It should be: "The clothing has shrunk."
The construction, "the clothing has shrink," is unusual and would only be used in a particular context - with "shrink" functioning as an adjective - for example: "The clothing has shrink-resistant cotton in it."

I'm looking for the common word especially to just mean become shorter as in pants, please?
