Unshrink Cotton Shirt


Question Posted Sunday January 8 2006, 5:57 pm

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....

wear it once...which it should stretch out. Then HAND wash in COLD water and hang it. It wont get back to its natural shape ever but it will be BIGGER

I would say your best bet is to wash it in cold water and hang it.
When I shrink my clothes, I usualy wear them for a bit and they eventually stretch themselves out.

it is very hard to unshrink clothes, but the best thing to do is hand wash (which you should probably be doing for expensive clothes anyway) and then stretch it out while it's still wet. lie it down to let it dry in the "shape" you want it
