Yes, linen is a breathable fabric that is well-suited for warmer weather. However, it can wrinkle easily, so proper care and steaming are important.

Consider seamless undergarments for a smooth silhouette. A V-neck bra or strapless bra would be appropriate given the V-neckline. For the lace-up back, a low-back bra or adhesive bra might be suitable depending on the extent of the openness.

The durability depends on the quality of the eyelets and laces, as well as how frequently it is adjusted. It is designed for aesthetic appeal and should be handled with care during fastening and unfastening.

Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting or iron inside out while slightly damp. Ensure proper hanging for storage.

Loosen the laces significantly before attempting to tie. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets.

Linen can soften with wear and proper care. Follow the recommended washing and ironing instructions. A gentle steam can also help relax the fibers.
