They will shrink, even when it says pre washed it can still shrink. I always wash in cold water and either hang dry or use air dry only to partially dry then hang. Even then there can be shrinking.

Thanks for the links. The problem I have with ordering clothes I have never worn before is knowing if they will fit. I always have to try them on because each brand or style is different. Once I know that they will fit, I can then order them online. I hate the hassle of ordering something then have to send it back because it didn't fit. I wish I could find them in a store around here. I will check out Tractor Supply and such places.

Thanks for buying cotton, or other natural product. When they've outlived their usefulness (in my case, even with the help of elastic bands), you can put them into the compost and add them to your garden and they'll provide some nutrients to your vegetables. Much of the plastic stuff will break down into tiny pieces ... but when you add 'em to the garden, they'll lie there for 100 years and add not one smidgeon of nutriment to your veggies ... or any one else's after your departure, for that matter. ole joyfuelled ... with a bit o' fuelling help from veggies P.S. And just why, pray tell, is senior O J checking a thread that relates to ladies underwear, whether cotton or otherwise? o j

Huge sucker for paisley and Homesense (same as your Home Goods). I really like those! I was in a rush a few weeks ago and grabbed my son a twin set of Ralph plaid sheets for camp ($34.99). Same place of manufacture. I really liked them and agree quite nicely finished. A stiff cotton percale finish. He loved them. (like this but twin http://www.ebay.com/itm/RALPH-LAUREN-UNIVERSITY-BLUE-WHITE-PLAID-QUEEN-SHEET-SET-4PC-/381719316440?hash=item58e03e87d8:g:NjoAAOSwENxXnBJF) A few years ago I got my younger son a set of Nautica sheets for $39.99 (full/double) that were retail over $350. They were a blue/off white ticking but the pattern was woven right in the fabric not printed on. They are still beautiful sheets. More of a sateen finish though. I just love looking for high end bargains there. Not long ago my mother found linen sheets from Belgium that were crazy expensive for super cheap. A one off find.
