I was in the mall today shopping, and I saw a sweater I REALLY wanted. The only problem is, they didn't have one in my size. So I bought one that was 1 size too big, hoping that I'll be able to shrink it somehow.
How can I shrink it in the washer and/or the dryer down one size? Will it get too small? Will the shrink be permanet? Thanks! :)

Just wash in hot water and hot dry this will shrink it a size and no this can only be reversible if you use white vinegar and stretch it out by hand other than that it won't shrink again unless you want it to but only by washing it in hot water, when you wash it again when it is at your desired size you then wash it with cool or warm water and delicate or warm dry. Make sure that this sweater is what you say it is and that it is not already preshrunk. Thats it. Good Luck !

Throw it in a Hot dryer! But only for about 10 minutes. Other wise it will keep right on shrinking.

First of all make sure that the 100% cotton isn't already pre-shrunk, if it has not been pre-shrunk then wash it in warm water and then put in dryer on gentle cycle, if this works the next time that you wash make sure that you wash it in cold water and then dry it on gentle cycle from now on.

Soak it in hot water for a few hours, then dry it on high heat. Make certain you lay it out flat when soaking it so that the water soaks into it evenly and remains that way.
