I will check out both of these options:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-763123 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:54:26 +0000 Raisin 763123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to update:<br /> My AW slub T which is 67% rayon and 33% silk is hand washed and dry, and I'm happy to report no shrinkage at all! So....if that version is an option, maybe try that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-763092 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:25:42 +0000 cciele 763092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the James Perse! I got this one in black:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/james-perse-textured-scoop-neck-tee/3256672?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=White&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ja.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>I also tried a bunch of other tees to find one with the right drape and neckline. I like this textured JP one better than the "standard" one, because it's not as formfitting and the neckline seems a tad higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-763006 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:14:16 +0000 ElleH 763006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you like your James Perse Cciele? Does he have a similar style to the AW pocket tee? I don't need a pocket but I like the drape &amp; fit of the AW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762934 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:43:56 +0000 cciele 762934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so sorry to hear about the shirt! I love the drape of it but ended up returning my version (the washing issue from the reviews was one of the reasons) I ended up with a James Perse slub T instead. Haven't washed it yet though, but my other James Perse T has been fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762512 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 01:58:22 +0000 Raisin 762512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well so far my Rayon/Silk one - The Slub tee, is looking good. Not fully dry though. If you can exchange it for that, I really like this T, so maybe that would be a good sub? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762507 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 01:52:00 +0000 ElleH 762507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The label says to hand wash in cold water &amp; lay flat to dry though. But I might take it back because I followed instructions. I want to compare it to the others anyway as I am guessing it shrunk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762484 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 01:24:34 +0000 Raisin 762484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I checked the actual Alexander Wang site and it describes the classic t, the one you have as dry clean only. The one I have, the slub t, is hand wash. So I guess that boutique does not have accurate info. I would take it back if I were you, you could even print off the site page showing the care tips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762438 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:12:59 +0000 Jem 762438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's true that rayon feels stiff when it's wet. It will get soft again when it's dry. If it' has shrunk, I'd take it back since you specifically asked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762434 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:07:56 +0000 Raisin 762434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Elle....I just washed mine by hand...so far it is lying flat to dry, I did press a towel on it to take out the bulk of the water. So far it has not shrunk any, I measured before and at this stage. But it's not fully dry yet...I will let you know when it is. Maybe you can find the one that's 67% rayon, 33% silk. That's what I have (no pocket), and maybe that little bit of silk helps....well I don't know for sure yet. We'll see when it's dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762432 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:03:24 +0000 ElleH 762432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Annagybe. It seems like these fab shirts are fab for one wear only:( I wish I could find one just like it that doesn't shrink. The review you linked to said it only shrank in length but I think it shrunk in width too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762400 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:37:58 +0000 annagybe 762400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, read the first review</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/t-by-alexander-wang-pocket-tee/3246809?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=4471#BVRRWidgetID" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/t-.....RRWidgetID</a></p> <p>Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762336 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:31:43 +0000 Raisin 762336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea! I'll wash it up tomorrow and let you know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762334 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:30:19 +0000 ElleH 762334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RunnerRae you might want to measure it shoulder point to hem &amp; chest width under the arms before washing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762326 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:26:40 +0000 Raisin 762326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, mine is the non pocket one. Do they have that one with silk in it? I can hand wash it tomorrow and let you know how it dries, and maybe you can exchange it for that if it goes well. I think I'll take some before and after pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762323 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:24:16 +0000 ElleH 762323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone know of any cheaper knock offs? I like this when I got it &amp; would love to get more but at that price I can't take the chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762318 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:22:59 +0000 ElleH 762318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is all rayon. The pocket tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762313 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:19:46 +0000 Raisin 762313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is yours one that's part silk, or just all rayon? Mine is also 33% silk I think. Its the classic slub one. Maybe that one washes different? I can let you know as I have wash mine soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762303 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:05:36 +0000 ElleH 762303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes RunnerRae I read those too. I specifically asked Sales Associate because of the fabric &amp; she owns them &amp; said she handwashes them so did she lie to me, or maybe wasn't sure how big they were to begin with? Anyway I am unhappy with this &amp; don't want to have to dryclean T shirts if I got a replacement one. I really need a refund &amp; then to find ones that don't do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762299 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:03:00 +0000 Raisin 762299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought one too, but haven't washed it yet...now you have me scared. I did read some reviews and there are other people saying the same thing happened to them, even though the care tag says hand wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762288 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:51:21 +0000 Ingunn 762288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't assess this until it's completely dry! In my experience, rayon softens and grows back into its correct size again when it dries up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762286 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:50:04 +0000 Caro in Oz 762286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's so annoying. Rayon can feel hard when it is wet &amp; before ironing. It can also stretch back a bit - there is still hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-alexander-wang-t-shrank#post-762283 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:43:50 +0000 ElleH 762283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I followed the instructions &amp; handwashed in cold water. It is currently drying flat but looks smaller for sure &amp; no longer feels soft. It is rayon. It cost $87 with tax. I bought it from a boutique which I hate doing because returns always seem difficult in those places but she did tell me they don't shrink if you hand wash them. I feel like they will give me a hard time there because I bought the cheapest thing in the store &amp; they probably can't understand why I am making a fuss about $87 when their coats are over $2,000. They sell Isabel Marant &amp; other expensive clothing. </p>
