Question

Answer 1

hott water

Answer 2

if it is not preshrunk cotten yes it will shrink (in the dryer after you wash it of coarse) but evenly, so the width will not decrease much, it will only look shorter and "chubbier"

Answer 3

I don't know if you can have your cake and eat it too, but you can try hot water. After it spins out hang it on a hanger and kinda pull on the bottom of it, let it hang to dry and iron it. Good luck!!

Answer 4

Try putting it in the dryer

Answer 5

throw it in the dryer for a couple times

Answer 6

put it through the wash(unless the tag says "preshrunk" then sorry...)
