FAQs
Is this top true to size?
Yes, this top follows a standard regular fit. If you prefer a looser drape, you may consider sizing up, but it is generally designed to fit according to typical sizing standards.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While the fabric is textured, it is lightweight. However, because it is polyester, it may feel warmer than linen or cotton in high-humidity conditions.
What kind of bra works best with this top?
A standard t-shirt bra or a seamless nude bra works best to ensure a smooth line underneath the fabric.
Does the fabric wrinkle easily?
The textured finish is generally resistant to visible creasing, making it an excellent option for travel.
Should I dry clean this item?
Dry cleaning is not strictly necessary, but it is a safe option if you want to ensure the longevity of the smocked details and fabric texture.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkling after washing
Use a handheld garment steamer from a short distance rather than an iron to gently smooth the fabric without flattening the texture.
Smocking losing elasticity
Ensure you are not over-stretching the garment when pulling it on; always place the garment on a flat surface when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your & Other Stories top, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cold setting inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the smocking texture.
- Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying. Air-drying on a hanger is the best method to preserve the fabric's original texture and fit.
- Ironing: Use a low-temperature setting or a garment steamer. Avoid direct contact with the smocked areas to prevent crushing the detail.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs best with high-waisted bottoms, which complement the regular fit and high collar perfectly.
