Can a 100% cotton preshrunk shirt shrink?

Question

I just bought a shirt and i stretched out the sides of my shirt. It is 100% cotton, preshrunk, size small. I only wore it one time, and washed one time. Can it still shrink and go back to its original shape if i wash it again?

Answer 1

If you use very hot water you might be in with a chance.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Cotton knits will shrink some w/a hot water wash and a hot dryer.  Usually the items may shrink some in the length and the knit may appear to be tighter.

Washing clothes in hot and putting them in a hot dryer could cause clothes to fade or pill up.

Try not to stretch clothes too much.  Most items will lose their shape after being stretched out several times.

Answer 3

It can still shrink....even after washing it a few times...especially if you toss it in the dryer afterwards.
