Abstract

A method for displaying a shrunk article of clothing includes the steps of providing a shrunk article of clothing entirely reduced in size obtained by subjecting an article of clothing having a single large size to a tying process and/or a shrinking process, the shrunk article of clothing having an entirely reduced size fixed with a tying string for performing the tying/shrinking process, and displaying the shrunk article of clothing with the tying string in a state that the shrunk article of clothing with the tying string is held in a predetermined shape without subjecting the shrunk article of clothing to a finishing process of removing the tying string from the shrunk article of clothing. Thus, a user can selectively subject the shrunk article of clothing to the finishing process to obtain a shrunk article of clothing with elasticity due to the tying process and/or the shrinking process as a final product capable of fitting a wearer of any size.
