Shrinking scrubs, help!- Dickies W line

Published

Specializes in Mother and Baby.

Does anyone know if the Dickies W line shrinks a lot? I just bought my first pair and they are huge. I can't return them, so I was going to have them tailored, but afraid to create a new problem if they shrink too much after alteration. Help!

Why don't you wash them in hot water and dry them first and then get them tailored...

I wash all my scrubs in the hottest water possible and dry on the highest heat and haven't had my dickies w line scrubs shrink....

Yeah, I wore Dickies W all through nursing school and they never shrank. Good luck!
