im not sure if theres a topic like this but.....

don't u just hate it when u/your parents shrink your clothes? i just bought a new t shirt and only wore it twice. i washed it and put it in the dryer and guess what? it shrunk to nothing. lol has anything like this ever happened to u?

Fashion?
But yeah, it really is annoying. Especially jeans, when you wash them, they get tighter, so sometime it's harder to put them on...

my clothes usually dont shrink...but i end up doing a lot of my laundry anyways. my mom gets really upset when her stuff shrinks, but thats a different story.

Moved to Fashion

Yes, I hate it when my clothing shrinks, especially my shirts.

I hate when my pants shrink....i had wearing tight pants...but yeah i hate it as well

Let me tell you a story:

Last September, I bought a crocheted hat from AE. I loved that hat. I wore it pretty much everyday from September to May. Anyway, by April, it was pretty stretched out. Well, one night I went out. At my college, we have this weekend called "Houseparty Weekend" which is basically a big party with all the fraternities on campus. Anyway, it poured the second night, and I got really went. So I trudged back to my dorm room around 4:30 in the morning and threw all my clothes in the dryer, including my hat. When I took my hat out of the dryer, I noticed it had shrunk considerably. "Oh no!" I thought. "My favorite hat! It shrunk!" I was crestfallen. Then I put it on and realized something: it had shrunk back to its original size!. That's right--it had become so stretched that shrinking it made it the right size again.

Thank God for the ability to shrink clothing, I say.

eh, I don't mind shrinking, you just need to take care of your clothes. I like it when my jeans shrink after the wash, they fit me better.

I hate it! I buy the size that fits me well, and it shrinks to where it's too short. So I tried buying shirts that were too big for me so they'd shrink to a good size, right? Wrongg. They still get to short. And to add on to that, they're still too big in width. I've ruined 5 shirts from my last school shopping spree because of that.


But some stores have already prewashed clothes so that way they've already shrunk as much as they will.

my sweater once was shrinked..i was liek wtf?i only wore it once
but another time..i bought this shirt which was too tight for me...but whatever..thgen a few months later it streched..which really pissed me off

Arghh..me too. my mom washes mine in cold water though, so usually they don't shrink.

haha yea it sucks.
but none of my clothes shrink anymore. =O

i don't mind skrinking. i dont like it when clothes get stretched out

yeahhh its REALLYYYYY annoying. ...and so therefore, for all my tops, i just HANG dry it ..cause the dryer makes it shrink

..clothes always looks the best when it's JUST BOUGHT ..after u wash it, it gets ugly PERIOD >=p

I don't know...my mom hasn't shrunk many of my clothes before. She did once though, with one of my favourite shirts. I got pretty sad.

my mom doesn't use the dryer for much... only like socks and stuff. not shirts or jeans or anything. so my stuff doesnt shrink

I HATE THAT. So this year I started doing this - I buy clothes that fit me perfectly and when I wash them, I don't put them in the dryer so the only way they'll get smaller is if I get bigger.

my jeans shrink so much! ahhh i get so annoyed. and they get tighter and shorter so they don't last very long :(

i hate it! i love shopping online and i love polo shirts, but they shrink so easily!!! the only place i'd trust to get my polos from is jcrew.

i usually know how to wash my clothes without shrinking them. but then my parents get to em' and they dont give a damn lol. they'll turn the dryer on High power and everything lol. so then my polos shrink lol. damn polos. damn parents

No.....my mom doesnt shrink my clothes.

Yeah, a lot of my shirts are all like small now.

I wonder how you prevent shrinking.

Yes, it does suck.
3/4 of my closet are small shirts that I owned a few years ago.
I don't want to throw them away yet.
Or ever!
><;;

Yeah I know how it feels. haha Especially when some of your dark clothes got lints that you can easily see.

I personally like it when my shirts shrink because if they dont, they always end up getting stretched out sooner or later.

yes. oh yes. my Grandmother sometimes does it. I apperciate it that she is washing my clothes, but she needs to stop shrinking my jeans and stuff. >.<

Well, is it annoying when your pair of 80 dollars abercrombie jeans don't fit?

i've been wanting to shrink some shirts that are too big.. i got annoyed when my small shirt got a little tighter tho.. lol.

yeah that's why i wash my own clothes now

my mom she messed up this football jersey i had.. the number started coming off :[

and yeah.

i hate it when my blue jeans fade.

^I'm sorry

I also hate it when color fades and gosh on other shirts. My favorite pair of boyshorts (that said "bite me") got all brown and yucky. It used to be black. Also one of my old bra that used to be blue turned pink. But it was still prettty

yea I agree that sucks when a new shirt fits purfect and then what happens the god damn this SHRINKS and then who the heack wants to wearz that!

i think i know why it shrinks. cause i do want to shrink some of my clothes cause somtimes it fits better but, the reason why the clothes shrink, usually is the amount of softner you put, then you put it in the drier.

i do my own laundry and i did put a lot of softner in my clothes but i do it when i have a special batch like xl clothes. lol

but it usually is about how much softner you put in it.

that is why i wash my shirts by hand.. or in the machine but air dry it... umm yeah for pants...usually they get tighter once i put them on, but after awhile they stretch out

I HATE it when my cami's shrink. Ughhh & wifebeaters too. Grrr

It pretty much sucks when my jeans are kind of baggy, like I like them, and then they get tighter because they shrunk. Weak sauce.

I wonder if you can take them back?
Ew. You should try them on the fitting rooms duh, but if they shrink then don't dry your 90 dollar abercrombie jeans, air dry them.

ASDCFGBVYGBUIG. YES.

this always happens to my hot topic shirts, and rave shirts.
yeah, i bought this happy bunny shirt from hot topic once about a year ago, and when i washed it and put it back on, my belly button showed..D=

damn.
oh yeah, this also happens to my tank tops. i hate that.


yes, i hate hat too. when i have some jeans that are the perfect fit, and just a tad baggy around the feet, and then they shrink in the wash, and they're at my ankles.
