FAQs
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress measures 114.50 cm in length.
Is the material stretchy?
The dress is crafted from cotton, which provides a natural, structured feel but does not typically feature high stretch content.
Can the drawstrings be fully removed?
The drawstrings are integrated into the design for the purpose of adjusting the fit; they are not intended to be removed.
Does this dress come in other materials?
While this specific version is cotton, & Other Stories offers variations of this design in polyester as well.
How should I clean the drawstring hardware?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe down the drawstring components to ensure no residue or moisture causes buildup.
Is the waist adjustable?
The waist structure is defined by folded pleats, which create a fixed silhouette, rather than an adjustable drawstring.
Troubleshooting
Drawstrings feel stiff or difficult to adjust.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the eyelets and apply very slight pressure to the toggle or knot to loosen the mechanism.
Pleats look flattened after storage.
Lightly steam the pleated area while hanging the garment, then reshape the folds by hand while the fabric is still warm and damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its intentional structure and aesthetic, follow these guidelines:
- Care: Due to the sculptural pleats and drawstring hardware, gentle hand washing or a delicate machine cycle is recommended. Avoid harsh agitation that might distort the folded pleats.
- Storage: Hang the dress using a high-quality hanger to prevent the voluminous sleeves from becoming crushed or misshapen in a closet.
- Ironing: Steam is preferred over direct ironing to remove wrinkles. Direct heat may flatten the precise waist pleats or damage the technical drawstring components.
- Compatibility: This item pairs best with low-profile footwear like block heels or pointed-toe flats, which complement the architectural nature of the silhouette without creating visual clutter.
