FAQs
Does this dress run true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing and is designed for a regular fit. Because it features a wrap-tie waist, it offers some flexibility in how it sits on the body.
Is the fabric suitable for summer?
Yes, being made of cotton, the fabric is breathable and ideal for warm weather, though the long sleeves provide light coverage.
Can I wear this to a formal event?
The dress is best suited for smart-casual, office, or semi-formal occasions rather than strictly formal events.
How do I ensure the wrap stays closed?
The tie-waist is designed to secure the wrap. If you feel the need for extra security, a small discreet safety pin on the inside of the overlap can prevent shifting.
Does the dress have pockets?
The design focuses on a streamlined silhouette; please check the specific garment interior, but generally, this style prioritizes clean lines over utility pockets.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after packing or sitting
Use a handheld garment steamer for 1-2 minutes to quickly refresh the fabric without needing an ironing board.
Collar loses its structure
Use a light starch spray before ironing to help the collar maintain its crisp, upright shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories wrap dress maintains its quality, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors in cold water to prevent shrinking and color fading.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended to protect the cotton fibers and minimize wrinkles. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Ironing: Use a medium-heat iron or a handheld steamer to smooth out the collar and placket area for a crisp finish.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar, preventing unwanted creases.
