If your shirt has been pre-shrunk, it wont be as susceptible to more shrinking.

Determine Fabric bang out

Different fabrics will shrink based on how much water their fibers can absorb.

Excessive heat can also damage synthetic fabrics.

When the goal is shrinking, though, the rules are flipped on their head.

If the tag says not to do something that will cause shrinking, go ahead and do it.

When shrinking a shirt on purpose, go slowly.

Implement shrinking measures in small increments so that you dont accidentally shrink your shirt more than intended.

After your shirt has dried, assess your results and decide whether to repeat these steps.

Boil In Water

Heat-based shrinking can also be achieved away from the laundry room.

Try putting your shirt in a pot of boiling water.

First, bring the pot to boil on the stove.

Turn off the heat and use tongs to place the shirt in water for five minutes or longer.

Then rinse in cool water and air dry.
