This site has some interesting fabrics, a lot of 100% cotton, which
need some ironing but are great looking. They would make great looking
scrubs because they are cheerful and nontraditional. If I were still
wearing hospital clothing I'd love the look of them with white or color
coordinated pants.
http://www.freespiritfabric.com/core-pages/galleryindex.php Amy Butler also has some really neat patterns and Fabric.com carries her
things.
