Can you shrink the sleeves of a shirt, but not the whole shirt?
my school uniform shirts are kind of weird, the size of the shirt is how i like it, not too long, they are kind of short how i like it... Butttttt, the sleeves are kinda longer than i would have liked, they are pretty long, is there any way possible that i could shrink the sleeves a little with shrinking the actual shirt as little as possible?

How to shrink a 100% cotton Dickies shirt?
UH since you have done all that it is probable that they won't take them back. Most of the Dickie shirts that are 100% cotton are preshrunk just so they wont shrink anymore, because most people who buy them that size need them that size. Give them to an older brother or a friend, or sell them on Ebay. Because to get them any smaller means a trip to a tailor or an altering seamtress. Not worth the money you spent. Go Buy 3 new ones IN YOUR SIZE!!!
How do I shrink polyester clothing?
From WikiHow:“Polyester is a durable material that resists shrinkage. This is great if you plan to use your dryer, but less so when you get a shirt that’s too big. However, if you dedicate time and effort to it, you can actively shrink clothing made of polyester. If you don’t need the garment to shrink too much, you should only need to use your washing machine and dryer.Turn the garment inside-out. Heat high enough to shrink polyester is also high enough to cause colors to fade. Turning your garment inside out before washing will help protect it..Avoid washing multiple garments together. Turning the garment inside-out will reduce fading but won’t prevent the colors from bleeding.Wash the garment in extremely hot water. Set the washing machine to the hottest water setting and the longest wash cycle. Make sure to use both a hot wash and a hot rinse, since hot water is much more effective for shrinking polyester than cold water.You don’t need to add detergent to the washing machine, but it won’t interfere with the shrinking process. Only add detergent if you’re looking to wash the garment as you shrink it.Transfer the garment to the dryer immediately. Dry the polyester garment using the hottest heat setting and the longest drying cycle. The extreme heat is what will do the most work in shrinking the garment.Check the garment for shrinkage. Pull it out of the dryer and let it cool to room temperature. If additional shrinkage is necessary, repeat the washing and drying steps to further reduce the size.Note that the more often you wash and dry the garment, the more color fading you may notice.Only attempt this a few more times. If you still cannot achieve significant shrinkage, consider using an iron.”
I am a 21 year-old male but too short (5' 4"). I am constantly referred to as the kid and I feel that I am never really taken seriously. Girls don't like me. Can I do anything to improve my height?
There was a short guy who merely conquered the whole europe, his name is Napolen. Have you seen the HBO product "the game of throne". There is a role named Tyrion. In real world, people aren't judge you by your common characters. People judge you by your special characters.
How do i get my parents to buy the right size of clothes/shoes for me?? PLZ HELP ME IM REALLYFRUSTRATED?
I used to have your problem at your age with the weight and the height, and people would try to give me clothes that billowed all around me like a circus tent, sometimes even saying, "I know you won't grow into that, but it's the fashion to wear 3x so don't worry! You look COOL." Well...the way I resolved the problem, since telling my parents and other family members and friends what size I was did not work? I announced one day that I was certain I could start buying my own clothing and shoes, please (with a smile) and then I would not have to alter so much, give away so much, and look so...weird...so often. It was a slow start since my parents had some very strict rules about clothing, and I had to work hard to convince them over time by showing them the types of clothing I'd consider. As a side note, the only times I changed sizes after age 12, besides after college, were a few times in sophomore and senior years. At any rate, I was still able to wear the same size clothing during my entire junior high, high school, and some college, despite no longer being 4'11" and 89 pounds. :D At some point, they will need to start letting you choose your own clothing one day. What I'd do if I were you if you want it to be sooner rather than later is start showing them you'd make responsible choices that don't upset them. They're more likely to loosen their reins. The size and weight you listed, I think it really depends on your bone structure (small, medium, large) because I've seen some relatives who only weighed 72 and couldn't fit size 0 without some alteration because they have large bones. That's extreme though.... I'd say you can still wear kid size clothing, but your parents are probably wanting you to start wearing something more your age, but not TOO old. So probably still get clothing from the preteens section, size M-XL, women's XXS or XS if you see something appropriate, depending on the cuts. You don't want clothing to fit tightly OR way too big. Just a little big is alright if it's the compromise you need to make to show your parents you are not trying to drain their banks by needing new clothes all the time.
Does your daughter wear girls plus size clothing?
When I was about 10-12 years old, I was a little husky (even though thats a term for boys). But, I remember being able to find clothes at Sears and JC Penney that carried plus sizes. If your daughter is just a bit husky, and might be right before or going through that puberty age...she might eventually grow out of it, like I did. Don't let these other people who are judging your parenting based off your child's size bother you. Every child is different.
