Is it normal that clothes fit a bit tighter when they come out of the dryer?

Question

Is that supposed to happen?

Answer 1

Sometimes it will shrink,

Depends on the material

Answer 2

Cotton shrinks.

Dont dry wool.

Answer 3

Mine do. You probably stretch them out a bit while wearing them, and drying them doesn't shrink them, but 'tightens' them back to their original state.

Answer 4

iit is normal, but if you wash it in hot water, it means it shrunk.

yes

Answer 6

They Shrunk!  Always let them dry for 10 min. then take them out and hang them up on a hanger.

Answer 7

not unless you got fatter then you already are  

Answer 8

Yep. Washing them shrinks up the fibers, then drying them even more. Nice for jeans, but as soon as you wear them a while, they will relax.

Yes it's perfectly normal.

Some shrink more than others, depends on material it was made with.
