Did your things sit down after washing? Do not rush to get rid of them, they can still return the original look. This is due to non-compliance with the temperature regime.

Why, after washing, things sit down
If the clothes have decreased after washing, it has occurred not simply so, and for the certain reasons:

As a result of exposure to high temperatures, the tissue loses its properties. Therefore it is important to know which fabrics sit most. These include silk products.
