(sorry, I'm just excited with all the solutions)</p> <p><b>Gigi</b>, that's a wonderful idea, it hadn't occurred to me.</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, I didn't know about either of these options to do at home. Will take note for other items as well.</p> <p><b>JuniperGreen</b>, that's so helpful and such a relief!!! I usually read reviews but didn't think of sifting through them for this question. (And these pants are as delicious to wear as the reviewer suggests)</p> <p><b>DonnaF,</b> that's all good to know. I would be sad if they shrunk or faded... they have a deep dark navy color that looks so dressy. </p> <p>thanks everyone again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washing-gigi-pants-jcrew-factory-at-home-vs-dry-cleaning#post-1842928 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 18:55:02 +0000 DonnaF 1842928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Due to rayon, your biggest risks are probably shrinking and then fading. If they shrink they may also stretch back out with wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washing-gigi-pants-jcrew-factory-at-home-vs-dry-cleaning#post-1842902 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 17:12:28 +0000 JuniperGreen 1842902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick look in the product reviews on the site shows at least one shopper has successfully laundered them!</p> <p>From the site: "I bought these along with the Gigi pant, and ended up LOVING these with pockets! I was looking for a jegging or black pair of jeans, and couldn't stop wearing these! Very stretchy, comfortable, and can be worn as pants with flats or in place of leggings with boots! I ordered a size 4, usually wear a 4-6 in pants. They fit perfectly. <b>They say dry clean only, but I find that washing on cold in a gentle cycle and hanging to dry works just fine.</b>"<div><div></div><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washing-gigi-pants-jcrew-factory-at-home-vs-dry-cleaning#post-1842732 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 05:35:20 +0000 Anonymous 1842732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might try Dryell in-the-dryer dry cleaning or putting them in the freezer to get rid of odors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washing-gigi-pants-jcrew-factory-at-home-vs-dry-cleaning#post-1842729 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 05:26:47 +0000 Gigi 1842729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have the pants, but you might want to consider calling the Factory store and asking the sales associates whether they have experience with washing the pants. I have done that with the regular J. Crew store when I am considering buying a dry-clean-only item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washing-gigi-pants-jcrew-factory-at-home-vs-dry-cleaning#post-1842627 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 23:00:09 +0000 K.M. 1842627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might be a long shot, but...</p> <p>Does anyone here own the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://factory.jcrew.com/p/womens-clothing/knits_tees/knit_pants/gigi-pant-with-pockets/34075?isFromSearch=true&amp;color_name=black&amp;N=0&amp;Nloc=en&amp;Ntrm=gigi&amp;Npge=1&amp;Nrpp=60&amp;Nsrt=0">Gigi pants from J.Crew Factory</a>, and, if so, have you ever washed it at home?</p> <p>I only realized now that the tag says "Dry Clean Only." To be honest I might not have bought it if I had seen it earlier! But I love the pants. And if I can, I prefer to avoid dry cleaning. The clothes never feel as fresh as when they come out of the wash, plus I never know when I have time to stop by the cleaners'...</p> <p>They describe the fabric as: "Our popular stretch ponte fabric (rayon/nylon/spandex)."</p> <p>Sorry for the oddly specific question, but in the off chance someone has experience with this, it would help! Thanks! </p>
