As you all know, I was patiently (ok, impatiently) waiting for the return of Grey’s Anatomy. And of course I forgot to watch it the first week it was on and then had other obligations the second week it was on, but thanks to the Internet and television online I’m all caught up…and also thoroughly annoyed with Rose for professing her love for Derek, but that’s a whole different blog post.


 

Since I’ve begun working at Lydia’s Uniforms, I can’t help but take notice of what everyone on the show is wearing. Now that I’ve seen all the different styles, colors and prints of scrubs that are available from Lydia’s it made me think that most of the characters don’t get too creative when they buy medical scrubs. Most of their hospital uniforms consist of the same blue scrubs and a lab coat. Of course, that might just be the dress code at Seattle Grace.

 

Now don’t get me wrong, I do think their blue scrubs look great on them and they all seem to fit really well. I just thought that for how stylish those doctors are outside of Seattle Grace Hospital that they would at least want to add a little something extra to their hospital uniforms. I guess between all the personal drama and hospital drama, there’s no time for deciding what to wear to work. And in that case, I think it’s best that they stick to scrubs that they know look good.  


 

So what I think they should do to spice up their uniforms is to stick with their blue scrubs and add new lab coats. The ladies could wear more fitted lab coats, like this one from Urbane. Or everyone at the hospital could have their lab coats embroidered. They could use the Seattle Grace Logo, or their names. Would it be too much if Mark’s lab coat said McSteamy? Probably. Maybe they could just stick to the hospital logo.


 

What do you think about the Grey’s Anatomy scrubs? Has anyone tried the Grey’s Anatomy line from Lydia’s? I love how this top has the subtle empire waist and the big front pockets. What do you think?

Last month Rachel and Leesa decided to take our product for a test drive and wear a pair of scrubs around the office for a day. Unfortunately I didn’t work here yet; otherwise maybe I could have been the one coming to work in a pair of comfy medical scrubs! Perhaps I can convince them that we need to have scrub Monday, in addition to casual Friday. Then I could buy medical scrubs to wear to work instead of the normal office apparel. I’m not going to count on that though.


This month, instead of having
Lydia’s employees do a road test of the scrubs, we decided to let a customer try it. Our customers are the ones who are working hard, moving about and putting their uniforms to the test on a daily basis, so why not hear what they have to say about their scrubs from Lydia’s.  

Scrub TopOur customer, Kassie, tested a pair of Katherine Heigl scrubs from her New York Collection and answered a few of our questions.

 
What are your thoughts on the fit of the scrubs?

I absolutely love them!  The tops are flattering, and have a professional look and they don't make you feel like you are wearing a box like some other tops. The pants don't quite fit perfectly, if you have wider hips, they hug that area. I love the flare bottom with the slit on the outside of the leg. I got several compliments on both the bottoms and the tops. The small details that went into making these scrubs really show.  I love the black stitching on the white, and it's even better on the black collar with the white stitching.  That is what gives these scrubs their own personality.


 

What are your likes/dislikes about the scrubs? What do these scrubs have that other brands do not?

These scrubs are definitely different than all the other brands out there.  You can tell that she put thought into what she was designing.

Have you received any compliments on them?
Oh my, everyone at work complimented me on them, and when I told them they were Katherine Heigl, they were floored and started calling me Grey’s Anatomy girl.  No one had seen any of her scrubs yet.


Do you have any anecdotes about your scrubs to share with us?
The only anecdote that I have is that I need to lose some weight in my hips! No scrub can help me with that!  Haha

 

So it sounds like Kassie is pretty happy with her Katherine Heigl scrubs, even if they did get her the nickname “Grey’s Anatomy Girl”. There’s nothing wrong with being the first person at work to have the newest designer medical scrubs. And instead of trying to make her hips smaller (because we all know that losing weight from our hips is virtually impossible) maybe she could try out a pair of Cherokee Flex-I-Bles Scrub Pants, I hear they’re quite flattering.

           

Does anyone else have scrubs from Katherine Heigl’s New York collection? What do you think about them? Do you agree with Kassie?

If so, I want to hear about it!  Did you buy medical scrubs, only to have a seam come undone at the wrong time?  Did the button fall off your lab coat, only to reveal the stain on your shirt from lunch?  Were the only hospital uniforms left two sizes too small?
