    Hey, I was just wondering if there is absolutely any way that shrunken clothing is fixable. I got this sweet Led Zeppelin sweater and after just one wash it shrunk down. It fits but not comfortably at all, and it really sucks to wear cause it looks and feels kinda goofy, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of being able to stretch it out again? Is something luike that even remotely possible:confused: ?

    thakns a lot for any suggestions

    what is it made out of?


    I'd try getting it wet then
    lay it flat to dry. Slightly stretch it out while it is still wet. Hope this helps you out some. Keep that sweater away from your dryer!
