So, I'm doing laundry and I need to know if I can put this in the dryer.?
Question:Here is what I am washing, it says machine washable, but nothing about dryer or hanging to dry or laying flat to dry. I looked at the tag and it said nothing either. please help, I really don't want it to be ruined. http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp...
Thank you!

I have a couple of nightgowns like that and I machine wash them in COLD water, then hang them on a hanger to dry. If they're a little stiff once they do dry, you can put them in the dryer on AIR ONLY and tumble for a few minutes to soften them up.
Let it dry on a hanger then. Me I would put it in the dryer.
I personally would not put this in the dryer. Lay it flat to dry.
When you use a dryer, it softens the fabric. You loose body in the garment. Just like you aren't suppose to use a dryer for a bra, it weakens the fabric. It's the same thing with a dress like you've shown.
Your best bet would probably just be to lay it out or hang it up. Laying it out won't cause it any damage but hanging it up would let it dry faster. If you're not sure, just don't put it into the dryer.
Probably best to put it on a hanger and let it air dry if you're not sure.
It might shrink but it doesn't look like it will
In your link, on the right side of the dress it says to machine wash but nothing about drying it in the machine so when in doubt lay flat to dry.
When in doubt. always wash and then start to dry flat. If later it is still damp give it just an air dry in the dryer. Might be still damp just a tad and then hang it. Then you can take a light iron to it. This applies to all clothes when in doubt.
