One thing I've learned about shopping from here is everything I've ordered is HUGE!  I could have ordered at least 2 sizes smaller than what I would pick up at a department store.  So, I decided to see if these would shrink.  I wash evertyhing in cold, and then I dried these on hot.  They didn't shrink, but they are no longer black - serious fading; now they are more of a charcoal gray - and that's after only one washing.  VERY unhappy with them!
