FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is made from a linen-blend, which is designed to be structured and breathable rather than stretchy. It is recommended to choose your size based on a regular fit.
Can I machine wash this dress?
While some linen-blends can be machine-washed on a delicate cycle, please refer to the specific care tag on your garment to avoid damage.
Does the dress have pockets?
The current design focuses on a minimalist, seamless silhouette and does not include pockets.
How should I style this for a formal event?
You can elevate the look with a pair of metallic block heels, a structured handbag, and a light wrap or blazer for a sophisticated, layered appearance.
Is the dress lined?
The dress features a structured bodice, but for specific inner-layer details, refer to the garment's interior label.
Troubleshooting
The side zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut before zipping and check that no inner lining is caught in the teeth of the zipper.
The fabric looks wrinkled after storage
Lightly mist the fabric with water or use a garment steamer on a low setting to smooth out natural linen creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vila Strap Midi Dress in optimal condition, always check the garment label for specific washing instructions, as linen-blend fabrics often respond best to gentle cycles or hand washing in cool water. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents. For drying, it is recommended to lay the dress flat or hang it to dry to prevent warping the structured bodice. When storing, ensure the garment is hung to prevent deep creases, or use a cool iron on a steam setting if wrinkles appear after storage. The dress pairs well with a variety of footwear, including block heels for a refined look or flat sandals for a relaxed, daytime aesthetic.
