Fixing shrunken linen

Well… my wife washed AND dried my linen shirts in the dryer (sore subject). They have now shrunk to where they’re too small to button and not have them pull. I’ve researched and seen a few methods of “recovery” by soaking them in shampoo and conditioner and then pulling the fabric after rinsing and letting them hang dry. I plan to try that, but does anyone have any first hand experience? If you’ve done something that works please let me know!
