My only beef with this is - why buy a garment if you don't know if it will fit? I would still wash it when I got it home, but I would hope to have some idea if the garment was going to fit me or I wouldn't buy it in the first place. The fit can change fairly dramatically between ironed and un-ironed - particularly the set over the shoulders, and sleeve length, so I would recommend at least basic ironing.
What if you don't iron clothes anyway though ๐ค
My own clothes - I don't. But items to donate I'll give them a touch up for the above reasons. The charity may or may not have an iron or pressing facilities or may not be willing to do it.
Yes but I'm not the one selling them.
