Homemaker's Corner MARY ELLEN COX In years past, the shrinkage of cotton materials was a big problem when buying either yard 9goods or ready-made garments. Then, a process was developed of shrinking cottons before putting them on the marfcet. When cottons have been shrunk so that the residual shrinkage is not over one percent, it is labelled as "sanfor- ized." However, the term "preshrunk" does not mean much. The residual shrinkage could be as high as 35 percent. Consequently, it the fabrics or garments are la- f) belled "preshrunk," read the label further to learn the amount of residual shrinkage.

If the residual shrinkage is not over one percent, tkat means it is same as sanforized. Residue shrinkage of 2-5 percent will mean some shrinkage but not much. Now we have more rayons, nylons, dacrons, and orlons, than cotton on the market. And, one of the biggest problems with rayons UK shrinkage. During the manufacturing process, a certain amount of stretch is put on the fibers.

Then when the garment is laundered, shrinkage takes place. The better manufacturers of rayon garments will subject their fibers to a treatment which will do away with this shrinkage." This minimizes the shrinkage of rayons and it can be lowered so that the residual shrinkage is tween 3-5 percent. Manufacturers belonging to the Federal Trade Commission are interested in selling good products, so they label their articles regarding shrinkage. Nylon, dacron, and orion do not present the problem in shrinkage as do rayons and cottons. However, the knit nylon garments do stretch and this stretching can be as much of a problem as shrink- I age, particularly in sweaters and underwear These garments can be treated so as not to stretch.

The term for rayon, nylon, dacron, and dynel garments which Indicates that they will hold their shape is "dimensionally stable." When buying fabrics or garments from these fibers, read the label to see that they will not shrink or stretch. In order to get the value for money spent, read the labels-and learn what you are getting. To buy an unlabelled garment today is like buying a pig in a poke. Remember, the better manufacturers label their items. Those manufacturers who do not care whether or not the customer is satisfied (and there are plenty of them) don't label their articles and fabrics.

These unlabelled things may' be cheaper, but in the end probably will be more expensive because they probably will not wear as well, shrink, lose color, etc. Be an informed consumer! tONT MOD Highlighting (COMTINUIO FtOM Fritz worked as an editorial researcher there, too, and knew Ross rather well.
