Well, I bought some new clothes, which, after washing, shrunk a bit.....the problem with that is that these garments were sort of tight things.....now theyre even tighter.....or too short. Is there a way to get them back to what they were before?? Or should I just say good-bye to them?

Wash them in cold or luke water on the gentle cycle, while there still damp put them on and stretch them out to where it feels comfortable to you, Let them air dry flat, then iron them on a low setting. Never dry them in the dryer again or wash them in hot water.

Most of the time, when a garment shrinks it makes the fabric thicker. So, the item never really looks the same.
You could try taking it to a dry cleaners and asking them to block it. They will stretch the fabric and reshape it for you. Sometimes this is successful but, often not.

Once shrunk, it is too late. The only exception to this rule depends on the fabric. If the fabric is really stretchy, you might be able to lenghten the garment by pulling and tugging at it. Ironing might even help. It sounds to me though like they might not be able to be restored.

warm water will shrink something this is a hundred% cotton, yet a lot of human beings use warm water for white clothing. that's greater proper to apply heat water and put in fairly Clorox to maintain the t-shirts sparkling and white. comparable with the dryer, do no longer use the main well liked putting. you need to enable them to hold dry, yet a hundred% cotton wrinkles somewhat and you're able to then ought to press them. quickly as they're usually dry without being overly dry, take them out and enable them to end air drying on a plastic hanger.

Re-wash them and pull and stretch the fabric back into shape then hang dry.

i end up not being able to wear them, if they arent too increasingly uncomfartable i suggest you wear them, but because clothes cant shrink twice, you should add a softener to ur laundry and see if it makes them more comfortable or just pull on the ends.
