Product Information

Full details

The Freya Essentially Smooth Moulded Balcony Bra is designed for adult women seeking everyday comfort, support, and a smooth silhouette. Its key benefit is providing excellent shape and a seamless look under clothing. A potential caveat is that the moulded cups may not suit all breast shapes. This bra features padded balcony cups for coverage and lift, underwiring for enhanced support, and opaque wings for a smooth finish. The brushed inner cups offer a soft feel, and adjustable straps with a J-hook converter ensure a secure and customizable fit.

FAQs

What makes the 'Essentially Smooth' collection unique?

The 'Essentially Smooth' collection focuses on providing a seamless look under clothing, combined with comfort and support for everyday wear, using smooth, opaque materials.

How do I determine my correct bra size?

Accurate bra sizing typically involves measuring your band size (underbust) and cup size (bust measurement minus underbust measurement). It's recommended to consult a professional fitting guide or visit a lingerie store for precise measurements.

Can the racerback feature be used all the time?

Yes, the racerback feature can be used for any occasion where it suits your outfit and provides desired support. It's a versatile option for different clothing styles.

Is this bra suitable for larger busts?

Yes, Freya is known for offering a wide range of sizes, including larger cups, and this balcony bra style is designed to provide ample support and shaping for various bust sizes.

What is the main benefit of the moulded cups?

The moulded cups provide a smooth, rounded shape and excellent coverage without the need for additional padding inserts, creating a clean silhouette under clothing.

How often should I hand wash this bra?

It's generally recommended to hand wash your bra after every few wears, or more frequently if you experience heavy sweating, to maintain hygiene and the bra's elasticity.

Can I wear this bra for sports?

While this bra offers good support for everyday activities, it is not specifically designed as a sports bra. For high-impact activities, a dedicated sports bra would provide more appropriate support and minimize movement.

Troubleshooting

Straps slipping

Ensure straps are adjusted tightly enough. Use the J-hook to convert to a racerback for added security, especially with certain garments.

Underwire discomfort

Verify the bra size is correct. Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly in the bra band and not digging into the skin. Adjust the fit if necessary.

Visible lines under clothing

Ensure the bra fits correctly and the cups are fully enclosing the breast tissue. The smooth, opaque design is intended to minimize lines, but a poor fit can still cause them.

Bra not providing enough support

Check that the band is snug and level around your body. Ensure the straps are adjusted appropriately. If the issue persists, consider if a different style or size might be more suitable.
