Problem 1 - how to not shrink my 100% cotton shirt? They all shrink after wash!
Tips- Wash them in cold water only and avoid the dryer but still...learn toread the label. If it is 100% cotton, you should take one size larger than what you need.
Some clothes for works could get dirty enough to need cleaning with warm or hot water...
There are pre-shrunk 100% cotton clothes...the fabric will be washed in very hot water three times and dry them in hot dryer...before they be used to cut into making of clothes...So, buy pre-shrunk or get one size larger.
