Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your & Other Stories dress in top condition, always consult the internal care label. Given the polyester construction, it is recommended to wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, and hang the dress to air dry to maintain the shape of the adjustable straps. When storing, use a padded hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. The dress pairs well with a variety of outerwear, including blazers for a structured look or light cardigans for a softer approach.
