French Linen

What happens if I handwash something that cannot be washed?

Two days ago I just bought a French linen cable stitched cardigan and I hand-washed it and dried it flat on a rack. Yesterday I tried it on and I found, to my utmost horror, that the sleeves are now 3 to 4 times the original circumference and the sleeves reach my knees.

I am no Michael Phelps and I do not have abnormally long gorilla limbs!!

I was wondering what was wrong when I looked at the washing instructions (in Japanese you see…) and I saw a symbol that meant DO NOT WASH

Crap. Does anyone know what happened to my cardi? Did it expand because I am only allowed to dry-clean it? If so, what can I do to fix this ghastly problem? Do I shrink it? If yes how do I shrink clothes?

In short I have 2 questions
1) What happened?
2) What can I do?

Thank you all in advance and if you need to see a picture I will be most glad to provide one.

Thanks!! I really like it and it is brand new T.T
): That is horrible I just got it for seventy dollars!
How do I shrink it?

There isn’t much you can do to fix the problem except maybe alter the cardigan. If you don’t sew, maybe you know someone who does? Or you could look in your Yellow Pages under “Tailors”.

Often you CAN get away with washing “Dry Clean Only” clothes…either in the machine or by hand. But just as often, you can’t. It’s hard to tell which items can be washed and which cannot. It’s a matter of experience….and you just had “an experience”.
