So I bought a pretty sweet Ted Baker 50/50 wool/acrylic cardigan online but the sizing is whack (I guessed I was a "6" insted of a "5", wtf is that size ****?) and now its a size too large on me.

What is my best option? A) Return to Gilt for store credit but never see that piece again B) Sell to forum member fora nominal premium (Yes, already received request for it another thread) -or- C) Run this ***** through the washer/dryer and hope it comes out smaller.

Its super thick so I wont get a ton of wear from it in LA but its freakin sweet so Id like to keep it if so. What do ya'll think is my best bet?

I thought wool was supposed to handwashed and air dried.

What's the point of keeping a sweater that you can't and won't wear. Sell it or return it.

Well thats how your supposed to care for it, but if I run it through the dryer it should shrink. Or it could ruin it. The 4-5 times a year I wear it would make it worth it though.
