while silk is least resistant Most drapery fabric can shrink in and even more in washing Keep this in mind when ordering draperies Line all draperies to protect against fading and fiber rotting Use good colorfast fabrics to obtain satisfactory resistance to fading laundering and If you want anwact floor or sill fit include an allowance to com pensate for up and down changes in cotton and rayon
