I have a 60% cotton, 35% poly, 5% lycra white button down shirt that my husband shrunk in the dryer. I would like to save it since it was brand new and quite expensive. What can I do? Will rewashing it and hanging it dry do the trick, help....

When I shrink my clothes, I usualy wear them for a bit and they eventually stretch themselves out. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
