Finally - A Flattering Lab Coat
Reviewed By: Evy FNP (Merced, CA)
I shopped and shopped - couldn't find a lab coat that wasn't flimsy, boxy or cheap looking.
This coat (slightly different than the one I purchased at the store) fits beautifully. I tried on several brands, lengths, styles, but this was the one that was most professional looking, more stylish, of better quality, and most flattering. The one I purchased does not have the large buttons or detailed pockets that this one sports, but the empire waist styling, length, etc. all appear to be the same as mine.
I sized up since I will be wearing it over street clothes. I am 5'7", normally wear a size "L" top in scrubs, and purchased this coat in a size 14. The fabric is heavier so you can't "see through", the length is mid-thigh, and it has nice details (empire waist and MedCouture logo below the collar in the back) that give it some femininity. It is comfortable, breathes, and moves with me. And did I mention the empire waist is flattering for a more "robust" figure such as mine
