Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam the garment or hang it in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes to allow gravity to release the creases.

Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a water-based fabric spray or use a dryer sheet on the underside of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your & Other Stories maxi dress, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water to preserve the polyester fibers.
- Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the fabric to lose its smooth finish or shrink; air drying on a hanger is recommended.
- Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron setting to remove wrinkles, though polyester is largely wrinkle-resistant.
- Styling: This dress is highly compatible with simple, elegant accessories. It pairs best with thin-strap sandals for a breezy look or ankle boots for a transitional seasonal outfit.
