How to "Un-shrink" Your Clothes!

www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/
If you've ever had a favorite piece of clothing shrink in the dryer, you know how upsetting it can be! Luckily, this process makes it easy to "UNSHRINK" your clothing!

[@finthehuman3649]

I used 2 tablespoons of fabric softener instead of baby shampoo and it worked, so to anyone who wants to use fabric softener, it works

[@1amissingno]

This worked for me! I didn't have baby shampoo so I used hair conditioner per another comment and my 100% rayon pants are saved.

[@byjillee]

Wonderful!! Glad to hear it! :-)

[@Jazzwithlaz]

why is it always the husband....

[@FunkyTigerDisc]

Hello Jillee, I have a polar/fleece sweater too small for me, is it ok to use the same procedure and baby product for this specific material ? Thank you

[@wendycontreras1787]

missingno does it matter what hair conditioner it is

[@gucci_flip_flops]

Hey Jillee, I have a question. Do you know what a good substitute for baby shampoo and conditioner? Could i use vinegar?

[@donkeymilos6246]

Yep my og Nelk hoodie got fucked. Looking to get it fixed so I can sell it

[@ellynicole6655]

I always "unshrink" my cotton, rayon, cotton blend etc. clothes. I wash them cold and dry them on medium and if they shrink I dip them into my sink ful of just warm water and then hang them on my hanger from my shower rod and pull them gently and reshaped them that way. I push the item behind the shower curtain and let them drip. Later on I pull on them and see what else they need to be the length I need them to be and let them dry there. I have clothes that I have to do this process to just because they twist and are not fitting the right way, you know the sleeves or sometimes a legging leg etc. I hate when the seam is all twisted. I never use anythink other than warm water. It always works but it never works on jeans and like the lady said it doesn't work on wool. I saw a product on TV once, a solution, that worked to unshrink wool by softening and relaxing the wool fibers. I'm not sure how is called.

[@PrestonHocker]

This totally worked! I shrunk my wife's cashmere sweatpants and this helped unshrink them. A million "thanks" for posting this video.

😺😺😺

A tip for wool sweaters if they shrunk. Plunge them into very (very) hot water and when (very) wet grab it by the collar swing up and down (while hot) until the size you want. Then, while it's very wet and heavy (from the water) hang them and let the water weight do the rest. My mom done it a lot o f times and it works. Hope you like the tip and it helps.

[@SolidGoldHedgehog]

How hot is 'very (very)' hot? And I thought that heat was the reason for shrinking in the first place? Or is that only once it dries or is spun? Does the high heat momentarily loosen the fibers? And as for swinging, I worry that it would unevenly stretch, more where I'm holding on to it. And how would it affect the sleeves? Thanks.

[@RigmoreTalonbeard]

@@SolidGoldHedgehog idk try it. Too many questions

[@soulbot119]

I just put it on and take a hot shower lol bonus points if you wear it for the rest of the day, frequently pulling and stretching it in all directions as it dries

[@boccaricuisine4261]

This method really works!!! I've tried on cotton T-shirt and it came back to normal! Thank you Jillee for posting it!

[@vancitygurl]

OMG I'm so glad u made a video out of this. I read ur blog and did the same thing but wasn't sure how to stretch my pants and in what directions. I followed ur video so let's see how well it turns out 2morrow! I can't wait! Thank u so much for making this video and for this great idea on 'how to un-shrink' clothes! Love it

[@wajietaus]

I got all hyped and then you said it doesnt work for wool :D

[@danihu03]

+wajietaus I watched a few videos about unshrinking wool. I haven't tried it, but the video says to wash in hair conditoner. Wool is essentially hair, so it won't hurt it. Don't rinse it out. stretch back to shape. You may have to put something heavy in areas to hold the shape. If you don't get big enough the first time, try again. Good Luck!

[@slicap1382]

wajietaus love how positive u are lol

[@ricdastardly3764]

@@danihu03 you understand that baby shampoo and conditioner are just about the same right? what you just said is just what she said not to do with wool. you see once wool has shrunk it gets felted. there`s nothing to do about that so please avoid handing out false tips!

I just bought a brand new beautiful Rayon blouse, My husband got to it before I had a chance to get to the laundry. He also shrunk a wool cap he bought me in Ireland. To about baby size...LOL! I love my husband and I appreciate all his hard work. Thank goodness I found your video!

OMG YOU sound like me!! My husband has shrunk so many things by trying to be sweet & doing laundry Its hard to get mad when hes being so sweet.

[@9bpt782]

Oh my goodness! I tried this and I didn't expect it to work but it has and it's amazing!! I love it! 😄

[@burchil12]

This is a quick way but if you happen to have washed your clothes, take them out as they are out of the washing machine without drying them. Stretch them out at the edges you want. Make sure the garment is still wet but not too wet. This has always worked for me. Your idea is very helpful though

[@madisteady2968]

Thank you so much. I just got myself out of a lecture. I took a sweater from my older sister and threw it into the dryer unknowingly. This tip worked great!

[@newyyankees1]

u r adorable Jilee , the way u said " My dear husband shrunk my shirt" is so nice.

[@fangtian6606]

My expebsive linen curtain after wash has been shrinked 3 inches. I felt very upset about it. Then I washed your video. I tried your method, amazingly it saved my curtain, it went back to previous lenth ( before wash). Instead of using baby shampoo, I used conditioner. Thanks so much for your video. Fantastic!

[@NazianaMunglee]

Hey, does it work as well with any hair conditioner?? I just bought a pretty long dress which badly shrunk after washing :((

[@linakarlsson659]

Jillee, it does work for wool as well! with conditioner instead of shampoo :-)

[@BINGOOzi]

I recently bought a shirt from PacSun it was 100% percent cotton my mom ended up throwing it in the dryer and it got like 6 inches short! So I went online found her I used her method but I used conditioner. It worked ! I stretched a lot cause I wanted it bigger and it's perfect!

[@swift4311]

Thank you I had 4 t-shirts on retired list but after I watched your video now I did and it works pretty good now the are back to the services

This worked for me. I had some gloves that shrank in the dryer, and after treating them with the baby shampoo and warm water, I was able to upsize them to around 75% normal size.

Can you unshrink a polo shirt or sweater with/out a hoddie

[@mbompaly]

I tired this on four of my shirts,it worked fine for me. I used the baby shampoo and lukewarm water, soaked the shirts for about 15 mins, then gently squeezed the shirt to remove the moisture, used the two towels to gently pulled the shirt as mentioned in the video. I have one question, can I now iron them now and wear them or should I wash them again and wear them? and one more thing is it better to give these to cleaners outside or should I hand wash them at home?

[@kidkaptain]

Do we have to rinse out the baby shampoo out? I read in the comments about someone asking that too, but I'm wondering if having baby shampoo in the clothing is going to do anything to it after it dries.

[@MimiDidi121]

I've seen this video from others (to stretch sweatshirts, t-shirts that are too small) and this is the first time I've heard baby shampoo! Mostly it's fabric softener or hair conditioner

[@MobileDecay]

Okay the shirt is now dry and still shrunk. It looked bigger but when I tried it on it's the same. =( Edit: I figured something out. Forget the water and all the hrs of waiting for your shirt to dry. Just slide your arms up your shirt into the sleeves and make a vigorous outward motion like a bird trying to flap it's wings. Rotate the shirt to do the same thing to unshrink the stomach and back. It works if you yank the neck as well. Don't go to crazy because you could rip your shirt. Not sure how that applies to other types of clothing though.

I accidentally washed a rayon dress. As soon as I took it out of the washer, it was completely wrinkled, so I took out the excess water and then ironed it to "smooth" and "stretch" it out. Have I wrecked it, seeing as I ironed it when it was still damp? In other words, did ironing "set the fabric" so that it can no longer be stretched? This is a rayon dress that does need "ironing" because it is a silky kind of rayon. I can wait until it's dry to iron again but I will have to iron it.

[@hanneolsen7980]

Just a question: I have a kimono jacket that is 55% rayon and 45% silk, and I have a matching top that goes with it which is 57% rayon and 43% silk. They feel just alike, but the tag in the blouse says "Dry Clean Only, HOWEVER the tag in the jacket says, "wash in cold water, separately, gentle cycle, then line-dry, can also be dry-cleaned. SO I decided to wash it as the instructions said in the machine.... however, I noticed it seems like now the sides don't hang down as far, but it's not a huge difference so I dunno if it shrunk or just my perception, PLUS I followed the direction on the tag, but should I have dry cleaned it just o be safe? AND will this process work on rayon?
