    hey everyone,
    really quick question lost quite a bit of weight this year and dropped 2 dress sizes. I have these cool jeans that are my favourite pair ever I don't want to throw them out. My question is does anyone know if its even possible to shrink jeans in any way need them to shrink from a 12 to an 8 :D....

    any ideas welcome!
    Cheers.

    From what I'm aware of the answer is no.

    You may get them so shrink about an inch and you'll probably shorten the legs by god knows how many inch! Had loads over the years and never shrunk, so had to chuck them out or give them to friends.

    Its not really possible to shrink them two sizes! I don't think even getting them taken in (which would probably cost a fortune anyway) would work either as you'll lose the shape.

    Its one of the annoying things about losing/gaining weight... You've to leave the nice stuff behind!

    Best bet, try ebay or the the shop you purchased them from to see if they've more pairs!

    OR

    Eat and eat and eat s'more

    Try drying them on a really hot tumble dry for ages. Depending on the amount of cotton to elastane you should get considerable shrinkage. You'll probably only get one wear out of them before they loosen up again though!
