Hot water + DRYER (biggest shrink monster ever- especially when you don't mean it to)
You can alter them drying too, so if it's shrunken but you want it to be long, hang it from the bottom of the shirt.
Just remember, hot=shrinks
To get jeans the right size I actually just wash them in cold water and then hang them from the bottom of the pant leg. This way the legs get longer and the butt gets smaller.

A good way to shrink clothes in to wash them in the hottest water setting on the washing machine. I found this out by accident. Just turn you washer setting to hot and wash away. Your clothes should get a bit smaller. I hope ths helped.

The dryer is the biggest criminal. when I even have something i do no longer desire to chop back i'm constructive to dangle it to dry. often times this leaves your clothing a sprint stiff and wrinkly, 'nonetheless, so whilst it somewhat is the case you are able to take the dry merchandise and toss into the dryer on air fluff or maybe low warmth for a jiffy, and then it's going to be as delicate as though it were dried, yet without the shrinkage!

Wash it on the hot cycle, and put it in the dryer a few times...
