We have previously explained the main conditions with regard to
women's clothing. Please see the answer to question no. 6991 .
There is nothing wrong withwhat you mentioned of wearing a long, loose
white coat over your own clothes.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: What is required
of female doctors and others such as nurses and workers is to
fearAllaah and wear modest clothing which will not show the shape of
their limbs or 'awrahs, rather it should be moderate clothingthat is
neither too loose nor too tight, and that will cover them properly in
the mannerrequired by sharee'ah and will prevent the causes of fitnah.
End quote from Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (9/427).
And Allaah knows best.
