It shouldn't shrink much at all if good quality and if pre shrunk then virtually nothing, of course this depends on the drying temperature...
In the case of say wash and dry on hot temp then again depending on quality you could shrink as much as 10 to 15%
Personally if you want to keep shape and size then warm wash and dry on rack keep out of clothes dryer..♥

Depends on how hot the water you washed it in was and how cheap the cotton is. Cotton should not be washed in hot water ever by the way and the dryer should be set for cotton material. This will reduce the fading of the fabric as well as the shrinkage.
