They seem tighter/more body con to me lately. I tried a new one on at Nordstrom a couple of weeks ago in the same size and I was more comfortable with the fit. I'm not sure if the fabric content is the same, but I think mine have indeed shrunk a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159730 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:39:46 +0000 abc 1159730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz, Gigi, Glory and MsMaven. I think I will give it a whirl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159706 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:11:34 +0000 MsMaven 1159706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a couple of the skirts last summer in an L. &nbsp;After I washed and tumble dried&nbsp;them a few times--wash instructions do say tumble dry, but I just put them in for a few minutes)&nbsp; I sensed that they'd shrunk a bit. Later in the year I bought one in M. &nbsp;Just measured the M against the Ls and I don't think they shrank much. &nbsp;You could try drying them until they are completely dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159568 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:47:16 +0000 Glory 1159568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would give it a try. If that doesn't work it might be quite easy to tailor - you could probably get away with one side seam being taken in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159552 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:25:56 +0000 Gigi 1159552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the fabric content? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159368 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:27:15 +0000 abc 1159368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA! &nbsp;I was thinking of that thread, too.</p> <p>I'm hoping someone can tell me if they have experience with this skirt, but you're right, I should just try. &nbsp;Now if only I had a dryer in my house!! LOL</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159361 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:19:24 +0000 Suz 1159361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it worked for Shannon's pants recently. Worth a try!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-tube-skirt-shrinkage#post-1159354 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:10:41 +0000 abc 1159354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, along with many other YLF'ers it seems, own several of the VC tube skirt. &nbsp;I've lost some weight and now it doesn't have the same fit as it used to. &nbsp;I don't dry many items, so mine have never gone through a dryer cycle.</p> <p>My question is: has anyone dried theirs and experienced shrinkage? &nbsp;Or is the fabric so great that it retains it's original size? &nbsp;</p> <p>I am really hoping I can shrink them bc I have grown to LOVE these skirts.</p> <p>Thanks so much for your input!! </p>
