Product Information
Full details
The Freya Essentially Smooth Balcony Moulded Padded Bra is designed for adult women seeking an everyday essential that offers superb shape, support, and comfort. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, natural look under clothing with excellent lift and a comfortable fit. A potential caveat is that the moulded cups may offer less flexibility for those preferring unlined bras. This bra features moulded balcony padded cups for coverage and shape, underwiring for support, opaque cups for a smooth finish, brushed inner cups for softness, fully adjustable straps with a tow-back design, and a J-hook for racerback conversion.

FAQs
What makes this bra 'smooth'?
The 'smooth' refers to the opaque, moulded cups and seamless finish, which are designed to be invisible under clothing, providing a sleek appearance without showing bra lines.
Can I wear this bra with a racerback top?
Yes, this bra features a J-hook converter that allows you to easily change the strap configuration to a racerback style, perfect for open-back or racerback garments.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
Yes, the Freya Essentially Smooth bra is designed with underwiring and moulded cups that provide excellent support and shaping, making it a suitable option for larger busts.
How do I determine my correct size?
It's recommended to measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust). Freya provides a sizing guide, or you can consult a professional fitting service for the most accurate measurement.
What is the material of the inner cups?
The inner cups are made with a brushed material, designed to feel luxuriously soft and comfortable against the skin.
How should I wash this bra?
Hand washing with a mild detergent in cool water is recommended. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, tumble drying, or ironing to maintain the bra's shape and fabric integrity.
Does the underwire offer good support?
Yes, the underwiring is specifically included to provide extra lift and support, contributing to the overall comfort and shape enhancement of the bra.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in or slipping
Adjust the straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the loosest hook if the bra feels too tight. If straps consistently slip, check the tow-back mechanism and consider using the J-hook for a racerback conversion if suitable for your garment.
Band riding up
The band should be parallel to the floor and sit snugly. If it's riding up, it may indicate the band is too large. Try using the tightest hook setting. If this doesn't resolve the issue, a smaller band size might be needed.
Cups not fitting properly (gaping or spillage)
Ensure you have selected the correct cup size. Gaping might mean the cup is too large, while spillage suggests it's too small. Check that the underwire is sitting flat against your sternum.
Discomfort under the arms or across the back
Verify that the bra band and straps are not over-tightened. Ensure the underwire is positioned correctly and not digging into the skin. The bra should feel snug but not constricting.
