I bought a burberry shirt from Ebay, but it's too big for me. Can I make it smaller by drying with high temp??

Question

I won a burberry shirt from ebay for $30,, wow ~~

I was sooo happy, and it was way too big for me,, I bought XL, but I need L,

I want to exchange it, but It would cost me more than half price of the shirt to send it back to the seller who lives in UK...

Even though, I wear XL Hollister, XL Abercrombie, this shirt doesn't fit,,

Is it preshrunk one or something??

If not, can I make it smaller by drying with dryer in high temp???

Answer 1

don't try to shrink it in the dryer, you'll also shrink the seams and make it puckered. Try taking it to a tailor, they'll be able to size it without ruining it.

Answer 2

If it's made of 100% cotton or a cotton/polyester blend, washing it in warm or hot water and drying it on high in the dryer will shrink it somewhat. Don't expect miracles though. It may shrink one size if you're lucky.

Answer 3

Drying it in the dryer at high temp doesn't work for me at all, and if the shirt is cotton it fades really easily.

Answer 4

it might but you should try what you said about drying it at high temp it will only shrink a little bit

hope it works!

Answer 5

If its cotton it will shrink
