A business-casual dress code is rough enough. But throw in mandatory dry cleaning after every wear? (Insert major eye roll.) Luckily, there are a few brands out there who hear us and are delivering stylish, office-appropriate dresses that are all washing-machine-approved. Be sure to read every label for specific drying instructions, tumble dry low versus hang to dry, and get ready to ditch that dry-cleaning pile...for good.
