OT wool suits and tumble dryers

If someone should dump the contents of their case into the wash, by
the method of open machine, tip case straight in, then employ child
labour to put the contents of washing machine into the tumble dryer,
that someone may fail to notice that they have not only washed but
then tumble dried their lovely lilac wool/cotton mix skirt and jacket
that are clearly marked dry clean only.

When that someone then comes to pack their case they may find that it
has shrunk. Bugger.

There's no way of rescuing it is there? It is now a dead suit?

 

No, and yes, respectively.

Crash diet?

 

Good idea and all that

 

It might stretchback again if you soak it, then wear it wet.

If not it'll at least give us something to laugh at - rememebr to take
photos.

 

<looks at midriff>

It's not working for me.

 

Best write the dress off and give it to Oxfam, then.

 

You're doing the wrong type of crashing.

 

been there, done that, worked out what happened when the lining of the
skirt was 6 inches longer than the skirt.

Heh. I swear you starve her.

The lining is now 2 inches below the skirt - if I remove that I'll
have a mni skirt. Unfortunately I'd then need the sort of legs that
look good in a mini skirt.

 

Yes, that's exactly the moment when I went 'oh bugger'. I *liked* that
suit.

Who is doing decent suits in dumpy bird sizes nowadays?

 

Dead suit.

Oh, you know.

 

Speaking as the owner of many mysteriously shrunken t-shirts, may I
offer this advice?
Leave it to soak and pull it long again. T-shirts are easy to do, by
simply pulling with one's hands, a bit at a time lengthwise. For a
skirt, I'd suggest hanging it up and suspending weights from the hem.
You'd need a few pounds on each line and they'd need to be evenly
distributed.
