Problem with a dress shirt!

Hi,

I have recently started to spray starch my shirts.
Being a novice i had usually only done the collar but i decided to do a whole shirt one day.
However i think i sprayed too much on and the shirt was like cardboard!!
I then washed it to see if it would wash out starch but unfortunately my wife didnt realise it was in there and threw it into the dryer with a few other things and it has shrunk as well as being still a bit stiff.
Is there any way of remedying this?

If its shrunk youre stuffed.
Give it to a charity shop

or i guess ill just have to diet a bit!!

is there a better way of getting the starch out of the shirt?
otherwise ill just wash it a few times and see.

Well, great minds think alike, i was going to suggest that but thought better of it.:D

Yes, i think washing it will solve half the problem at least.

Lite bulb moment - move the buttons :rotfl::rotfl:

just checked the shirt and it is 97% cotton 3% elastane and its made by "Guide of London" if thats is familar with anyone.
it seems to be a bit stretchy like elastic, which i guess is elastane.
i have another one exactly the same but a different colour and it isnt stretchy and i dont think the white one was stretchy before spraying it with starch.

will washing it and pinning it help to stretch it?
