stretching a tanned cape

How do you stretch a wet tanned cape back to orginal size? We recieved some wet tanned capes ,measured them ,ordered forms,and froze them.When the forms got here thawed out capes they didnt fit. Do you have any ideas for this problem. Any help would be great, thanks

they shouldnt shrink in the freezer, stretch as much as you can and if they still dont fit id say you measured wrong.
good luck.

Grady, try sweating the capes in the frige first,than stretch the neck a bit before test fitting.I tube all my capes-put my arms inside the cape pushing in different directions-and this is usually enough.If this doesn't work you should probably try measuring your capes after they are tanned.
