Ha Ha have you ever tried on a T-shirt or blouse that was kinda tight? Iron it with a little pushing/pulling pressure and your top will stretch out to fit.

I love this idea. At my ASG meeting recently, someone shared an embellished sweatshirt. She told us to stretch and iron the ribbing with steam on the bottom. It looked great and natural.
