shrinking shirt


Question Posted Tuesday May 17 2005, 5:29 pm

I have this shirt that is 100% cotton. It's a bit too loose and it's suppose to be form-fitting. I want to shrink it so it fits my body but not too much because then it won't fit at all! How can I make it shrink just a tiny bit? PS dont tell me to return it!

Additional info, added Tuesday May 17 2005, 5:42 pm:
**if i hand wash it with hot water, and hang dry it outside in the sun, will it shrink?.

When you wash it, make sure you put it into the dryer.

I would say superglue it together, so then its really shrunk and from there you can tailor it to your fit, and likeings.

If that doesnt work, stick it in an oven when its hot and turn it up to 350. Wait about 5 mins, then atke it out. It'll be shrunk then.

If that last one doesnt work, try the normal, not so fast ways.

Oh trust me i know everything about shrinking things..ugh..
OKay. Put it in your washer and wash as usual. Then put it in your dryer for half the drying time, and then take it out and dry it out on a hanger for the rest of the drying time. If this didnt shrink it good enough, do the same thing over again. Good luck!

wash with warm or hot water, then hang dry it, when it's still slightly damp wear it. that should help.
