Why!

Alright, why is it that shirts only shrink length wise!?? I mean really, if I wanted a crop top I'd buy one! I have wasted so much money on the cutest tops, only to be able to wear them once! Yes, I check the tags, but my washing machine doesn't discriminate between cotton or poly blend. What starts mid thigh, will inevitably end up above the belly button. Not a pretty site on a plus size woman!! Well, that was a little too much information, but hey, what's a blog if you can't share!?
