Allison,
I have made a corded corset and no, it won't shrink
dramatically. Even if it does, it will stretch back
out again once under tension. Mine is made from cotton
corset coutil and linen tabby lining with hemp cording
and garment weight leather binding. I find after
wearing it for a couple of hours, I wish I could
tighten it a little, but being a front laced, I can't.
Highly absorbent garment however...

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is
an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to
receive it.
