Five Must-Know Tricks for Unshrinking Your Shrunken T-Shirt

Nothing ruins your fave tee collection faster than the god-forbid shrunken shirt. You know what this is about - that beloved graphic tee worn a million times that suddenly turns into a crop top after a wash.

But don't say adios to the Lion King T Shirts just yet. First, try these simple tricks to stretch it back to its original size. Anyone can bring a shrunken tee back to life with a little TLC. Let's break down five pro tips to relax cotton shirts after shrinkage.

Give It a Warm Bath

Start by drawing a sink or tub full of warm water —not hot—a nice, comfy bath temperature would do. Then, throw the shrunken tee in and let it soak for around 30 minutes. This helps loosen the cotton fibers and enables the tee to return to its regular size as the fabric chills out.

Toss in a splash of hair conditioner or fabric softener if there's some around. The conditioners help relax things even more. Then, after a nice long soak, lay your tee flat on a towel to fully air dry, and voila - hello again, favorite tee!



Instructions on how to shrink a t-shirt back to its original size

Hit the Steamer

A clothes steamer is a game changer for unshrinking Lion King Shirts. The steam helps relax the fibers and stretch everything back out. Lay your tee flat and steam all over, working in sections until the entire shirt is covered. Focus extra steam power on extra shrunken spots like the waistband.

When steaming, gently pull and shape the tee as needed. The steam loosens things up to coax the fabric in the right direction. Take breaks every 30-60 seconds so you don't scald your hands. Once steamed, lay flat again to dry and check your progress. Repeat as needed 'til your tee is back to its original glory.

Get Your Stretch On

Some good old elbow grease can fix tees that are just slightly shrunken. After washing, gently pull and stretch the shirt in every direction—width, length, sleeves, neckline—you name it. Focus on stretched-out areas piece by piece.

The key is to be firm but gentle. Don't rip the tee, but pull to coax and relax the cotton. Pull evenly across the hems rather than yanking one side more. It may take a few laundry rounds and repeat stretching but persist, and that tee will bounce back!

Iron With Steam

An iron on low heat with steam, just like a steamer, can work wonders. Lay your tee flat and steam iron each section, gently pulling and smoothing. The combination of heat and steam relaxes the cotton fibers, allowing you to ease the shirt back into shape.



Iron shirts in the proper way to become a nice tee

Be careful not to press down too hard or use a too hot setting, and keep the iron moving. Work in sections until the entire tee gets some iron love. Let it cool fully before checking your progress. Repeat as needed if any parts need more expanding.

Get It Wet And Stretch

For severely shrunken shirts, get 'em wet and stretch immediately. Hop in the shower with your tee on, or soak it thoroughly wet. Then, gently pull and stretch while still soaked.

The wetness makes the fibers extra pliable, allowing you to tug and shape the shirt more easily. Stretch widthwise across the chest and lengthwise from hem to shoulders. It takes some work, but this method helps relax the fit. Allow to air dry completely on a flat surface before re-assessing the size.

Wrapping Things Up

Don't say goodbye to shrunken favorites just yet. Try these easy tricks first to restore your favorite tee to its original glory. With patience and TLC, you can relax those cotton fibers and stretch your accidentally shrunken shirt back into shape. So grab that belly shirt tee headed for the donate pile and get unshrinking.
