Valyn linen midi slip dress - black
This is an intentionally relaxed style, designed to accommodate hips with an a-line shape - most straight-sized slip dresses don't do that. If you have a smaller bust, narrow shoulders or prefer a more streamlined look, please size down. Please wear with care. We suggest NOT wearing the straps very short as this may cause seam stress. Please lift from the hips when you sit down in your chair or car to give you a little extra wiggle room.
The Valyn spaghetti strap linen midi dress is the answer to your long, hot summer dreams. This dress has a cult following, including from people who resist getting their arms out in summer.
If you've ever struggled to find a linen slip dress that fits your bust and skims the hips, this dress is the answer to your summer dreams. She's cut on a slight a-line which means she won't grab at your mid-section and hips.
Valyn is crafted from our luxe linen. It's unlined. The straps are adjustable, so you can decide where you'd like it to sit on the bust and under the arms. Side splits to the knee allow for ease of movement and balancing out proportions. We have had customers of all heights wearing this dress.
Dress up Valyn by teaming with wedges or heels; dress down with slides, sneakers or sandals. Layer a crew-neck tee or tank underneath or Cassandra relaxed stretch cotton shirt - blue white stripe over the top for sun safety or modesty. Wear with a strapless bra (this is our fave - use code StylingYou15) or with a regular bra with a narrow strap in similar tone to the colour of the dress.
Click the Fit tab for our each of our model's sizing details. Pay attention to your bust and hip sizing to get the right size for you. If in doubt, size down but reach out to us first for help.

Styling You The Label is available in sizes 6-20. We're a label cut on a curvy size 12 and then sized up and down from there, so whether you're a size 6 or 20, our designs are cut to accommodate the curves of your bust, hips and tummy. This might make our pieces seem generous but that's because most labels are cut on a non-curvy size 6 or 8, which doesn't necessarily allow for a comfortable fit for most women.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to work out what size you are in Styling You The Label. We have worked with models of every size we stock, and have included each model's measurements as well as each garment's measurements on each product listing.
We update our model's measurements every time we do a photoshoot, as we all know bodies change.
Click the Fit tab on each product to get specific details about what each of our model is wearing and whether she's sized up, down or stayed in her regular size. If your measurements match hers then you'll have a better understanding of your size in that garment.
Whenever you're shopping for clothes online, it's a good idea to keep your tape measure handy and have your own measurements written down somewhere (maybe in the Notes on your phone) so you can easily look them up and compare them with that listed on our product pages.
We're here to help you have the best online shopping experience you've ever had. Email, call, message or chat with us and we'll respond during business hours (8am-3pm, Monday-Friday).
