Stretch, but no recovery

‎06-20-2024 03:05 PM

Preface:  I like Renee's pants (and lots of her other clothing) and own quite a few of her different styles / fabrics and I've always been satisfied with fabric and fit.  

 

                                   BUT.......................

 

On Tuesday, I wore a pair of my Women With Control pants that I've had for quite a while but rarely wore.  14% spandex.  Item A200212.  Nothing special pants .... just black pull-on elastic waist pants with straight legs.

 

They were kind of baggy when I took them off - so I hung them thinking they would "recover" after hanging.

 

They hung since Tuesday night and no recovery.  I put them on this morning because today was a "housework" day.  They stretched even more!

 

Right now - I'm wearing some very baggy pants.  

 

Wondering .... do I have to wash these between each wearing for "recovery"?

Spandex can lose elasticity over time.  You can tighten spandex by drying it on high heat.  Might be worth a try before retiring that pair of pants.

@ALRATIBA I suspect it's the 86% cotton and not the 14% spandex that are stretching them out with no recovery but I could be wrong.
