    Has anyone successfully shrunken a Mego suit?

    I am working on a custom for someone and it would make this so much easier if I could just shrink an existing male suit to fit a female body. Has anyone done this without ruining the suit and any screenprinting on it?

    turn it inside out and resew the seams tighter to fit a girl body.

        Oh, ok. When it was suggested that I shrink the suit, I automatically thought of shrinking it by washing it in hot water or something!

            it might shrink enough to be really tight on a male but not enough to look good on a female - the polyester does not shrink that much from hot water
