I wonder if the dye has anything to do with "shrinkability", I bought, from the
same mfg, 2 "hawaiian" print shirts - same size,cut and pattern.One was a red
background, one was blue-washed both in cold water, the red one stayed the same
size, the blue one shrunk a full size.
In my realm, if fabric does not "survive " washing, I don't use it for good
garb. I just work around what left of the yardage and get on with it.
I figure ,people in the "old days" didn't have dry cleaning, (which I
personally detest,sitting and perspiring in a soup of toxic chemicals next to
your skin- the largest organ in your body, is not my idea of healthy) silk and
wool were not dry cleaned in the past, it was washed ,if only daubbed with
water.
for what its worth.....
