Only problem you might have is if they are lined....the fabrics shrink at different rates so the lining might shrink more than the fabric or vice versa so they might not hang that well anymore. Sometimes that's the reason they are dry clean only, unless the main fabric is very delicate.

HTH.

I washed mine on a cold wash and they are cotton and lined and dried them on the line and they turned out fine.

I think they may shrink a tiny amount - it worked ok for me

Just a very quick skim of the thread as I've been busy

I see Suep needs humungous hugs on the loss of her Dad xxx

Greenbee - please send Sandy my love too when you get the chance . As you said, if she's had a biopsy, she's likely to be out for a bit

Zoe - congrats on the full custody!
