It did not change enough that I cannot wear, it, but it did change the fit and I am not particularly happy with that.

I've been debating doing that with the skirted leggings (mine are slightly loose) but I'm a little warier because I like the length of the skirt where it is and don't want it to shrink too much. greycat6 on "Do the EF skirted leggings shrink?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-the-ef-skirted-leggings-shrink#post-1430896 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 20:35:25 +0000 greycat6 1430896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No shrinkage for me.  I washed my skirted leggings on gentle in cold water.  Hang to dry.

And some tunic tops and tees, and the fold-over skirt. So far nothing has shrunk or faded, or pulled or bagged/stretched out either. I wash on delicate/cold in a laundry bag and line dry. I tried to get the skirt to shrink to accommodate weight loss. Warm water wash and warm dryer just made the hem ripple. crutcher on "Do the EF skirted leggings shrink?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-the-ef-skirted-leggings-shrink#post-1430833 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:14:57 +0000 crutcher 1430833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mine had better not shrink..Havn't put them to the wash yet....Just saying shrinking is not allowed...smile shiny on "Do the EF skirted leggings shrink?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-the-ef-skirted-leggings-shrink#post-1430781 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 17:24:00 +0000 shiny 1430781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ EF fashionistas: do the EF skirted leggings shrink if you put them through the wash & dryer?  It seems that EF uses a lot of the same fabrications, so this question is not just related to the skirted leggings. I have also added some slouchy pants in the same fabric, which I have yet to wash. If those shrunk I'm afraid they'd be too small. The EF skirted leggings could afford some shrinkage so I could experiment.  As I mentioned on another thread today, I also invested in the EF merino drapey pants. Though XSP, they were huge on me -- all over, length, width, everything. But so incredibly cozy and warm and comfy, I kept them for lounge & sleepwear. My DH then accidentally ran them through the wash & dryer (such a sweetie for doing my laundry while I was away on a business trip). They shrunk --- dramatically. Now they are a perfect fit! Enough so, that I plan to wear out of the house soon.  But it got me wondering about the jersey knits... will those shrink too?
