If the fabric is preshrunk, nothing will work. Even if you do get some shrinkage it will be minor, not nearly enough to make up the difference. Plus shrinkage is not universal, not all dimensions will shrink evenly so you'll end up with a mess.

I'm an adolescent asking about laundry.
Hey fatass stop being a smartass and choke on some more green tea pills.

Nope, it won't. I have a bunch of different shirts and other clothes that I avoid putting in the dryer so that they don't shrink. Like that guy said, it's the heat that makes them shrink.

The only thing is, if you don't use fabric softener, the clothes will be a little "crispy" once they are dry. So if you use the kind of fabric softener that goes into the dryer like we do, here's a tip - if your dryer has a "no heat" setting, you can throw your line dried clothes in with a softener sheet, let it run for maybe 15-20 minutes, and they'll come out feeling and smelling good, and won't have shrunk.

So I have this T-shirt that is 100 percent cotton.
I want to shrink it 1 size, or maybe a little more. (Medium - small)

How do I wash the shirt to make it shrink that much?

Hot water wash ( check for colorfastness first.. if this is your first washing.. you may want to wash it in just warm water, and be sure to use a gentle detergent, you don't want colors to run)
High heat tumble dry. The combination of hot water and agitation, then heat drying will help to "shrink up" the fibers some. BE AWARE that there is a "direction" that fabric will most likely shrink... so you may notice more vertical shrinking, than side to side... that's just how the fabric is and it will be difficult to force. If it goes a little too much in one direction, you can re-wet it immediately, and stretch it out, then lay it flat to dry (re-stretch/tug as it dries if necessary).

Good luck.

Plz tell me is this right that it is 100% cotton shirt or 99% because i don't think that it is 100% cotton shirts available in colors.
I want to buy this t-shirt for earth day in green color.

100% preshrunk cotton; seamless rib at neck; taped neck and shoulders; double-needle stitching on sleeves and bottom hem; ash is 99% cotton, 1% polyester; sport grey is 90% cotton, 10% polyester

this says only the white is 100 percent cotton, the ash color is 99%cotton and 1% synthetic, the sport grey color is 90% cotton and 10% synthetic fiber.
