Product Information
Full details
The & Other Stories Twist-Strap Dress is an elegant choice for adult women seeking a sophisticated, sculptural piece for evening events or formal gatherings. Its key benefit lies in the unique asymmetric design and clever side-seam pleats that create a flattering, structured silhouette. While the vibrant yellow color and striking cut make a bold statement, potential buyers should note that the polyester fabric requires careful handling to maintain its finish and the fixed length of 156 cm may require tailoring for those of shorter stature.

FAQs
What is the total length of this dress?
The total length of the dress is 156 cm.
Is the material stretchy?
The dress is made from polyester, which typically offers a slight natural give, though it is designed to hold its structural shape.
Can I adjust both straps?
No, one side features a twisted strap design, while the other side is fully adjustable.
What size is the dress mentioned in the guide?
This guide covers the UK 8 variant, but other sizes are available depending on stock.
How should I wash this dress?
Refer to the care label inside the dress; however, due to the pleating and delicate construction, dry cleaning or a delicate cycle is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Concealed zipper sticks or is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the track and rub a small amount of clear candle wax on the teeth to help the slider move more smoothly.
Shoulder strap feels loose or slips
Utilize the adjustable strap component to tighten the fit until it sits securely on the shoulder.
Wrinkling during storage or travel
Use a low-temperature garment steamer from the inside of the dress to gently release wrinkles without crushing the side pleats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress features a concealed side zip, ensure the garment is fully unzipped before attempting to put it on to prevent stress on the fabric or the zipper mechanism. To maintain the structural integrity of the pleats and the twist-strap, it is recommended to store this piece on a padded hanger rather than folding it. For care, always check the internal garment tag; given the polyester material, a gentle machine wash or professional dry cleaning is usually suggested to keep the fabric looking crisp. Avoid high-heat ironing, as this can potentially damage the polyester finish or flatten the deliberate side pleating.
