I bought a pair of dress pants, and they are a bit too big, so I am curious if they will shrink when I wash and dry them. They are 63% Polyester, 34% Rayon, and 3% Spandex.

No, sorry, but the man-made blends you listed won't shrink.
Cotton, wool, linen, these natural fibers have a tendency to shrink, but not poly blends which are essentially nylon(plastic).

RE:
Will a Rayon and Polyester blend shrink?

ALL OF THE FABRICS LISTED WILL SHRINK. THESE OTHER PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!! Rayon goes to the dry cleaner so IT WON'T SHRINK. Natural fibers can shrink if your not paying attention but in cold water wont shrink. These fibers are blended for shape and hang of a garment - GEEZE! WASH THEM IN HOT OR WARM WATER AND DRY THE S H I T OUT OF THEM. Hope your small! Good luck.

shrinking clothes is a bad idea, you can not control which direction it shrinks and with that much polyester it is not going to shrink, live with it, give it away or get it taken in, those are the choices

Most clothing with rayon requires dry cleaning. If the label says washable, the you have nothing to lose but I don't think they will shrink. Good luck.

Yes, unless you want some tights, Take them to the cleaners, if you didnt have no spandex and less Polyester, it wouldnt shrink. But i promise it will.

Synthetic fabrics don't shrink, it's the natural fabrics that shrink
