Product Information
Full details
This Freya Idol Bra is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable yet stylish lingerie option. Its key benefit lies in providing a flattering silhouette with excellent support, thanks to its moulded, padded, underwired cups and adjustable straps. A potential consideration is that as a moulded bra, it offers a specific shape that may not suit all preferences.

FAQs
What makes this a 'balcony' bra?
A balcony bra typically features cups that are cut horizontally or have a lower neckline, offering lift and cleavage. The term also refers to the way the straps are set wider apart, contributing to a flattering, uplifted appearance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and level around your ribcage, the cups should fully contain your breast tissue without spillage or gaping, and the straps should stay in place without digging in.
Can this bra be worn under t-shirts?
Yes, the moulded and seamless design of this bra makes it ideal for wearing under t-shirts and other form-fitting clothing, as it provides a smooth silhouette.
What is the benefit of the pinstripe design?
The pinstripe design offers a subtle, sophisticated visual texture that adds a touch of elegance and a classic aesthetic to the bra.
Is the padding removable?
No, the padding in this moulded bra is integrated into the cup and is not removable.
How should I wash this bra to ensure longevity?
It is best to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to air dry. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and bleach.
What does 'fully adjustable straps' mean?
It means the straps have sliders that allow you to lengthen or shorten them, enabling you to achieve a personalized and secure fit for maximum comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably on your ribcage, as a poorly fitted band can cause straps to carry too much weight.
Underwire discomfort
Check that the underwire is sitting correctly in its channel and not twisted or digging into the skin. Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. If the underwire is damaged, the bra may need replacing.
Bra cups feel too padded
While this is a moulded bra with padding, if it feels excessively so, ensure you have the correct cup size. Some individuals may prefer unpadded styles.
Colour fading
Wash only in cool water with mild detergent, and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Do not use bleach.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, this bra is compatible with most types of clothing, especially those where a smooth silhouette is desired. It pairs well with matching briefs from the Freya Idol range for a coordinated look.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and shape of your Freya Idol Bra:
- Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents.
- Reshape and Dry: Gently reshape the cups after washing and lay flat to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Never put the bra in a dryer, as this can damage the underwire and padding.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can also damage the fabric and structure.
