Pull&Bear 71% Viscose 29% Linen

HandWash label
They were £30 each so not ££ but I don't want to just "oh give it a try if they work , they work" . I did try this on a pair of Zara trousers that were 100% Viscose , it didn't end well.
DD is tall and long legged so getting trousers to fit her isn't easy with the current wide leg ankle grazer trend .

I don't tend to buy Dry Clean/HandWash for this reason !

Sooooo , if anyone has these , do you HW or MW ? I'd do in a laundry bag , gentle cycle etc. Hang to dry .
TIA

I did that with an expensive pair from Cos. They shrank despite using the hand-wash cold setting on an expensive washing machine, sorry! I think they'd have shrunk however I'd cleaned then. Linen-cotton from h&m always seems to be fine though. I suspects it's the viscose that shrinks rather than the linen.

I have a few 100% viscose things , they go through the wash at 30c no issues .
I did accidently wash one of my favourite tops at 40 and thought I'd killed it but it was fine !
