But like Angie said, it really depends on the item! If you are anything like me, going forward, just make sure everything you buy is machine washable/dryable! I even try to avoid hand washable items because I just don't have the time for that. Same goes for ironing...</p> <p>Sometimes I buy something that requires dry cleaning or handwashing...promising myself that I will take care of it. But in the end, I either avoid wearing the item because I want to avoid the care-taking or it sits in a pile waiting for me to take care of it. Either way, I don't get enough wear out of the item to justify buying high-maintenance clothing for my everyday wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taking-care-of-clothing#post-14039 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:09:30 +0000 Angie 14039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tricky to generalize in this area. It really depends on the item and whether you are prepared to iron. Loads of things can be hand washed and hung dry, but you’re obliged to press which isn’t everyone’s cuppa tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taking-care-of-clothing#post-14038 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:54:03 +0000 amazona 14038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe this is not in your area but I would like to hear something about dry cleaning versus washing. My lifestyle has changed and I find that I do not need clothing that must be dry cleaned. Many labels say dry clean. When is it ok to wash?</p> <p>I would like to have a closet full of washable clothing that is smart and fashionable.<br /> Thanks, </p>
