How do I shrink a cotton t-shirt?
I've been told just putting it on a hot wash will do.
What about if the t-shirt has a printed design on it - is there any danger it will peel off?

why do you want to shrink it? and what difference does it make about the print, ul hardly be able to wear it again!?

Give it to my mother and you'll get it back 2 sizes smaller wheter you like it or not lol.

Give it a boil wash then tumble dry it.

What I mean is - shrink it slightly, .i.e. shrink it by one size, so it's not so baggy.

I don't have a tumble drier - is this a crucial part of the process?

Whenever I shrink anything (usually by accident) its the tumble dryer that is guilty.
