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.

Polyester does not shrink in the wash. However, you have to be careful with too much heat in the dryer. Be sure to check on it and take it out as soon as its dry.
