I don’t see why they wouldn’t just wash the material before they cut the form.

The better clothes are pre shrunk. The textile industry is cheap AF and most sellers just don’t give a shit. It’s a numbers game for them and they don’t have a lot to gain by going to this extra step. Sizes are all off/inaccurate and different anyway so whether something fits or not is up in the air and being pre shrunk is just another variable
