Down Cotton Shirt

I just got a dress shirt and I'm looking for information on how to clean it properly. What settings should I use on the washing machine and how should I dry it to prevent against wrinkles. I also don't have an iron so will that be a problem? Thanks for the help.

Take it to a dry cleaner. They will clean it and more importantly have it pressed for a nominal amount (usually around $2, it may be more in your area)

I have a very specific style of button down shirts that I like to wear, which cannot be too long, nor too short. Therefore, I need to wash them only, then proceed to hang them up. However, they become very wrinkled, and therefore I need to either iron them, or tumble dry them. Question is, will tumble drying a dry button down, cotton oxford shirt shrink the shirt at all? Keep in mind the shirts are completely dry, obviously if they were wet they would surely shrink. Thanks.

No, a little heat may even diminish some of the wrinkles. Do u wash in cold water? That also will prevent so many wrinkles. The only other choice I see is the cleaners or iron. Good luck.

I already washed it in hot water and dried in hot dryer but it didnt do anything! is there any other way to make it shrink 3 sizes?

short of getting harry potter then no not really. 100% cotton is hard to shrink even at 90c

I am looking for a high quality 100% cotton white, fitted, button down dress shirt for my wife. Can someone recommend a good designer and/or place to purchase? I had in mind something similar to what I wear (a lot of Charles Tywhitt), but far more femine and fitted, obviously. To be very specific, something in the x-small to small range, slightly longer arms but shorter torso. Maybe even shirts that do not tuck in. I only need to buy her one or two at most, so price isn't as much of a concern as getting a very nicely made sharp cotton shirt. Any suggestions welcome.

try upscale or department stores like nordstrom, neiman marcus, bloomingdales, steve and barrs, macys, banana republic, j crew and express
