FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Due to the velvet material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the fabric's texture and color.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is designed with a regular shift-fit, which is generally comfortable and true to standard UK sizing.
Is the dress suitable for winter?
The velvet fabric offers some warmth, though the sleeveless design means it is best paired with a jacket or shawl for colder weather.
Can I iron the velvet if it gets wrinkled?
No, you should avoid using a standard iron as it can flatten the velvet pile. Use a steamer instead.
What should I wear underneath for the low V-back?
Because of the low back design, consider using adhesive backless silicone cups or a specialized low-back bra converter.
What material is this dress made from?
This specific variant is constructed from quality velvet, known for its soft touch and deep, rich appearance.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing flattened or crushed
Gently steam the affected area from a distance and use a soft brush to lift the velvet pile in the direction of the grain.
Lint or dust on the surface
Use a specialized velvet brush or a lint roller designed for delicate fabrics to carefully remove debris without damaging the fibers.
Wrinkles during storage
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a handheld garment steamer carefully without touching the fabric directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories dress remains in optimal condition, handle the velvet fabric with care to prevent crushing or marking. Because velvet is sensitive to heat and moisture, it is strongly recommended to use a professional dry cleaner. Avoid ironing directly on the velvet surface, as this can flatten the pile and cause permanent damage; if wrinkles occur, a light steam from a distance is preferred. Store the dress hanging on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and to maintain the integrity of the shift silhouette.
