Hi, I'm Rachel Yatusis and I'm going to show you how to shrink a shirt. For whatever reason, you want to shrink a shirt, the temperature of the water is going to determine how small your shirt gets. If it's something that's a really, like a sweater material, it's going to shrink a lot faster. If you just have cotton, it's going to take a little more to shrink it. Whichever shirt you want to shrink, drop it in that hot water. Let it sit in there until the water goes cold. After you do that, if you wash the shirt on the hottest possible setting in your washing machine, it will shrink it even more. And if you dry it for a long time in the dryer on a hot setting, you should come out with a shirt that's about two, three sizes smaller at least.
