Hi. Santa came early and I have a pair of jeans that I need to shrink. They're a bit long but most of the problem is at the waist/stomach area. The fabric is 85% cotton, 14% poly and 1% spandex. If I wash them in extremely hot water and dry them do you think they would shrink with this blend of fabric? I like the jeans but if they won't skrink I'll just return them.
Thanks!

Hey Terri...I would return them and get the proper size that will "shrink for the best fit."

Yes, the blend in your jeans will shrink with repeated hot washes and hot dries

Thanks soot. I'm afraid if I try to go to a size smaller they will be too small.

Jeans are hard to fit, I have to look around for a brand that fits my shape. I say get another pair, it's rare that shrinking actually occurs where you want it too. I find the areas I do not want to shrink is where it does.

My solution would be to eat a whole pan of brownies.

Humm, maybe I should wait until after tomorrow to try them on again, after I eat. I think Ana's right, they do seem to shrink in the wrong places. Darn, hopefully I can find another pair just as nice!
