Diet?

Just kidding. What kind of shirts are they? Cotton, polyester, etc.

Generally, shirts are not stretchable. If by enlarge you mean having fabric added, that is a possibility. Just not sure how it would look.

Give us more details.

I was thinking of offering my brick stretcher to see if it would help....

I've never heard of enlarging a garment, in all honesty. Not without some expensive alteration work, and for a Tee??? I couldn't imagine.

Ahh ... its sad !

I bought medium shirts (I usually wear medium shirts), but these ones were more like smalls ...

It's ok ! I'll just wear small shirts !

But do you have any tip to shrink shorts ? I bought large shorts, and they are WAY too large ... it's a 100% cotton pair of shorts, so if it is possible, could you tell me how to do that ?

Thank you very much !

Sam

Hopefully you haven't washed them yet. Wash them in hot water, and dry them on the hottest dryer setting.

I washed them but they are not dry, they are still wet in the washing machine. Should I start the machine with the shorts with hot water ?

Thanks !

Watch out for these buzzwords while shopping: Fashion Fit, Contoured, European, American Apparel. they all mean: purchase the next size up.
