I just washed some clothing, and I think I may have added a bit too much liquid fabric softener (normally i don't put too much, but this time i followed the label). Now my clothes, particularly my school uniform, seem to be too soft. Is there anyway to make them a bit more stiff, or will this just happen over time?

Fabric softener is very toxic.
FABRIC SOFTENER
Fabric softeners are some of the most toxic products made for daily household use. They contain chemicals (like chloroform, benzyl acetate and pentane) that are known to cause cancer and/or damage to lungs, brain, and nerves. These chemicals are even more dangerous when heated in clothes dryers.
Fabric softener chemicals are made to stay in clothes fibers and slowly release for a very long time. That slow release of chemicals into the air affects the health of those wearing the clothes and of people around them.
To use vinegar as a fabric softener, fill the washing machine with water and add ¼ cup of baking soda and then the clothing. During the last rinse cycle add ½ cup white vinegar to the softener dispenser.

Re-wash your clothes, add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the wash load, this will strip all the fabric softeners and scents out of clothes.

I would just wear them anyway and use less the next time you wash them.
If they're that bad, just rewash them.
