Answer #1

If I get a sweater thats to big, I take the sides in about a half or a inch with sewing machine…u could do it by had or just pay 20 bucks to have a tailor do so

Answer #2

don’t put it in the dryer. put it to soak in the washer for a while in SCALDING HOT WATER! then dry it.

but first, (since in WAS $70), go back and see if they carry a smaller size or if they can order one. you know… before you ruin it.

The store doesn’t have a smaller size? You could take it to a tailor shop, see if they can do an alteration.
