How many times must linen fabric be washed to make it soft and is there any way to speed the process?
The material that the linen is made of is also going to affect how soft it will be in the end. For example, my cotton dress has been soft from the beginning, but it wrinkles easily. Other linens have other fibers to keep the material from wrinkling and those may not relax as much.

Does polyester shrink?
No it doesn't. The way to test if a garment creases easily is to scrunch up a section (in your hand) before you make a purchase. If the material is very creased when you release it, then it will look the same way after you have put it on and sat down in it. Linen is terrible for doing this.

Yes. I wash in cold water with woollite at hand wash cycle for a very short period of time. My dress is shorter than it's linning after washed.

I am trying to pull the dress make it longer than the linning before it is dry. I am waiting to see if it keep the length is kept after it's dry. I will never machine washed or buy 55% linen and 45% rayon blend clothing.
Do fabrics that came from living sources shrink more in the wash than fabrics not made from living sources?
Yes, cotton, wool, silk and linen do shrink. This is mostly because the way the fibers are made into thread involves twisting them, and in the wash, the twists get tighter, causing the fabric to shrink. Synthetic fabrics are made from continuous filaments, and therefore do not shrink. Some synthetic fabrics will wrinkle badly, causing the fabric to appear to shrink, because of the crinkling of the fabric.
What kind of the fabric will be shrunk after dry-cleaning?
Different textiles have different levels of shrinkage resistance. Cotton, wool, silk, linen, and hemp are among the fabrics that shrink easily. Natural fiber fabrics are more likely to shrink than clothing made of synthetic fibers. Natural fibers (such as cotton and wool) are somewhat stretchy and can shrink in response to heat and agitation. Synthetic materials (like polyester and nylon) typically don't shrink too much. Any clothing item that has been "pre-shrunk" by the manufacturer has obviously already been washed; as a result, they should be quite resistant to further shrinkage. Spandex will, however, shrink in the dryer. For this reason, the majority of athleisure companies advise air-drying your clothing.
