How to shrink a jumper/top!!

**purpleprincess**

I have got a jumpery type top thing (:rolleyes: ) that is a bit too big, it is like a tank top but comes down to just above my knees and is woolly acrylic type stuff. How do I make it smaller????? Thanks!!!

Put it in my washing machine - that seems to do the trick!

Maybe 3 hours in the tumble dryer might work :rotfl: After a boil wash :eek:

Clearly, because you actually WANT the item to shrink, there is no earthly way it will do it (unless it excels itself and shrinks to Barbie doll size).

Now, if it was a touch too small ... that would be a different story entirely.

Actually, it'll probably expand, and only in one direction!

Belt it and wear it as a sweater-dress. Over jeans if you are not brave with nice legs.
