I know this isn't ideal, but, assuming they're cotton, if you saturate the shirts with cold water, you can stretch them. Once they're fully soaked, start at the top of the shirt (like under the armpits) and gently tug from both sides outward to increase the width. Work your way down from the top to the bottom. Then, repeat except gently tug the length in the same fashion. Let the shirts air dry-- you can air fluff them in the dryer with a fabric sheet if they feel stiff. This should give you a few extra inches and maybe make them workable! The key is to do this while it's wet.
Hope this helps!

This sounds like a good idea! They are ribbed tanks tho soo it might mess with the writing. thanks for the idea tho
I would sell them and buy new. Someone will want them.

Ahh, well, if you can't get your money back anyway it may be worth trying on yours. Another option would be to put it ON while it's wet and gently stretch it that way, seeing where the writing falls etc. I have done BOTH of these things many times and it really does work! I shrunk my favorite little summer dress last year to the point where it was so short my tush would have hung out if I wore it, and this method fixed it right up. I am able to wear it like nothing ever happened, and it wasn't even cotton, it was some weird synthetic. Anyway, maybe try it on just one first and see how it goes??? Not much to lose!
I hate how off bridal sizes are from the real world. Brides and bridesmaids come in all sizes!
This is what stinks about ordering online.
