I have just bought some clothes with the new fashion of crinkled fabric. the fabrics include silk, cotton and polyester and a very fine see-through cotton. The instructions say to use the broomstick method of washing to ensure that the clothes remain crinkled. Can anyone who has successfully washed these types of crinkle clothes (skirts, blouses) give me some advice on do's and don'ts before I attempt to crinkle wash the clothes?

Wash by hand with some Woolite or dishwashing detergent in lukewarm to cool water. Rinse thoroughly. Place on a towel, roll the towel to get most of the water out. The secret to keeping the crinkle is then to twist the fabric but do not stretch the fabric (sort of like wringing it) then let it dry in that shape, put rubber bands or tie with strips of cloth. Once it is dry, take off ties, shake out and, Voila, it is clean, crinkled and ready to wear again! Used this method with a velveteen crinkle skirt.

you can machine was them but do not dry them in a dryer. I did once and my shirt was no long crinkled.
