DOs

  • V-necks, boat necks and scoop necks are great.
  • Square necks are also good, as long as the cut isn’t too high on the neckline.
  • Try slightly plunged and open necklines.
  • Choose an item in a mid-weight to lightweight fabric.
  • Create a V-shape neckline with an additional layer. For instance, layer over a high neckline with a tailored lab coat or warm-up jacket to form a V-shape neckline. This is quite effective, especially when the additional layer is left unbuttoned.

DON’Ts

  • Avoid high necklines and crew cuts. These styles can make the bust look even bigger.
  • Weather permitting, also try to avoid turtlenecks. The bosom will seem as if it starts from under the chin instead of below the shoulder line.
  • Avoid heavy, bulky fabrics.

    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!
