I'll Never Look Frumpy Again!

"I have been a Medelita customer for several years, and was excited to see the new coat design. I could not be happier with the new Emma W coat. The shawl collar is incredibly flattering with many different necklines, and the princess seams shape the jacket for the female form. I no longer feel like I am playing dress up in a man's over-sized coat! The shoulders fit well, and, even with the pockets filled, I don't feel like it weighs me down over the course of a long shift."

"When I wear my Emma W, my colleagues have commented that I look 'sharp,' 'svelte,' 'respectable,' and 'professional.' The fabric is of the highest quality and has a subtle texture that distinguishes Medelita jackets from all the others. Even with weekly washings, the fabric still looks fabulous. A quick trip through the drier on the wrinkle release cycle is enough to keep my jackets looking fresh. My busy schedule doesn't give me much time, so I wanted jackets that didn't require ironing. The Emma W fits the bill."

"Thank you again, Medelita, for designing and producing such high quality jackets. Even if I feel frumpy on an ER night shift, I'll never look frumpy again!"

Another Gem From Medelita!

"This is my third Medelita lab coat and my new favorite! From the lovely nipped-in waist to the smart slit chest pocket detail, everything about this coat is a mix of elegance, comfort & professionalism. I really like that the coat flares out a tad from the waist--very flattering & slimming especially for anyone with a curvy shape. The lapel is quite modern and sleek- my husband actually asked if it was a suit jacket! The fabric is soft, flexible and dare I say, quite cozy. It's 180 degrees from the tissue- paper thin, scratchy, stuffy polyester rectangular lab coats we have all suffered through."

"Of course, the multiple compliments I recieved on day 1 of wear didn't hurt either. One of my veteran nursing colleagues said it was the nicest lab coat she'd ever seen & the pocket detail was very attractive. It feels wonderful on, kept me warm in the freezing preop area and comfortable in more temperate areas of the hospital. Another gem from Medelita!"

My White Coat

The first thing I noticed was how the sleeves came down- exactly to my wrists. The shoulder seams rested on my shoulders. The weight of the coat felt right- not flimsy, but still breathable, and it draped well. I eagerly checked out all the pockets, filling them with the pens, papers, granola bars, stethescope, and little books that were in my old coat. It still hung well, and didn't look overfilled as my other one had. I looked in the mirror and admired the princess seams, and the buttons on the back waist. I admired the small collar, professional and tailored. I adored the dark pink script with my name. My old coat had boring black block letters. I mean, I'm in obstetrics/gynecology! It should be pretty and pink!

I tried it on with my work outfit, and scrubs, and wore it to work every day for the next few weeks. I got so many compliments, saying that I looked pretty, professional, that the coat was so well-cut, and where did I get it? (Of course I referred them!) The pink lettering was admired by all, and many commented on the pretty seams and back buttons. I watched blood drip onto it as a placed a central line, and then in amazement watched the blood drip off again, without leaving a stain. I dropped oatmeal on it, and wiped it off without at trace. On my day off, I washed and dried it with the rest of my laundry, and it looked great without even having to iron it.

Over time, I became aware that I loved the coat not only for how it looked, but how it made me feel. When I used to walk into a patient's room, I felt young, like I was playing dress-up, like I didn't really fit in. Now, I walk in confidently, knowing that I look professional and polished, and that this is a better representation of me. My coat matches my nice work clothes, and can cover up the ill-fitting hospital scrubs I sometimes I have to wear for surgery. And even though it is a work piece, I love it's design and fit so much that it really is one of my favorite articles of clothing. Every day it makes me happy and feel good about myself. I definitely recommend Medelita to anyone that wants a beautiful, functional coat for everyday wear.
