Does a terry robe shrink in the wash?

Cotton terry can shrink slightly, so washing in cool water and tumble drying on low helps keep the original fit.

Should I size up for a bathrobe?

Many people size up for a looser wrap and more overlap at the front, especially if the size chart runs close to body measurements.
