Shrinking Clothing

RE: Shrinking Clothing By Sally_Admin (154) Profile Blog! Contact (Submitted via email) I just bought a sweatshirt that is a XL, and is at least 1 size to big or maybe even 2. Is there something to do that i can shrink it? hot water? salt? What can I do?

The label says don't wash, don't bleach, and don't iron. Dry clean only. It is 65% acrylic & 35 % wool. Any ideas?

If they are a tube construction with no side seams they will almost certainly twist. If they have side seams and the weave on the front and back panel is in the same direction then they will twist a bit. If the front and back panels have the weave in opposite directions then they will still deform a little but not as much.

(Crazy isn't it? I never thought about going for the tight tee look.) I don't want to buy a small just to wash it and have it shrink so it's too small. If I buy a medium will it shrink down to around small?

Also, what you all are saying isn't completely true. If you have a colored shirt, hot water will make the color bleed. Do it on cold water though. I doubt either way you wont have 'shrinkage' Posted on 11/27/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Shrinking Clothing By Vaz (Guest Post) I have a 100% cotton pullover - looks kinda knitted like a jumper. Its a bit big and i like my clothes tight - will putting it in the dryer shrink it? It says on the label to 'line dry'...

I put some elastic through the belt loops to make a sort of belt. (I always wear my tops on teh outside so it never shows.)It's a nice casual baggy look - in style now....
