Q: i recently bought these pair of abercrombie denim shorts...

http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_317551_-1_12250_12203

and i washed them today for the first time.
when i washed them i washed by instruction which was the following...

machine wash cold
inside out with like colors
don't bleach
tumble dry low

which i did. but when they came out.
the buttom ripped part got all freyed
and has many long strings in bunches that kinda
resemble yarn. and they just look trashy and ugly now.

i was wondering if i did something wrong
or what i cna do to make them look better.
or if this has happened to anyone else and
their solution. thank you so much.!!

Wow! Those are super cute! Well, when I have jeans/skirts that are freyed on the edges, I just wash them, and then let them air dry. Also, you had it on the gentle cycle right? That may have been a slight problem. Even doing that to my clothes, they still get a little worse, so I just cut off the extra freying that I don't want. I leave some though, because I think it looks cute.

hope this helps-
