I bought these scrubs at a retail outlet. They are super and munch better quality than the Cherokee brand. I will be buying more and will get them here because the price is great!! I use my "Hold Ups" suspenders underneath the top to help hold them up However the belt loops on the pants will do the same for you. I don't use the draw strings. Seems like draw strings just don't work for me. Could be because of my belly. LOL Spoons made me fat!!!
