Advice needed.

Bought a brand new tagged onesie on vinted. Said one size fits all. But it's beyond too big. I've read I could shrink by hot washing and high heat tumble drying. Has anyone done this? Or any advice to shrink this oodie. It's so lovely but wayyyy too big.

Thankyou all 😄

I am not a skinny gal and mine is gigantic on me. They're supposed to be huge.

Yeah I know they're supposed to be over sized but this is really oversized on me. Just wanted advise on how to shrink.

They’re meant to be huge! My 8 year olds fits me and I’m 7 months pregnant

Don't shrink it. Why would you ruin it??

Sell it on and get a smaller one.

My 24 year old can fit into mine with me. They are supposed to be like that. Why would you want to shrink it??

I just want to shrink it a little cos the leg length is way too long. Feels a bit uncomfortable.
I am aware they are supposed to be huge....

I’ve washed and tumble dried mine loads of times and it’s never shrunk. Resell it and try to find a kids one if you want more of a smaller fit.

You won’t shrink it by hot washing/tumble drying you’ll just ruin the soft fleece inside.

Just resell and buy a kids one? Ds has a kids one and it’s still oversized on me!
I’ve donated it to the office coat rack in case anyone ever gets cold, I hate wearing bulky heavy layers and so did ds so it never really got any use!
