Join our addicts :0)</p> <p>That’s a gorgeous dress. I’d take it to the cleaners. It should not shrink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-loft-wrap-dress-will-it-shrink#post-96205 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:09:02 +0000 garmenta 96205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fabric care fanatic, so take my advice with a grain of salt. </p> <p>Cotton with spandex is a funny fabric. You'd think you could machine wash it, but the spandex acts up in the machine, even on a cold-water setting. Even if you don't get shrinkage, you get puckering and eventually fading, especially in a black fabric.</p> <p>To keep it looking new and fresh, I'd recommend spot-cleaning with baby wipes (which have a very mild detergent), squirting it with a fabric refresher if it gets a little musty, and as a last resort, taking it to the dry cleaner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-loft-wrap-dress-will-it-shrink#post-96159 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:36:32 +0000 MsJournalista 96159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, san!

This is the same fiber content as my premium jeans which I wash in warm water then hang to dry, no shrinkage. AT has great quality, as you know i'm sure. I would not expect this dress to shrink if you line dry it.<br /> So cute too!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-loft-wrap-dress-will-it-shrink#post-96149 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:10:34 +0000 MsJournalista 96149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>I'm a first-time poster and a long-time lurker. You all have such spot-on advice and YLF is my daily addiction and it's an addiction I don't plan to give up!</p> <p>I have a question about this dress, or other experiences with this fabric content.</p> <p>AT Loft Sleeveless Ruffle Wrap dress by Trulli:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=21837&#038;N=1200042&#038;categoryId=3364&#038;Nr=AND(CAT_SALE_FLAG:Y)&#038;Ns=SALE_SEQUENCE_NO&#038;viewAll=true&#038;gridSize=sm&#038;showAll=true&#038;defaultColor=Black&#038;defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular</a></p> <p>I've been eyeing it ever since they made a similar version for Summer '08. Now this version is on sale and I think it's time to buy. My only reservation is the fabric content : 97% cotton/3% spandex. Will it shrink? I tried on a size 4 in the store and it fit great. Should I size up to a 6? Does anyone own this dress or one with a similar fabric content? Thanks, all! </p>
