The Official My T-Shirt shrank from my emo tears

[Kenbuntu]

So heres the deal. Indie Merchstore has a deal on cheap shirts. I bought 4 of these cheap shirts and have bought 4 XL's while im a medium small. ( the measurements they gave me for XL seem liked they'd fit decently. I bought it with the intention of tossing it in the dryer to shrink it down a bit. Only if needed to of course.)

I soaked 1 shirt in hot water for a while. Then threw it in the Dryer for a bit and it came out a bit smaller. The next day i tried it again, but ironed it in after it sat in hot water for 20 minutes, then tossed it in the dryer again for a longer time ( around 1.5 hours) It did shrink but i still need it smaller. Right now its probably a Large. I need it to be a Medium at the very least. Besides the sewing route, what else could i do?

Thanks!

not only that, but if they are that cheap, then give them to somebody else who can wear them and buy 4 more.

EDIT, sorry. I didn't know this was serious thread only. Forgive my response. As good advice, why dont you just buy shirts that fit?

Great way of encouraging people to give you serious answers.



As for advice on shrinking your shirts, a method that has always worked for me is buying ones that fit in the first place.
