Intentionally Shrinking Jeans

RE: Intentionally Shrinking Jeans By Ashley (Guest Post) I bought a size 16 from old navy they were too small so I went back and got an 18 and I can put both of my hands in them. Same fit and everything so I am putting them in the washing machine with hot water and then into the dryer on hot. I know this has worked before. Goodluck guys!

In the shop they were perfect-but as soon as I've had them on they start bagging. As they're stretch-does that mean they'll stretch back however hot the wash/dry cycle is? Or will they shrink a bit as only 2% stretch? Please help! Posted on 06/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse Shrinking Jeans By Grant (Guest Post) Some one help ME!!! I bought a pair of of tight skating jeans. But when they came in the mail, they were not very tight on me. They fit me on the waist good, but they have too much room in there around my knees. Does the bath technique really work? Please help ME! I want them to be tight.

Afterwards, lay them to dry, this is supposed to make your jeans custom fit to your body. The booklets that come along with our vintage jeans also describe this method as well.

I know that I can shrink them for a little bit by drying them on hot for a while but then since they're stretch they, of course, stretch out. I just don't understand "stretch" jeans because they're also originally tighter than regular jeans. So when trying them on it's like "ahhh this isn't my size." Is there a way I can permanently shrink stretch jeans?

The hotter it is and the longer you leave them in, the more they'll shrink.

The first thing she did when she put a new pair on was go jump in the river. Then, she would wear them until they dried. Viola! She had a pair if perfect fitting jeans. No joke! A bathtub full of warm water would probably work just as well, if you don't have a river handy. Be more comfortable, too.
