FAQs
Is the dress lined?
The dress is designed with a lightweight, breathable structure, but it is best to wear skin-toned undergarments due to the nature of linen.
Can this dress be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a delicate/gentle cycle in cold water, but air drying is recommended.
What kind of bra works best with this square neck?
A strapless bra or a bra with wide-set straps will remain hidden beneath the wide straps of the dress.
Does the material have any stretch?
Linen is a natural fiber with minimal natural stretch, so the fit relies on the structured cut of the bodice.
Is the dress suitable for formal events?
Yes, its minimalist and elegant design makes it appropriate for semi-formal dinners and evening events when styled correctly.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn wrinkles in the linen fabric
Lightly mist the fabric with water and use a steam iron on the appropriate setting for linen.
Side zip feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate them.
Dress feels slightly oversized or loose
Since linen can stretch slightly with wear, a professional tailor can easily take in the side seams for a more custom fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vila Strap Midi Dress in optimal condition, always check the interior garment label for specific temperature settings. Because it is crafted from linen, it is highly recommended to wash the dress in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid wringing the fabric, as this can break the fibers; instead, lay it flat or hang it to dry. If ironing is necessary to remove wrinkles, use a medium-hot steam iron while the fabric is slightly damp for the best results. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured bodice.
