Drying methods can affect activewear dimensions, recovery, surface appearance, and fit differently.
Heat and mechanical action in tumble drying may produce outcomes unlike line drying, depending on the fabric, trims, and construction.

If more than one drying method is offered to customers, assess each rather than assuming one test covers all methods.
