I am officially boycotting clothing manufacturers! I am SO TIRED of purchasing shirts, having them fit perfectly, and then washing them once, and they shrink up a good 6" making them belly or short shirts! I SO HATE THIS!!!! Yesterday, for about two hours, I was doing laundry and cleaning up the laundry room, and I ended up packing up 4 of the 20 gallon trash bags full of clothing that shrunk--mostly shirts!
I think that when I do start buying again, if this happens I will take the clothing right back to the store...i cannot tell you how many times that I have purchased cute t-shirts and the slightly stretch sleeveless blouses from Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's, Land's End, or JC Penny's to have them shrink the first time I wash them--even in cold water and hanging them out to dry--so they are no longer wearable.
I probably packed up a good 30 shirts last night, and am going back into the trenches this morning to do it again. Maybe this is telling me I have too many clothes (I do and am paring down) but as I was packing up, my feather's were ruffled at all the cute clothes that I have purchased in the last 6 months that no longer fit because they are now shrunk to the size that you can see a good portion of your belly, and that is the last thing that I want to be doing!!!
Watch out clohting manufacturers....I am not going to be taking this any longer!!!
(no, none of these are my belly!!!)
