I forgot to pre-wash and the first time I washed the dress it was ruined. Yes, I cried. Using a pinking rotary cutter on the fabric edge will also greatly reduce fraying in the wash.

I find that if I clip the corner edges I have minimal or no fraying. It's the easiest way I've found. I have pre-washed my fabric ever since I started quilting 25 years ago.
