I wear a 12-14 in jeans...I usually wear a large in say, misses yoga pants from Target. I'm thinking a stretch scrub pants would be best. I don't know what size to order. My hips are 43 (yikes) but I don't just want them to fit, but also be flattering and not make me look bigger than I am. Anyone know if Cherokee flexibles are any good? I'm in the process of losing 50 pounds but obviously my job's going to start months before I'll have significant progress. I'm 5'7" and my legs are really curvy..meaning they have a strong angle from my hips to my knees inward --if that's even relevant.I've always felt more supported in pants with big elastic waistbands. Even though I'm a "pear" I'm self conscious about my lower stomach and like the support of a non-drawstring pant.
I read here that someone wore a size 14 in regular pants and they wore a medium in scrub pants ---is this true??I was going to order a large according to the size charts but will they be too big??
It might be worth driving a bit to find a good uniform store. There is one about 35 minutes from me; they have a generic uniform shop and then a strictly-nursing shop on the other side of the parking lot. The selection is absolutely worth the drive! Maybe try posting in your region's forum and see where nurses in your area shop.
I have never ordered any online. Koi can be found in scrub shops. I would highly recommend trying them on first - the different brands can vary in how they fit. I can't wear Cherokee. They are not made for short people. I look dumpy in them and I am skinny.
My favorite brand is Greys anatomy but they don't manufacture my uniform color : (
not to give away my favorite brand to drive their already high prices even higher....
KOI makes the BEST pants ever. Especially if you don't like them super tight, if you love for your butt to look better, great cargo pockets, great placement of pockets on the front/back, and great fabric. Just great, can't say enough about them. Other than the price being a little... pricey, but still SO much better than any other brand. If you have a smaller waist, more generous butt and not stick legs, you'll like KOI. Stay away from Landau, Dickies (Yikes for someone with athletic butt/legs), and pretty much all the others.
UA makes some great ones. Peaches too.
I go between an 8 to a 10... so mediums in KOI are perfect. Peaches makes great roomy pants that fit in the waist. I like room to really be cozy at work, not all constrained.
Now can someone tell me a perfect TOP for someone with swimmer's shoulders and not a huge chest (a normal size) to boot? I have to find everything to fit my shoulder width first. It stinks!

Anyone know if Koi and other brands can be found in store and not just online?
The only store around me is SuperShoes but I dont know if they have many brands.
