#2. The secret to well-fitting everyday clothes is Lycra. The formulas to look for: 95 percent cotton/5 percent Lycra spandex for T-shirts, and at least 2 percent Lycra for jeans to hold their shape.
#3. "Never put your swimwear in the washing machine, and always hand dry. The machine will damage the suit and it will lose its elasticity. The only exception: At the end of the summer or vacation, wash your swimwear in lingerie washing bags on the gentle cycle with a bit if Drift or Woolite. But only after many wears." — Shoshanna Gruss, Designer
