Why I Created the Proud Poppy Scrubs Range
Why I Created the Proud Poppy Scrubs Range: Comfort, Colour & Confidence for Every Body
As a former emergency nurse turned fashion founder, creating a range of comfortable, colourful, and size-inclusive nursing scrubs was never a matter of if , it was always a matter of when.
After years working long shifts in stiff, sweaty uniforms that never quite fit right (or had enough pockets!), I knew firsthand that healthcare heroes and all other scrub wearing legends deserved better. Better fabrics. Better fits. Better colours. And most importantly - scrubs that feel as good as they look.
So, we created them.
👩⚕️ Function Meets Feel-Good Fashion
The Proud Poppy Scrubs Range was designed with one goal in mind: to help you feel confident, supported, and totally unbothered by bad uniforms - no matter what you do or how long your shift is.
Here’s what makes our scrubs stand out in a sea of navy and black:
- ✅ Comfort-first stretch fabric that moves with your body
- ✅ Quick-dry technology so you’re not stuck in sweaty scrubs all shift
- ✅ Multiple pockets (because hands-free is non-negotiable)
- ✅ Vibrant colours to brighten up even the toughest workday
- ✅ Sizes 6 to 30 because every body deserves great workwear
🎯 Built by a Nurse. Backed by Our Community.
This isn’t just another uniform. These scrubs were born from years of real experience, tested by our incredible Proud Poppy community, and tailored to suit the actual needs of nurses, midwives, carers, health care workers and more across Australia and the world!
They’re not boxy. They’re not boring. And they’re definitely not one-size-fits-most.

💬 “Why Do You Need Fashionable Scrubs?”
Because confidence is a form of self-care. And just like your patients deserve compassion, you deserve a uniform that works as hard as you do - and makes you feel like you.
