Scrubs for tall women

Published

Hi. I'm really tall and really skinny so looking for scrubs that fit is nearly impossible . Where can I get scrub bottoms that are long enough, but actually fit (not baggy unisex ones)??? I found a couple of really old threads related to this topic, but they weren't much help. I'm 5'11, 145 lbs, and I need an inseam of at least 36". Surely I'm not the only skinny, giant nurse out there;). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I like Cherokee Workwear. I get mine from scrubs and beyond. There is also a company called lydia's scrubs (online and catalog) that I shop from. There are plenty of styles and colors to choose from.

Hi, there. I was actually shopping for scrubs and work uniforms in Dallas earlier today due to weight loss, since all of the uniforms I currently own are now baggy and fitting sloppily. My problem is the exact opposite of yours: I'm very short (5'1). :)

The uniform store I shopped at today had special sections for petites, talls, and mediums. The makers of the tall scrub bottoms were Dickies, Cherokee workwear, and WS Essentials (White Swan). Of course, I was shopping in the petite section. Good luck!

Try Aviator scrubs. I'm 6-3 with a 36" inseam, and had a difficult time finding off the rack scrubs anywhere. I finally ordered from Aviator, and that's all I wear. They will hem to any length you want. The scrubs are comfortable and indestructable.

Try uniform advantage, they have the inseam listed, and most styles have tall available.

I am short 5'4" and I just gave a bunch of Cheorkee (regular inseam) to my 5'10" friend and they were too long for her. I looked like I was going to a rave in them. It is the Cherokee style that is flared and split at the flare a little. I'm not sure if all Cherokee pants are this long or not.

I don't think all Cherokee pants are that long. I'm 5'9" and in order for the regular length to fit me I had to pull them down to below my hips and then I had a saggy crotch, so needless to say they didn't work. So, I had to order a size Medium L and they are a bit too long and I have to have them hemmed about an inch or more. Oh, and these were the same style your talking about...low rise, flare. Being that the "OP" is 5'11" the Long lengths will probably be perfect for you. I know what you're going through and I hate...even though I've dealt with it my whole life. Ugggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!:angryfire

I'm 6' tall and I have had good luck with Lydia's Pro-Series tall scrub pants. They're still slightly short but don't look anywhere near as ridiculous as the other "tall" pants I've tried. Mens also work well, as far as length goes, but most of them have that tapered ankle and I don't like that style.

hi, i don't know if u ever found tall scrubs or not, but im 5'11 also and i can't buy scrubs in the stores either. But, i purchased different tall scrub makers and the ones that fit the best are baby phat tall flare scrubs, cherkoee tall scrubs, the 4101T style, its flared and slitted at the bottom, and landau are straight legged put fit pretty well, if u prefer the straight style. I buy it from allheart.com, but its usually out of stock and always on back order, so im looking into a site that ships faster. hope this helps, sorry 4 my errors..

I actually bought a couple of the unhemmed pants and they are loooooong. I'm so happy that I finally found scrubs long enough and small enough to fit me. They also have quick shipping and great customer service. Thanks.

I am so glad you found some pants...I used to dread needing new scrubs because I hated trying to find pants that fit.
