so i let me friend borrow my tna supplex jacket.
i was SOOO STUPID! she is fatter than me (no offense)
so when she gave it back it's like totally stretched out!!
How do I shrink it?
i am an xxsmall- she stretched it to an xsmall-small? around there

I know the obvious choice is to put it in the dryer, but would it shrink to much?! And if i put it in the dryer would it wreck the material? Would it burn it?
I don't want the sleeves to shrink. I just want it so shrink so that there isn't a huge wonk of fabric hanging around my back and tummy area. I was considering buying new one. But nahhh thats a waste of 100 bucks.

Anyways if any of you guys tried it reply backk please Happy

thanks

Whatever you do, don't put it in the dryer! It will get bubbles on it, and look ugly. Maybe try washing it in warm water?

what if i blow dry it with a blow dryer?
do you think that may work?

I think just washing it would help because normally when you wash something it retains its shape. I would just let it air dry and then if it isnt shrunk back a bit then try blow drying it.

^Yeah, thats what I would do.
For sure NO machine dry though!

Hot water wash maybe? I think that helps shrink clothes...

do NOT wash it in hot water and do NOT dry it in the dryer. supplex materials DON'T SHRINK. they stretch out even more when you wash it in hot water, thats why on the label it says to wash in cold water and let it air dry. you best bet is to buy a new one, or just wash it like you normally would and let it air dry flat on a table or something, don't hang-dry.

DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DRYER YOU'LL RUIN IT.
youu can try to wash it again and it may go back to its normal size (im pretty sure it will)..just try it..no harm in simply washing it Happy

good luck!
