All my life I fought clothes that shrunk or I got bigger (I can never tell which one was truly the reason) but now I want the opposite to happen. I want to shrink some of my jeans, sweaters, shirts etc. Any ideas? I tried hot and then cold washes, drying them in the sun, even doing that a couple of times over, still didn’t help.
Re: shrink
to shrink jeans wash them in really hot water...then dry them on high heat and leave em in the dryer afterwards.....i left mine for 2 hrs. worked for me
cotton usually shinks easily..but its hard to shrink Synthetics
oh and you can also throw in a dryel sheet. it helps the fabrics shrink faster
Re: shrink
I leaft my jeans overnight! Didn't help.
Re: shrink

Re: shrink
No bhaijaan, I was hoping you knew of an off the shelf product that will do the trick.

Re: shrink
Pink I will try the dryel sheet. Thanks.
And I didn’t buy my clothes big, either I am getting thinner or the clothes are getting bigger. :gumpy:
Re: shrink
My hubby says, i am very good at shrinking all his clothes. All i do is wash them in warm water in a long cycle and dry them at very high temp for about 45 minutes and viola...you have shrinked clothes and than we have a major "Fight" over me shrinking his new clothes.
So, Ahmadjee, if you want send them over coz you are dealing with an expert clothes shrinker:)
Re: shrink
Buy a magic wand and try some magic on it if the dryer part doesnt work. Watch Harry Potter for some more ideas.

I think wo iss liye shrink nahi ho rahin kyon k wo
already shrink ho chuki hoon gi, when you washed em the very first time.
Re: shrink
You know, most clothes today, especially jeans are already preshrunk, so washing them may not make much of a difference. You can always take them to the tailor and have them fitted.
