I have accidentally shrunk some wool clothing in the same manner but I turned a nice, vintage Swobo cycling jersey into a sport bra. What I have now are some very nice silk shirts that are just slightly too large. Does anyone have some practical advice?
Thanks,
Bill

Yes, it will shrink. Just wash by hand in cool/cold water, stretch and hang dry. Or you coould always send it to the cleaners to be safe.

I dont think you will like the feeling of the silk after being scalded with hot water.

I don't think Silk shrinks much, buddy Bill.

Dip it in liquid nitrogen and then throw it in boiling water with lemon.
be careful this is very dangerous.
