FAQs
What is the material composition?
This garment is made from high-quality polyester.
Does this dress run true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a regular fit, conforming to standard UK 8 sizing.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is recommended to use a delicate machine cycle inside a protective laundry bag to preserve the shoulder ties.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
Polyester is generally colorfast, but we recommend washing inside out and avoiding direct sunlight during drying to ensure longevity.
What footwear works best with the asymmetrical hem?
Strappy sandals, espadrilles, or low-profile block heels complement the asymmetrical cut very well.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder ties coming undone
Secure the ties with a double knot to prevent slipping during movement.
Static cling in dry weather
Lightly mist the inner lining with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray.
Creasing on the hem
Use a garment steamer on the lowest setting to gently release tension in the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your & Other Stories dress in optimal condition, adhere to a gentle care routine. Given the shoulder ties, always wash in a laundry bag if using a machine on a delicate cycle, or opt for hand washing in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents that could degrade the synthetic fibers. For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder ties and prevent the asymmetrical hem from creasing unevenly. If the fabric wrinkles after travel, a low-heat steam session is recommended over direct high-heat ironing, which could damage the polyester blend.
