During the lifetime use, fabric undergoes repeated washings. It may change dimensions and physical properties of the fabrics which may alter the comfort properties of the fabrics. Therefore, it is essential to study the effect of repeated washings on dimension stability and fabric physical factors of woven cotton fabric. Results reveals that fabric cover factor, fabric thickness, fabric weight and fabric shrinkage increase with increase of washing cycles.
