I think I'd get a small, but I hope it doesn't turn into an extra small. My measurements are 32, 26, 34

Answer 1

Yes they do shrink. I have several of those and I never put them in the dryer. I usually wash mine by hand or in the cold/cold, gentle cycle then lay it flat to dry. If you have any questions, call the customer service line and ask them. They are really good about telling you what to do.

I would get a small and take care of it like I just described. It should be fine. Since I bought mine, I have gained and lost some weight and I have never had a problem.

Answer 2

I also don't trust their clothes. I once bought a bra from VS and it ripped in the cup within six months of purchase and and washing and either delicate dryer or hang drying. I decided to stick with my Fruit of the Loom and Hanes bras for half the price and better quality.

I agree with clothes not always looking as pictured because they're on tall, bone thin models. How many women do you know who are at least 5'10" and at look as though their bones protrude from their skin? At six feet, I'm tall, but I'm also a happy 182. (I gave birth to my daughter two months ago. I gained 34 pounds and I'm only 12 pounds heavier than what I was on the day I found out I was pregnant. Since I want to keep some weight on for breastfeeding, and I still want to fit into my clothes, I figure 175 will be good.)

While I'm a big fan of second hand shopping, I also like to keep my clothes for as long as possible. I wash all of my clothes in cold water on the delicate cycle. For clothes that really want to make sure stay good, I hang dry them. Everything else gets thrown in the delicate cycle in the dryer. (Unless it's red [which I don't wear] or a color of which I'm not sure, I throw all colors and fabrics [well, most] in the washer together. It saves time, money, energy, detergent, etc. I even throw my baby's clothes in with mine as I use a dye free, color free, scent free detergent.)

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Answer 3

All depends on what it is made of. Look at the tag on it. Cotton is the one that normally shrinks. Nothing else really does or I havn't found another fabric that does to the point a peice of cloating is unwearable. Hopefully I was helpfull. :)

Answer 4

there clothes does suck... i have had to return everything i have bought in the past. as far as shrinkage... it depends on what type of material... definatly cotton will shrink. i have the same exact measurments i usually get extra small just because everything runs big. plus incase u want to make sure on what size they do have a size sheet. on the site and catalog.. check there to make sure.

Answer 5

you are better off getting 34 depending on ur size because it does shrink, my husband bought me one and i only used it for couple of weeks because the static is impressive and it does shrink!

Answer 6

It shouldn't wash in cold water hang up on hanger to dry...Victoria's secret should stand behind their product..as long as you follow cleaning instruction..don't dry in dryer..

Answer 7

i dont trust their clothes. everytime i order something it sucks and it is never how it is in the pictures....... so i would think twice because i always end up returning it.

Answer 8

If it's made of cotton it will probably shrink.

Answer 9

it'll get tighter around the neck. hand wash it and hang it to dry- you should be okay.

Answer 10

I hope so. If it does can you take photos and send?
Thanks
