Hmmmmmmmm , thats a tough one. Sometimes 100% cotton will "warp" when it shrinks. One arm longer than the other, back longer than the front,etc. But if you want to take a chance put the dryer on the highest setting, and keep checking! DO USE HOT WATER! That will fade the color!

The dryer will shrink it a little as you just wash it normally.

Myself, I like things a little too big when it's hot out. Half a size is just moving room, IMHO.

the drying is where the majority of shrinkage occurs, which is why on a lot of fabrics, they're instructed to hang dry. I would suggest drying in a heated dryer. I know it seems to work for me!
