Default Bella tshirt shrinkage

Are Bella shirts Preshrunk?

After washing and drying my bella t, it shrunk so badly.

I know shirts may shrink a bit, but this was horrible. There is no way I can use this brand in my collection if this is the case.

I know if i tripped out when i saw the shirt, my customers would be demanding a refund.

Im really hoping that it was just that one particular shirt, so i am going to do another wash/dry test 2night.

Please let me know. thanks

I use bella all the time never had a problem with them. I have many of them personally and they seem to be preshrunk already. Wow that stinks.

thank you, maybe it was just that particular tee. I have a bella t that i personally wear and it never shrunk either, but then i decided to print on the bella tank. After drying, i was like wow, the shirt is now a mini halter top!!!

It makes me feel better that maybe this was just my experience.

thank you

If it goes thru your print dryer too hot the spandex will shrink - and they do run small already. good luck

I use Bella Shirts the B8701 and the B8780 series.

I don't screen them, I use the heat transfer method.

We stress to our customers to wash them in cold water with like colors and lay flat to dry. Most of our customers like the tight fit after washing.

I'ld like to know what shirt your using? I'd bring some in and try them.
