How much will a 100% cotton shirt shrink if I put it in the dryer?

I have a 100% cotton flannel and it is a size M. I think it is too big so maybe if I put it in the dryer and set it on high repeatedly, will the shirt shrink a lot? maybe even to the same size as S? thanks!
Will the overall shirt shrink?


There is a good chance that it will shrink to a size small if it has not already been dried and shrunk already. If it is a brand new shirt, you have good chances that it will be the size you will like after a few cycles.

Good luck.

Try washing it in very hot water and letting it air dry. You might be able to dry it in the dryer if you put it on a very low setting and check it frequently, but if the markings are made of certain kinds of rubber they can put out harmful fumes.
