Reply To: How to safely shrink lycra material?

[the_professors_assistantKeymaster]

Washing your garment in cold water on a delicate cycle and then in the dryer will shrink it, if it’s possible to even be shrunk even more. Usually it will shrink if if it’s a lycra blend but there is a chance with lycra that it will not shrink at all and you’ll have to resort to taking a needle and thread to it. Also, the seamstress may have already preshrunk the fabric before she even started working with it. sorry for the bad news 🙁
