When you have a 100% cotton shirt ( or so it says on the back of the abercrombie shirt) and its just the right size, when you wash it, does it shrink? Because I really dont want my shirt to shrink. What can I do to prevent shrinkage?

wash it and let it dry on hanger instead of putting it in the dryer.

100% cotton will always shrink a little the first wash. Try washing it in cold water to help minimize shrinking. Also low heat when drying. Other wise buy one size up and you can shrink it

To prevent shrinkage , don't wash. Or go 1/2 size larger.

Hand wash or machine wash.
Use cold water wash & cold water rinse and a low dryer setting - don't over dry.

Wash it in warm or cold (not hot), and dry it gently (not hot). If you are careful, it will shrink very little.

chilly Water Flat floor to dry - ideally a internet or breathable floor otherwise it would desire to smell musty. additionally, slightly pull the perimeters outward on the shirt, no longer sufficient to stretch it out, yet sufficient to maintain it an identical length.
