves lol. I tried on multiple brands and had no luck with Greys anatomy or Koi as they were too short and too tight around the shoulders in the small sizes. I'll post a link to my favorite pants that I buy in xsmall tall and a unisex top from cherokee in an xxsmall that fits me well. It is a bit crunchy at first but I'm ok with that because it's long around the hips so I don't have to worry about my crack hanging out and it has slits on both sides too add a little "flair". I roll up the sleeves once and wear a contrasting long sleeve shirt underneath. I have a sort of hippie edge outside of work and I wanted to be a fashion designer back in the day so I'm picky about my clothes, comfort and style. ;)

Urbane makes slim fitted tops but you have to get the newer style that is longer. The down side is their tops can be a bit snug if you have large breast.

I wear healing hands purple label tops and greys anatomy 5 pocket petite bottoms. Honestly, the pants are a little short, but being in my ER I would rather wear floods than pants that are closer to the dirty floor any day. Plus the pocket at the knee is perfect for quick access to iv needles and flushes. Greys and healing hands use suuuper soft, comfortable fabrics that don't wrinkle as much as others. I think healing hands has the most flattering scrubs of any I've tried.

I'm 5'6 and 124 lbs for reference

Try heart soul or Grey's anatomy. I tried on a new pair of Grey's i hadn't before and they fit great and the heart soul brand too. They fit perfect!

If it will last, feels good, and looks even better I'LL PAY FOR IT. lol thanks again, cracklin'.

So, update on what worked for you in the end?

I'm a guy, but have the same problem. Either too short our too baggy. Or fitted for female nurses :-(

Any ideas out there?

Will Carrhart scrubs work for you? I like the way these look on men. Plus they have lots of pockets, etc. I've seen filled out guys wear them as well as slimmer male nurses wear them.
