Product Information

Full details

The Freya Essentially Smooth Balcony Moulded Padded Bra is designed for adult women seeking everyday comfort and support with a smooth, seamless finish. Its key benefit is providing excellent shape and lift without visible lines under clothing. A potential caveat is that the moulded cups may not suit all breast shapes if a more natural, unlined aesthetic is preferred. This bra features underwiring for support, padded balcony cups for coverage and a rounded shape, opaque wings for a smooth silhouette, and luxuriously soft inner cups. Adjustable straps with a tow-back design and a J-hook converter offer versatile wear options.

FAQs

What makes the 'Essentially Smooth' collection unique?

The 'Essentially Smooth' collection focuses on creating a seamless, smooth finish under clothing, combining comfort, support, and a discreet profile for everyday wear.

Can this bra be worn for active purposes?

While designed for everyday comfort and support, it is not specifically engineered as a high-impact sports bra. For vigorous activities, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.

How do I convert the straps to a racerback style?

Locate the J-hook adjuster on one of the straps, typically at the back. Connect the hook to the loop on the opposing strap to create the racerback formation.

What is the purpose of the underwiring?

The underwiring is integrated to provide enhanced lift, support, and shape to the bust, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit throughout the day.

Are the cups padded?

Yes, the bra features padded balcony cups designed to offer great coverage and a natural, rounded shape.

What is the benefit of the opaque wings?

The opaque wings contribute to a smooth silhouette, ensuring the bra is less visible under various types of clothing, especially lighter fabrics.

How should I care for this bra to ensure its longevity?

It is best to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and machine drying.

Troubleshooting

Straps are digging in or uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap length for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the base of your back, not too high or too low.

Bra is not providing enough support.

Verify that the band size is correct, as the band provides the majority of the support. Ensure the underwire is sitting flat against your rib cage.

Visible lines under clothing.

Ensure the moulded cups are sitting smoothly and correctly. Check that the band and straps are adjusted properly to lie flat against the skin.

Inner cups feel scratchy or irritating.

This is uncommon due to the brushed interior. Ensure the bra is washed according to care instructions. If irritation persists, consider if the material is suitable for your skin.
