And next time think about whether to do as it says.
When I was emptying my wardrobe yesterday I came across the white trouser suit I first - and last -wore for Daughter's wedding in 2003.
With damp stains on the legs it was fit for nothing. I couldn't wear it as it was nor could I give it to a charity shop.
So I decided to wash it. Which is when I noticed it was Dry Clean Only.
But who pays any attention to those labels?
It turns out I should have.
Not only has it shrunk but the marks are still there, looking worse if anything.
And the moral of this story is: don't keep things for 'best'; if you have something lovely to wear then wear it. And read labels before washing.

Excellent advice...I think all clothing on the market should be wash and wear.
Yep, this is a true case of use it lose it! Sorry.
It should be, Jimmy!
In future I will not keep clothes for best, Sharon.
Didn't the jacket survive either? Drat.
It has shrunk a little, Sonata.
So is it in the Bin now??
Over the years I've had an assortment of trouser suits but
but never a white one, yours looked lovely on you at your
daughter's wedding. Such a shame you didn't get to wear it again,
never mind maybe you should have a look around and buy yourself
another trouser suit.
love Di xx
