Your stomach sinks as you remove your favorite blouse from the dryer and realize it shrunk, or that blouse that looked like a perfect fit at the store does not fit quite right.

To Make a Short Blouse Look Longer Instructions:
- Set up an ironing board, fill the iron with water and turn it on to the setting that corresponds to the fabric of the blouse. Lay the shirt upon the ironing board and iron out any wrinkles. Ironing the shirt eradicates any wrinkles that might be making the blouse appear even shorter.
- Wear a camisole or basic tank top of the same color underneath the blouse. The camisole extends from beneath the short blouse, giving it the appearance of being longer. The camisole also helps cover any areas of skin left exposed by the blouse.
- Wrap a belt, sash or ribbon around your waist. This will help cover and hide the short edge of the blouse.
- Wear a long cardigan, wrap or blazer on top of the blouse. If the blouse still looks short, placing a long layer on top adds length and helps hide the short blouse.
