Thanks Angie!!!</p> <p>So I guess my options are to either</p> <p>a) put up with them<br /> b) get them altered from waist to knee<br /> c) gain a few kilos back<br /> d) shop for a new pair and keep these for casual slobbing around in and as a backup in case c) happens anyway (esp. around christmas!)</p> <p>I'm preferring option d) here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shrinking-jeans-to-make-them-smaller-around-waisthips#post-38780 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:33:39 +0000 Angie 38780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear Tam, you NEVER put jeans in the dryer: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2006/07/10/watch-out-for-jeans-that-grow/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2006/07/.....that-grow/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shrinking-jeans-to-make-them-smaller-around-waisthips#post-38721 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:39:41 +0000 yublocka 38721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello gals,</p> <p>I was wondering what peoples experiences are with using a dryer to shrink jeans? My current skinnies are getting way too baggy around waist/hips/bum/thighs. Will simply popping them in the dryer next time I wash them fix that?</p> <p>Problem is they are the perfect length (except for tucking). How much length would I expect to lose if I did that???</p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts!</p> <p>tam </p>
