i'm sure everyone has had the experience of one of their favorite shirts being shrunk in the wash. well, i have a little bit bigger shirt (100% cotton) and i would actually LIKE to have it shrunk some. i guess just keeping washing and drying it??

i think there's a limit to how much it'll shrink. i've had big tshirts that i've tried this with. they pretty much stopped shrinking.

be sure to dry w/ high heat.

Put it in the dryer for a long time. Through experience, when you want it to shrink, it doesn't... :)

this is how I used to do my laundry and my t-shirts would shrink. Wash in warm water, and then dry it in high.
