I have recently bought a new shirt, but unfortunately it is TOO big and I CANT return it. What's the best way to shrink it? It is made out of 100% preshrunk cotton. Does that mean I cant shrink it anymore? There must be SOME way to shrink it. =/

Wash it in hot water and dry it on hot drying cycle. Preshrunk means, yes it is most likely as small as it's gonna get. But it's worth a try to shrink it some more.

Unfortunatly If it is preshrunk cotton it won't shrink much no matter what you do. If you can sew and have access to a sewing machine the best option is to try to take it in some.

warmth reasons shrinkage. Cotton will decrease if put in the garments dryer. So, in case you desire to dry your blouse interior the dryer then definite, return it for a much bigger length. and it will reason it to chop back the two approaches = length and girth. So will using warm water. it truly is kinder to outfits to apply chilly water and use a suitable washing detergent for this purpose like chilly capacity. Works in simple terms as properly in chilly and warm water yet particularly designed for chilly water. you will desire to bathe in chilly water then lay flat on a rack to dry or on a hanger yet gently pull into shape previously you gain this. It wont decrease this manner.

Usuallly it is a hot wash & hot dryer, if that doesn't work take it to a seamstress & get her to take it in so it does fit.
Good luck

wash it in really hot water, and throw it in the dryer, on hot setting.
