k i bought some clothes that were a little too big.
due to me buying them online.
bought L when should of bought Medium.
anyways is there anyway i can shrink this close to a medium?
thanks
It would also depend on the fabric and care instructions. I'd try warm water first and hang dry. If that still is too big then go for the hot water and hang dry. It might be a LOT easier and a MUCH safer bet to have it altered instead to fit correctly. Trying to shrink it on purpose by washing it could cause the article to become horribly misshapen. If it is something you really like and spent a good amount on it........ get it altered.
one is a t-shirt, and the other is a hoody.
theyre not that important, but at the same time i love these clothes lol
Instead of trying to purposely shrink the clothes, which can easily destroy the longevity (depending upon the maker), my recommendation is to either alter them yourself or get a tailor to do it.
And with tailoring your clothes (or getting someone to do it), clothes fit and feel better. Not to mention that it shows off those curves.
What are they made out of? If they are cotton and you wash them and dry them in the dryer, they will shrink. It is heat that shrinks things.
If they contain polyester, they will probably not shrink.
