Liz asked:


My mom keeps yelling at me for clothes not fitting anymore. I can’t help it! I wash my clothes in cold water, and on a low heat setting for the dryer. I also buy my clothes around 2 sizes bigger and they still shrink wayyyy too small. How can I keep my clothes from shrinking?

    Instead of putting them in the dryer after washing them, just hang them somewhere to air dry!! I do it all the time

    Wash on delicate. Do not put in drier. If u have to, make sure it is on the coolest temp. possible and take them out as soon as theyre dry.

    dont ever put them in the dryer even for low heat

  8. jennicasplace says:

    Air dry them. You can throw them in the dryer on low heat; with a dryer sheet, and tumble them for just a few minutes…getting a lot of the wet wrinkles out. Shake them out; hang them up, and they’ll turn out great!

    DONT WASH THEM
