you either buy a shirt that made up of 100% cotton or put your shirt into the washing machine and then the dryer it usually works

Take it back to the shop and exchange it for a smaller size.
If you can't do this then whack it in the washer on a boil wash and then tumble dry it....... watch this space for next weeks question "How do I UNSHRINK a shirt?!"

Good Luck!!

You could put it in the dryer or return the shirt and get a size smaller. When you put it in the dryer make sure it's warm.

thisorthat answered Thursday January 20 2005, 6:15 pm:
It depends what it's made out of. If it's cotton then wash it in hot water by itself(in case of color bleeding). Take it out right when it's done and put it in the dryer for 45 mins or until completely dry on the highest hottest setting possible. That should do it. If it's acrylic, polyester, or other synthetics you're probably out of luck. If it's a blend it should still work but you need to make sure you don't damage the material or the color. You can ask me if you have more questions. Hope this helped. That's my advice.

after you get it out of the washing machine, instead of hanging it out to dry, put it in the dryer. shirts always shrink that way.

Karen answered Thursday January 20 2005, 5:45 pm:
Once you wash you shirt, put it in the dryer, instead of air drying it. Drying shirts in a dryer always shrinks, especially if it's made of cotton. Hope I helped :)
