Get Comfort and Style from Flex-Stretch Scrubs

Friday, September 3, 2010 by Liza Guikema
Last week I had the chance to stop by a Lydia's photo shoot- I love going behind the scenes! The models looked amazing in their scrubs from Lydia's and of course I had to ask them what looks they liked best. I talked with Rebecca and found out that she's a huge fan of the Flex-Stretch Scrubs.

My favorite outfit was the Flex-Stretch by Cherokee Flexibles. This top has a very stylish neckline that isn’t cut too low. The side panels were a great feature that added comfort and flexibility to move easier. And the pockets were very roomy, making it ideal for nurses on the go!

The scrubs pants are unbelievably comfortable. Everything from the waistband of the pants to the fabric made it feel like anything but a uniform! The elastic waistband was very nice and provided extra support. The flare leg style made it very fashionable and many pockets made it perfect for storing accessories. These are definitely pants that I would purchase for casual wear since they were so comfortable. The color I wore was Cinnabar. It is a great fall color and looks great on!

Product Review: Grey's Anatomy by Barco Junior Fit V-Neck Scrub Top

Friday, August 13, 2010 by Liza Guikema

Awesome Scrubs

"I have been wearing scrubs for 24 years and this style on the Greys scrubs is awesome. The material flows so nicely and doesn't look slept in. These are the best scrubs I have ever worn. They look very sharp and taylored, not the unisex style that one size fits all!! I wish they had more of these. I have them in 3 different colors! Someone finally "got it" about making scrubs that look nice."

Employees Review our New Lydia's Line

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 by Mandy Lovell

We are so excited about our new Lydia's line we had to test them out for ourselves. I asked a few Lydia's employees to try them on and share what they thought of these medical scrubs. Find out what they had to say!

I tried on the new Pro Stretch Cha Cha Top in the color Aqua and the Swing Pants in Steel Grey. I love that the material is light weight and stretches with movement! I tried the scrub top in large (my normal size) and the fit was great and roomy in the chest area. The gathered back detail definitely gives the top a fitted and feminine look!

The pants were very comfortable throughout the waist, hip and thigh areas.  However, the length of these pants was a bit short on me since I usually wear a 34 inch inseam and this style is offered in a 31" inseam. Overall, I liked the look, feel and comfort of this medical uniform!
              

-Liz, Special Sales Representative





I tried on our Lydia's Pro Stretch
Jitterbug Top in Pink Blush/Navy. The top was great! It was soft and comfortable. The stretch knit side panels give you so much movement. Being large chested I was a little scared that it wouldn't fit in that area and I was surprised to have so much room.
 
I also tried our Lydia's Pro Stretch
Mambo Pant in Navy. These pants had a lot of movement to them as well. Being short (barley reaching 5'2) these pants were a little long on me. I flipped the waistband over for a perfect length. I also love all of the pockets that these pants have. I believe that the Jitterbug Top and Mambo Pant tend to run slightly large.      
 
-Lori, Call Center Team Leader





I am in love with the new Pro Stretch scrubs!  I tried on the
Tango Top in Chocolate/Pink Blush and the Salsa Pants in Chocolate.  I tried on the size that I would normally wear and they fit just right.  I am 5’4” and the length on the pants was close to being too long, but as long as I wore the New Nurse Mates Bryar or the Dansko Professional Clog that have a little bit of height to them it was a perfect length. The material is very rich looking because it has sheen to it.  They are comfortable to wear, the stretch allows for movement without feeling confined.   So, if I were required to wear scrubs for a uniform these are definitely what I would pick.

Review

Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Guest Blogger
Hi! I have been ordering from Lydia's for years. When I wore my most recent scrubs to work, my co-workers went crazy over the cute pattern (White cross 2 pocket scoop neck top in Pear Daises). I brought my catalog to work and showed the nurses your website. 4 other RN's are ordering the same style! Here is a photo of me with one of my co-workers Kim. We have different brand bottoms on: mine are from Medgear. Kim's are from White Cross. We both love the way the scrubs fit and feel! Thanks for the opportunity to share! Enjoy our photos!
