Great forum. I hope you can help me. My favourite pants (75% wool) have shrinked - I have accidently put them in the washing machine with other stuff (the label sais dry cleaning only).
If there anything I can do to de-shrink them back. May be wash in some chemical and try to put on me and dry like that? :-)
Unfortunately once things shrink I don't think there's anything you can do to un-shrink them. If it didn't shrink a lot and the shrinking was somewhat uniform and the seam allowances are big enough you could try taking it to a tailor and see if it can be let out, that's the only thing I can think of.
On the flip-side, so you know anyone small enough to wear them, now that they are "re-sized"?
When we were in Colorado, bought a wool sweater for DW like that. Original size was XL, but fit a size 5 woman. I guess in today's sizes she would be a 2 (about 5ft 4in and 97 lb). She loved it when we went into the mountains in the snow - never got cold in that sweater.
