UPDATE: I decided to keep the bigger size Stripy Tunic (my mom could alter it to make it more fitted if needed) and washed it in warm/dried on high. It shrank quiet a lot, both length and width. In fact, it shrank to fit more like the smaller size I returned so I'm glad I kept the bigger size (it gave me a little more room in the chest area). Also, found grey cropped leggings at Costco (Flexees Fat Free Dressing Firm Control Tummy Toning Legging) in steel grey that I thought coordinated really well with the Pink Stripy Tunic (as it has greyish stripes).
The Printed Tunic fit just right so I washed and air dried it and it didn't shrink at all.

I got the Stripy Tunic (100% cotton) in 2 different sizes and am not sure which one to return. The smaller size fits perfectly now and I would not like the tighter/shorter fit if it shrank. The bigger size is roomy and would actually look better if it shrank some.
I prefer to put my clothes in the dryer.
I know that things I've bought from LE Canvas did not shrink much, but my recent experience with AT Loft has me concerned as those items shrank I think a full size!

I also got the Printed Tunic which is a Tencell/cotton mix, anyone have this and wash this one yet? It is my favorite of all the Boden items I received, DH give 2 huge thumbs up. Nice neckline that is not too low and it gives me a waistline to my apple figure! It's a relaxed fit so I think if it shrank some or not it would still look good.
I'm short so I would wear these tunics as dresses.
