# How to Make an XL Shirt Smaller
If you have lost weight and can no longer fit into that extra-large T-shirt, you don't have to throw it away. You can shrink your shirt at home for a better fit. Exposing cotton T-shirts to high heat and moisture will cause the fabric to shrink considerably when the garment dries. This process will only work once or twice; there is a limit to how much you can shrink cotton.
