you never EEEEVVVVERRR put your gi in the dryer. The only exception to do that is if you need to shrink once or twice to make it fit your size. I think that the lightweight gis are more likely to shrink a lot, the rubber collar will shrivel up, and get some damage on the fabric. But then again its your first gi, so lesson learned for you
I always put all my Gi's in the drier after I wash them. Never once had a problem with a messed up lapel or rips, holes etc.
I just don't dry on super hot temperature.
