Help! I shrunk my favorite jeans!

[Anonymous]

I’m so sad and could kick myself. I accidentally ran my favorite pair of jeans through the dryer and now they have shrunk! They’re a tad too short and the waist is like a size too small. Can anything be done to salvage them? Help!

Wash them in cold and hang them up. Clip trouser hangers to the bottom of the legs and, ideally, that will help them stretch a bit. After they dry, then put them on and run around the house in them.

Good luck!

Wash in cold and hang them from the ankle, not the waist.

This! Except that you should put them on before they’re completely dry, and the waist will stretch.

Most jeans are mostly cotton - some are all cotton. Of course they shrink.

“think” is doing some heavy lifting here.
