| Shrinking a shirt This is a really random question, but how would I go about shrinking a dog shirt. I ordered Cricket a shirt from Ebay and the small is big, it is a 100% cotton shirt and I don't want to shrink it TOO much. Would I need to wash it normally first like the tag says and then see what it looks like? Advice is greatly appreciated! thanks!

| Hot hot water is the only suggestion I have.

| If any of my girls shirts get caught in the dryer and become too small, I wash them twice in cool water, stretching them gently and air drying. The fibers seem to let go after the second wash. If it shrinks too much after hot water and dryer you can always reverse the process. |

| Shrinking shirt I usually go the conservative route, wash in warm and dryer on either medium or high heat. Depends on how much smaller I want it. |
