Whats the Best way to shrink a cotton t-shirt???

Question

The shirts I wear for work are way to big on me. i picked out mediums but theyre more like larges and I'm swimming in them and I'll have to pay if I want some more shirts in small. I've tried washing them in warm water and it didnt shrink it, what else can I do?

Answer 1

wash and dry , dry hot

Answer 2

Step 1. Wash the shirt it Hot Water - First set your washer for a SMALL load and set the water temperature to hot. You can also add some boiling water to the washer also to increase the temperature. Always wash the shirt inside out to preserve the printing.

Step 2. Dry the t-shirt on the highest temperature setting possible and leave it there until it is bone dry.

Note: One thing to keep in mind however is that any clothing item that you shrink at home may not shrink in the ways you want it to. Often the results are uneven or the shirt is too short, or not wide enough or the collar or sleeves did not shrink in relation to the shirt. Therefore when you attempt this, the results are always risky and you may not get want you want, leaving you with a T-shirt that does not fit right and doesn’t look good anymore.
