The zipper on my hoodie is wavy?

I washed my hoodie a few days ago and just took it out of the dryer and the part that zippers up is wavy instead of straight like it should be.


Is there a way to fix it and make it look normal and straight? Are there ways to keep it from happening again if I want to wash another one of my hoodies? Someone told me you should have it fully zipped and then wash it? Do you know if that works? Or have any other ideas?

It means that the material the zipper is sewed to has shrunk. You may be able to stretch it a little by wetting it again and gently stretching it out. You could also try ironing it when it is wet, using a warm iron.





When you wash your hoodies, make sure they are zipped, use only cool water, and if you put them in the dryer, do so only on the gentle setting with not too much heat and hang them to finish drying. Letting them dry flat would be even better, but most of us do not have the patience for that. Best of luck with it.
Reply:Yes you should always zip up zippers before putting them into the washer and dryer. That goes for all clothes. You probably had the dryer too hot and the zipper went wavy because the cloth around the zipper that holds it in place got over dried. You can't fix the zipper now except if you wear it a few times it might straighten out.
