To those people who have a problem with shrinkage when dealing with their Gymboree clothing I have a suggestion. IRONING! When you get your item out of the wash, turn it inside out and iron it with LOTS of steam and the item will go back to its original size as when purchased. When you iron it the inside areas then turn it rightside out and iron again being very carefull of sequins or other delicate materials. Delicate items such as these do best when a piece of material is laid on top before ironing. On pants it may require pulling the material on the bottom hemline to retain shape. There have been so many buyers and sellers who have received a neutral or negative FB for items not fitting properly. Believe me this will never happen again if you follow these instructions. Also use starch and it will retain the life of the gament. 

I iron every piece of my girls and boys clothing, including their pajamas. That is how I keep so many items they have like new! Most of the time it is only worn one time. But for those Moms whose children wear nothing but the best, I wanted to give a little piece of advise. Thanks for reading!
