FAQs

Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?

The dress features a pre-crinkled jacquard texture, which is specifically designed to maintain its look without traditional ironing.

What is the material composition?

This garment is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to hold its structural shape.

How should I store this dress?

Store the dress on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the cap sleeves and the drape of the flared skirt.

Can this dress be worn in professional settings?

Yes, its sophisticated boatneck and elegant length make it appropriate for most business-casual environments.

Does the smocked bodice provide enough support?

The smocking is highly flexible and provides a snug, secure fit across the torso, suitable for most frames.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing flat after washing

Avoid ironing or using high-heat steaming, as this removes the signature crinkle. Simply shake the garment while damp and let it air dry.

Smocking feels tight

The smocked bodice is designed for a stretch fit. Ensure you are wearing the dress with the seams aligned correctly; if discomfort persists, verify that the garment size matches your body measurements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible smocked bodice accommodates various body shapes
  • Versatile design suitable for both casual and elevated occasions
  • Flowing silhouette offers comfort without sacrificing style
  • Distinctive crinkled texture eliminates the need for aggressive ironing

Cons

  • Polyester material may be less breathable in extreme heat
  • Crinkled texture requires specific handling to maintain shape
  • Limited size flexibility due to the structured bodice

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your & Other Stories dress, please observe the following care guidelines.

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature to protect the integrity of the crinkled fabric.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can destroy the elasticized smocking and the intended crinkle pattern.
  3. Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place. Due to the weight of the flared hem, ensure the hanger has sufficient padding to prevent shoulder puckering.
  4. Compatibility: This garment pairs best with seamless undergarments to ensure the smocked bodice sits perfectly flat against the skin.
