I've learned it largely depends on the weave of the fabric. I've had some rayon clothes do great in the washer, while others shrank, even though I line dried them. So the best thing to do if you aren't sure is to follow the laundering instruction on the garment label, or dry clean. And if you do machine wash, it's often best not to machine dry rayon clothing; let it drip dry.
