My sil isn't that tiny but I made her scrub tops because she was in the same situation that your dd is in and I had a blast at making them. Be sure that before you make a bunch that they are not going with one uniform color as some are right now. I do know she prefers to have the pants have the elastic at the ankles too and because she is so tall she liked mine because they fit perfect. The patterns are almost boxy so cutting them down should not be that much of a headache. Best of luck!!
