Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories dress retains its shape and texture, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using a mild detergent.
- Temperature: Keep water temperatures cool (30°C/86°F or lower) to prevent material degradation.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder creases; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the polyester fibers.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, but keep it on the lowest setting or use a steamer to remove wrinkles without direct heat contact.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading over extended periods.
