So I washed my 100% cotton dress shirt in warm water and put it in the dryer to shrink it....?

Can I do that again to shrink it again, or is it a one time thing?

Thank you.

    Hot water will shrink it for sure, warm shouldn't, but I always wash my cotton clothes in cold, just to be safe, and hang dry them. The dryer will shrink it for sure.

    yes, try hot water and dry it extra long, but it won't shrink much like something woolen would.
