When fabric is pre-shrunk, the consumer can have greater confidence that the fit they can test in the store is the same fit they will experience after they wash a garment. Prior to pre-shrinking, cotton and other shrinking fabrics required a consumer to guess as to how much larger the garment should fit at the store, to be a good fit after laundering
