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

What's it made of?

Acrylic won't shrink like pure wool, for example

Tell us what's on the label and what the washing instructions/symbols say

Is it new? This season lots of jumpers are long like that. Wear it as it is;)

I once washed some acrylic jumpers at 90deg by mistake (previous load had been teatowels:D ) but to my surprise they shrunk only a little bit, so it might be worth trying that.

Is it too long, or too wide or both? You said it was a tank. If it is sleaveless are the armholes too big? You could probably take it in a little under the arms and take it up by heming it like you would if it were a woven fabric.
