The Cherokee Flexibles Maternity Scrub Top features an adjustable drawstring, empire waist, soft stretchy knit side panels, contrast topstitching on the front and back princess seams, a patch pocket, a pager pocket, a hidden pocket and is 27" long, made with 65% polyester/35% cotton and the contrasting waistband is made of 88% polyester/12% spandex.

Here is a review from our customer dentaljulie in Metairie, LA:

Cute Maternity Top

This top is very comfortable and cute! I was 5'4"/125 lbs./36E pre-pregnancy and ordered a Medium due to being large chested. I bought the top at 6months and am now almost 8 months and it is still very comfortable due to the adjustable drawstring at the bust. Will probably wear this top even after I deliver.

Dickies Medical Uniforms: This same attention to quality and appreciation of the American worker that has built Dickies into the number one manufacturer of work apparel is built into every medical garment bearing the Dickies name. In addition to hard working classic scrub designs we are proud to also offer the latest in medical workplace fashion for healthcare workers.

The Dickies Everyday Mock Wrap Empire Waist Scrub Top features front darts, set-in sleeves, side vents, two slanted front patch pockets and is made with 65% polyester/35% cotton, 24 1/2" long.

 

 

Here is a review from our customer SCraig in Walnut Creek, CA:

Awesome Value & Fit!

I absolutely LOVE this top! I can't say it enough--the cut is very flattering. I am a size 16/18, so sometimes these styles can look like maternity tops on, but this one does NOT--it is very flattering, and I am very comfortable in it. I bought the XL, and it is perfect size-wise. Shrunk very little. I love the pockets and the empire waist. I will be buying several more in different colors. Couldn't ask for a better price, either! Way to go, Dickies!

 

 

When shopping for maternity clothes (whether it's for work or not) comfort is key! And these two tops from Cherokee Flexibles provide all the comfort you need. The stretch side panels allow for easy movement and the drawstring empire waist is perfect for adjustments as you grow throughout your pregnancy. Plus, you can't go wrong with the flattering style and fun prints! The top on the left is the Dots Wonderful Maternity Scrub Top and the top on the right is the Garden Botanica Maternity Scrub Top.

Cherokee Medical Scrubs offer a line of hospital uniforms that are superior in fit, quality and fashion! They also have a line of Maternity Scrubs that are exactly what you are looking for. The Cherokee Flexibles Maternity Scrub Pant is a favorite of ours and our customers!

This pant is bold, stylish, form-flattering and super-comfortable. Flexibles feature stretch panels that bring a touch of soft, supple comfort while shaping you with a bold contrasted look.

It features a flare leg, a soft and stretchy tummy panel that grows with you, contrast top stitching on knit panel, double cargo pockets, and side vents with a 31" inseam. The body is made from 65% polyester/35% cotton and the contrasting waistband is made of 88% polyester/12% spandex.

Here's a review from our customer Rosa in Scranton, PA:

Comfortable and great stretch!

Great maternity pants! Got the black. They're the only pants that fit and I'm 38 1/2 weeks pregnant. Got the Small size. They're soft and keep their color well. The matching black top with the stretch sides were also a good purchase. Love that doesn't have the white pouch like some of my navy blue maternity pants. Good quality. Would buy again.

Cherokee Flexibles 100% Cotton Dots Wonderful Maternity Scrub Top I LOVE LOVE LOVE this top! It's the most comfortable top I have and look forward to wearing it each week. It's flattering. I actually look pregnant when I wear it, not just fat. The right front pocket snagged on a patient's counter and ripped, but an iron-on patch fixed it right up.

Also includes NIC and NOC lists.
