Hot wash, high heat dry. If you don't want to fade them too much, don't use detergent, but do add brightener or color-safe "bleach."
Or you could send them to me for maternity use :-).

Hmmmmmmmm , thats a tough one. Sometimes 100% cotton will "warp" when it shrinks. One arm longer than the other, back longer than the front,etc. But if you want to take a chance put the dryer on the highest setting, and keep checking! DO USE HOT WATER! That will fade the color!

But will hot water increase the likelihood of some shrinkage? I'm not too concerned about the color fading; one dress is an ultra-dark navy, nearly black, the other is khaki. They are both sleeveless. They are actually girl's dresses, size XL, which is around a 16. I usually wear a girl's 14. They are romper-style dresses, really, just something I'll wear around the house.

The only suggest I have has been repeated several times - hot water and hot dryer.

Rather than trying to shrink it, couldn't you just alter it? Take in the baggy parts?

It should only last a couple more weeks. I just have to eat all the time :-(.
