it depends on what setting you put it on. if you put it on hot and make it dry a long time then it will shrink. you should dry it parcially and then hang dry it or just hang dry it so you dont make any chances of shrinking it. (:

How do you shrink a shirt a size smaller?

It just depends on how much cotton is in this shirt. If you want to shrink it, put it in the dryer for like 20 minutes and it might help a little bit.
