washing instructions (NBR)

in 2nd Trimester

This may be a stupid question......

I bought these shirts from The Gap a while ago - they are the Gap Pure long sleeved tops. The girl working there told me not to dry them, but the instructions say "tumble dry low" - the thing is, my "tumble dry low" is pointless - it doesn't dry anything

I know Gap clothing doesn't always wash well, but I wouldn't mind if these shrunk a little bit since they are really long in the arms, so I kind of want to put them in the dryer in regular heat.

I've just been hanging them to dry.

I've also got this TNA sweater I bought that stretched out after 1 use even though it's an XS (vanity sizing at it's best) -- I would love to shrink that one as well, but the directions say hang to dry. 

I'm just scared of ruining the fabric. WWYD?

    I love those shirts! I dried mine and they did shrink a bit but I like that the sleeves stayed long.

    I'm 5 feet tall, so that's probably why the sleeves are so long. they are a little big on me but that's okay since I got them to wear during this pregnancy

    so you just dried yours in the dryer no problems? with heat?
