Is there any way I can make my shirt looser?

Question

Well...

I recently bought a very nice tee shirt, and it fits me perfectly, but I wanted it to loosen a bit, instead of hugging my torso.

Is there ANYTHING I can do about it? Other then getting a larger size?

Should I stretch it, or put in the washing machine?

Thanks in advancee :)

Answer 1

I had a shirt that was to be a tighter fitting tee but thanks the joys of pregnancy was not to comfy in one area. I put it on the back of the kitchen chair, like it was wearing it. I did it while it was wet so that it would dry that way.

Answer 2

I hate it when a shirt shrinks! what i do is hand wash , add some softner before rinsing and , fold shirt in half (side to side not top to bottom) streach shirt (hold under the sleves )
and pull, then open it up and pull or streach from side to side and then fold again as you did the first time and then again open the shirt and streach side to side . put on hanger and let dry (outside if you can or i keep it hung up on the bathroom shower pole) i don't take chances on all my shirts so i always hand wash and do just what i told you. and my friends bring me there shirts they shrunk so i can fix them! yes you can fix shirts you shrunk or want to make wider or longer! the best , Kasza

Answer 3

what you can do is wet it and pull on it to make it bigger but i don't know how nice it will look i think the best thing to do is just take it back and go up a size or just pull on it and stretch it out

Answer 4

You can try stretching it, but be aware that it may not look as nice as it did. Putting it in the wash will make it smaller, if anything, especially if it is mostly cotten.

Answer 5

Put it over a chair that is bigger then the shirt, have someone bigger then you wear it for the day or put it on and have someone strong pull on it while you walk forward.
