I ruined a pair of beautiful dress pants once (thankfully I wore them for the special occasion I needed them for), but I washed in cold by hand, hung them to dry, and the pants shrunk about 3 inches shorter than the lining! I was furious ... quite pricey too. Sometimes you can't even trust the label.
