Lol!
Many moons ago, when I still had a 22” waist, I nearly panicked after my jeans were boiled (yes, literally boiled!) for over an hour in a Communist washing machine. I finally managed to zip up lying prone on the bed. I already knew Communism sucked lemons, but I was really cursing it that morning.
Carry on, ladies, and best to you!
Sounds like there is an interesting story behind those jeans. LOL
