does anyone know how to stretch a sweatshirt so it's longer (not wider) again, after shrinking it?  my new sweatshirt-dress is now scandalously short, after washing it on cold and drying on low, just like the care instructions said.  do i just need to get it wet in cold water and tug at it as it air-dries

do i just need to get it wet in cold water and tug at it as it air-dries?

after putting it through the wash, hang it up and put some weights on the bottom. You can wrap a rolling pin (wood, not stone!) or empty wine bottle (or you'll get a scandalous dress...) around the bottom and pin it in - with many pins, so it doesn't tug. I did this with a sweater I knit once that I got bored with and made too short...
