Will Uniqlo dress shirts shrink in a cold wash and medium dryer?

[enigma77]

Subject says most everything. I'm thinking of the 100% cotton "Easy Care" "Fine Cloth Shirt" dress shirts (not the oxford shirts); I bought a small. I machine wash everything on cold and would put it into a medium-low dryer and tend to pull nicer things/dress shirts before my heavier cotton stuff is done, so it wouldn't be scorched or anything.

I ask because the shirt is new and Uniqlo sizes are bizarre. A medium seems hugely baggy and large, whereas the small seems tight-ish and fairly form fitting. I could wear the small as-is but as I said it's tight and if it shrinks at all it might be unwearable.

Thanks!

mine haven't shrunk yet, but I don't use the dryer.

In general if something is a perfect fit and made of cotton, I don't use the dryer. I air dry

The reason why I'd like to use the dryer is that they're supposed to come out wrinkle-free in the dryer; in my experience shirts like that tend not to come out wrinkle free if you air dry them...

Update: First time I washed them, I put them in the dryer for about 10 minutes and then air dried them. Thankfully, they didn't shrink (at least not noticeably)! Since then, I haven't put them in the dryer at all; air drying them has, actually gotten most of the wrinkles out, which definitely isn't the case with my other non-iron shirts.

I'd give the fit a B+ but that has nothing to do with washing/drying them...

Thanks for the advice, folks!
