FAQs
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is typically safe for a delicate machine wash cycle, but checking the care label for specific instructions is advised.
What type of bra works best with the open back?
We recommend adhesive cups, a convertible low-back bra, or a seamless bralette for the most polished look.
Does this dress run true to size?
The dress is designed with a regular fit; it is recommended to follow the standard UK sizing guide for the best comfort.
Can the hem be altered?
While the hem can be professionally altered, the unique handkerchief design may be difficult to replicate perfectly, so consult a professional tailor.
Is the fabric heavy?
No, the polyester blend is lightweight and designed to provide a fluid drape for the handkerchief hem.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer to gently release creases without applying direct heat to the polyester fabric.
Button closure at back keeps unfastening
Check the loop for any stretching or debris; ensure the button is firmly seated in the loop before wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories dress remains in top condition, prioritize gentle cleaning methods. Because the garment is made of polyester, it is generally machine washable on a delicate cycle, though hand washing or professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape of the hem. Always fasten the button at the back before laundering to prevent snagging. When ironing, use a low heat setting and consider using a pressing cloth to protect the synthetic fibers. This dress pairs best with seamless or adhesive undergarments due to the open-back construction.
