Yes.
I made a formal gown from seersucker (it wasn't puckered and I did not pre-wash it) I then took the left over and made dh a shirt... I washed it AFTER construction....ooopps... it shrank and puckered up so much he couldn't get it on.... double oops.... anyway... long story short... if you are going to us seer sucker prewash first regardless of what it's going to be used as and then press before construction if you don't want to deal with the puckers.
OOOHHHHH, thanks for the heads up! I didn't know it would shrink (I'm not normally a pre-washer) but I will pre-wash this! Thanks again!
