I never said a proper thank you for your suggestions on how to stop black pants from fading. I take just one pair to the cleaners because they were relatively expensive and classic in style so the return-on-investment in dry cleaning is worth it.
Otherwise, for now, it's Woolite on the delicate cycle. -- I found a website that said to use fabric softener to stop abrasion -- just the opposite of the sneezy pants hint CFrance found.
I am going to try Chico's Travelers line. The Chico's in TV is the first Chico's I ever spent any time in. I bought a couple of white shirts. -- I do not like to shop (except for furniture) so I tend to try to hurry. The first time I went to a Chico's was years ago. I walked in, did a quick look-around, and did not try anything on because I fled in horror thinking it was a store only for those who wore size 1 or 2.
Anyway, thank you. I luv this ol' thread where we can have discussions that are light and fun and also quite useful for just us "girls."
