LARGE THIGHS & DERRIERE
Lengthen your look and accentuate your smaller areas while minimizing your lower body.
 Long Tunic |
 Moderate Flare Leg Pant |
DOs
- Wear longer tunic styles that cover the rear end and thighs.
- Look for tops with longer side slits/vents.
- Choose pants with a straight leg or moderate flare leg. A boot cut will be good as well.
- If you are petite, wearing a slim/skinny leg or straight leg will help lengthen your look, give you a shapely body and make your legs look slimmer.
- If you have a small waist and small upper body (torso), try a slimming top that accentuates your waist or the area above your waist (such as an empire style). Drawstring pants are also recommended, as you can adjust your waist if your waist is small but you have a large derriere.
DON’Ts
- Avoid skintight pants.
- Avoid heavy fabrics; opt for soft and drapy or stretchy fabrics.
I have no butt, big thighs, and a big chest… Any suggestions

Licensed Practical Nurse
There were a lot of young/trendy fashions featured here. How about something for the older nurses? Also, I know I am not the only plus size nurse in the world. It would be useful to address the needs of women with plus size bodies. I certainly don’t want to be wearing low-rise pants, which would really look sloppy and wrong on an old mama like me, who has a kangaroo pouch!
A lot of the uniform companies have gone to making shorter sleeves–practically no sleeves at all–and I have to go a size up just to find a scrub top that will fit my arms! It’s sooooo annoying!
