Please trust that our sizes do not run small. Sizes 6 - 16 fit extremely true to size. Size 4 runs slightly big, especially if you have narrow shoulders or a smaller bust. Sizes 0 and 2 run big. Consider ordering full size smaller, or order two sizes to try on. This style is most flattering on someone with an A, B or C cup and someone 5'4" and above. Callia is a 38" lab coat measured from C7 to back center hem. Please call us at 877.987.7979 or click on live chat for assistance with sizing, as we are always happy to help.

At Medelita, we have the utmost pride in our embroidery work. Our in-house service allows us to provide exemplary service to our customers and colleagues. We go to great lengths to ensure that each garment is perfectly sewn, inspected, and packaged. But in truth, the very first thing that a customer notices is not the stitching or the curved lapels or beautiful pocket detail of the garment itself. It's the embroidery. We call it the "icing on the cake." The "stamp of achievement and great sacrifice." And the "closest thing to wearing your diploma." For that reason - it must be perfect. And that is our standard.
Allow us the opportunity to display your name and title - embroidered with prestige and perfection - in the manner you've earned.
Advice Regarding Embroidery Character Length
Example (Pictured Women's Estie Size 0 Lab Coat, 19 characters total on line 1 with 4 characters covered):
On properly fitting, gender specific lab coats with stylish lapels, there is limited amount of space in the area above the pocket, and between the lapel and the armhole. Some sizes and styes have less room than others. It is our priority to alert you in advance that Medelita embroidery is centered above the pocket, and embroidered to a standard size/height that is both legible and high-quality in appearance. The large majority of Medelita customers/colleagues are "ok" with some letters of their first name being partially covered by the lapel. For those that want to ensure that every single letter is visible, please adhere to the following guidelines to prevent coverage in both the first and second lines of embroidery.

- Once your logo is received, you will be contacted by our customer service team to discuss the customization of your logo.
- Your design will be digitized by our expert embroidery team, and you will then receive a picture (via email) for approval. This initial process takes approximately 7-10 days.

Care Instructions
If you prefer home laundering, pre-treat stains prior to washing. See stain removal guide for best recommendations. Expect up to 2-3% shrinkage with home laundering.
If you prefer dry cleaning, find an environmentally friendly dry cleaner that cleans whites separately and changes dry cleaning solution daily. Point out any stains to the cleaner when you drop it off.
For home laundering, machine wash warm. Do not use chlorine bleach. Non-chlorine bleach is ok.
Tumble dry low heat or hang to dry. Our best tip is to partially dry for 5-10 minutes, then hang to dry.
For a most professsional and sharp appearance, press with medium to high heat with steam or press when garment is still damp. Use filtered water in iron and be sure the iron itself is clean before using.

Callia Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Great Aunt Mary Location: West Bloomfield, MI  Written on: February 07, 2013 | ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS I am not in the medical profession. I'm tough to please, and so is my niece, a practicing OB-GYN in Oceanside, CA. She mentioned that the one lab coat she has is falling apart at the seams, so I suggested a new coat might be a great birthday gift. She agreed. I searched online and found Medelita, in CA. Although I was a bit apprehensive about ordering from Medelita, after reviewing their testimonials and website I ordered two Callia coats for her birthday. She LOVES the coats, and said they "don't even compare" to what she's been wearing. They fit perfectly, have a bit of stretch, spills roll right off, the styling is efficient for today's digital age, the material is comfortable, the fit is comfortable, and wearing it "improves her attitude". She even commented on how they arrived beautifully packed. You won't be disappointed with this product. ✓ I recommend this product One person liked this comment.    |
Callia Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Adrian H Location: Stanton, Ca Written on: January 07, 2013 | Love it! I'm a messy eater and I can see liquids roll right off the material! This is my second callia coat and the newer material is so much lighter and thinner. The previous coat lasted me 2.5 years of daily use. Hopefully the thinner material does not lower the durability. ✓ I recommend this product |

The fabric is thick without being stiff or rough. The coat fits nicely and looks very professional. The only thing I would change is to add an additional interior pocket on the lower right hand side. Otherwise, this coat is amazing! ✓ I recommend this product |
