FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The Vila Strap Midi Dress follows a standard UK sizing scale; the regular fit is designed to follow natural body lines without being overly tight.
Can I wear this dress in colder weather?
Yes, it works well as a layering piece. Pair it with a cardigan, denim jacket, or a lightweight turtleneck underneath for cooler days.
Does the material stretch?
Linen typically has limited natural stretch, so it is recommended to follow the size guide closely for the best fit.
How should I handle accidental stains on the linen?
Spot clean the area immediately with a damp, clean cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing as this can damage the linen fibers.
Is the dress lined?
The structured bodice is designed to hold its shape well, but check the specific interior tag for details on lining based on the production batch.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper sticking
Ensure the fabric edges are clear of the zip track and gently run a pencil tip over the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer for quick wrinkle removal without needing a full ironing setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vila Strap Midi Dress maintains its fit and quality, please follow these guidelines:
- Care Instructions: Always check the inner garment label. Due to the linen content, cold machine washing on a delicate cycle is recommended to prevent excessive shrinking.
- Drying: Air dry the dress on a hanger or lay flat to maintain the shape of the skirt. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the brown color tone.
- Ironing: Use a steam iron on the setting recommended for linen to remove any natural creasing that occurs during wear.
- Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry closet space using a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent strap stretching.
