I used to wear medium-sized (M) T-shirts. But now, they are small-sized T-shirts. Something was amiss when I woke up every morning to find that my T-shirt hems barely covered my navel.
Lately, did I pieced the clues together. I set the washer to 'high temperature' instead of 'perm pressed', thinking that it would be cleaner. The dryer was set to high temperature too. My T-shirts are made of 100% cotton. Eureka, my T-shirts shrunk because of the heat.
Luckily, these T-shirts are meant for sleeping only. Imagine me walking around with the shrunken T-shirts. (Puking.....) Think this fashion is more suitable for females.
Lesson to learn: Always read and follow the washing instructions on whatever you want to wash.

Alamak!! I thot u are an expert in housekeeping...how come still dunno that hot water will shrink many cotton typed clothings!?!?!? Tsk Tsk Tsk :P
Maybe u can save those clothes for future use after u trim off those excess f*ts in ur middle region :P. Who knows...short-Ts might be trendy in USA soon???! :P
I don't wear body hugging T-shirts, fitting is the word where there is still breathing space between clothes and skin.
Aiya, back home, I don't use hot water to wash nor do I need a dryer. That's why not familiar with it. Anyway, the T-shirts are cheap, so can afford to do that.
Din know that cotton shrunk in hot/warm water. But why is hot/warm water used??

Hot water, I think, gets rid of dirt easier than cold water. Warm water, as used in 'perm press' is used so that clothes won't be so crumpled.
Now, I just pull my cotton T-shirts to stretch them after putting them on.
who is garfield, Uncle?
i think ur t-shirt will go from shrunk to out of shape with you pulling it like that.
