my mom bought me 2 pairs of jeans from target and i love them. one is the under the belly capri pant, and the other is the full panel jean. they are soooo comfy for my growing waiste line, which btw, has decided to all the sudden pop way the heck out there. anyhoo, so i have worn the jeans a couple of times and yesterday decided to wash them. they were kind of baggy looking on me, so i put them in the dryer thinking that it could shrink the denim a little bit. well, it shrank the denim nicely, but the panel shrank a bunch too. the panel was a little loose but the elastic at the top was keeping them up, and now the panel shrunk soooo much, it feels like i am 9 months pregnant instead of 4. they will work for a little longer, but if the panel doesn't strech back out, they will not go the distance. so just a word to those still not into maternity clothes yet, if you get the jeans from target, do not put them in the dryer.
