Preshrinking Dry Clean Fabric?

Question

I have three meters of a white jacquard fabric, which I purchased to make a Renaissance style doublet. The fabric is dry-clean only. What would be the best way to pre-shrink this fabric?

Answer 1

I would take it to the dry cleaners, and have them clean it. If you try to preshrink it at home, it could easily get ruined. Hope this helps. Good luck!
