Just over a month ago, I was sent the Get Shrinking, Shrinking Violet pack to test out. This pack retails at £129 and is available to purchase here. It’s expensive. £129 is a third of the money I budget myself for a month so picking one of these kits up is not something I’m likely to do unless I know it works!! In the pack is your shrink outfit which is a long sleeved top and trouser set made from a thick plastic material.Also in the box is 200ml of the shrinking oil, a tape measure, measuring cup, measurement log...
