How do clothes shrink?

When clothes shrink, the fibers that make up the fabric constrict due to exposure to heat, agitation (such as being tumbled in a dryer), and/or changes in pH levels (as in the case of washing with hot water or harsh chemicals). This causes the fibers to shorten and become tighter, resulting in the overall garment size reducing.
