Where can I buy a T-shirt that won't shrink?

GandWJ · 16/03/2007 10:21

My T-shirts are driving me mad. I now have a tummy that I don't want on display EVER but my T-shirts are all insisting on shrinking by about 2 inches whenever I wash them.

I don't think my needs are all that great although I am a little lazy and tend to chuck everything in the tumble dryer so please can someone help me?

All I want is a decent t-shirt!!!

Gap are good - quite long in the body

American Apparel are supposed to be good too and you can buy online?

Gap - their Favourite Ts are designed to go in the dryer. Or Kew do actual 'longer length' ones.

or buy the long ones that are currently in Topshop, Primark etc and they shrink to a normal length.

I love the really fine cotton ones they do

CODalmighty · 16/03/2007 10:25

Agree with those that said Gap -I've got one thats older that my DD (7) thats still going strong! Never occured to me until I read this thread and thought about it.

CODalmighty · 16/03/2007 10:29

GandWJ · 16/03/2007 10:29

I've obviously been going to completely the wrong places! I knew they couldn't all shrink.

Right, off to do some shopping, thank you everyone.
