laundry

Hey, anybody really bad at laundry? The type of person who shrinks all their clothes and so they look like kids stuff? How do you do it?

Seriously, I need to shrink some pants.

All my great summer pants and capris and even some of my everyday jeans are kinda too big. Like they stay up, but I don't need to undo them to go to pull them down (just tried it in the bathroom - ha! and these used to be my best jeans!) I've got a lot of white pants and skirts that i'm gonna try and shrink, but other colors too, I was gonna just wash them in hot and then dry them in hot, might work right? (i usually use cold for everything, save the environment ya know). but I should probably do the white's separate right?
