FAQs

What makes this bra suitable for everyday wear?

It's designed with comfort in mind, featuring soft inner cups, adjustable straps, and a smooth finish that makes it comfortable for extended wear and versatile under various outfits.

Can I machine wash this bra?

It is recommended to hand-wash this product to preserve its shape and material integrity. Machine washing can damage the bra.

What is the benefit of the J-hook adjuster?

The J-hook allows you to easily convert the bra straps into a racerback style, which provides extra support and is ideal for wearing with racerback tops or for added stability during movement.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit means the band sits level and snug on your back, the cups fully enclose your breast without gapping or spilling, and the straps stay in place without digging in. You should be able to run two fingers comfortably under the band.

Does this bra offer full coverage?

Yes, the moulded balcony cups provide great coverage and create a natural, rounded shape.

What material is the bra made of?

The bra is primarily made of Polyester.

What does 'moulded balcony bra' mean?

A moulded bra has cups that are pre-shaped using heat and pressure. A balcony style typically offers a lower neckline, providing uplift and a rounded shape, with cups that cover about ¾ of the breast.

Troubleshooting

Straps keep slipping down

Ensure the straps are adjusted to be snug but not too tight. The tow-back design is intended to minimize slippage, but very narrow shoulders might require additional attention to strap tension.

Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in

Check the band and cup fit. Ensure you are using the correct band size and cup size. If the underwire pokes, the cup size might be too small or the band too large. Adjust the hook-and-eye closure to the most comfortable setting.

Visible lines under clothing

The moulded cups and smooth wings are designed to minimize this. Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the edges of the cups and band are lying flat against your skin.

Reduced support over time

This can happen with frequent use and improper care. Ensure you are hand-washing and air-drying as recommended. If the bra has stretched significantly, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Offers significant support due to underwiring and adjustable straps.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This product is a bra and requires no technical setup. The initial 'setup' involves adjusting the straps and ensuring a proper fit:

  1. Hook Fastening: Fasten the bra at the back using the hook-and-eye closures. Start with the loosest setting and adjust tighter as needed.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the fully functional straps for a comfortable fit. They should not dig into your shoulders or feel too loose.
  3. Racerback Conversion (Optional): If desired, use the J-hook adjuster located on the back strap to connect the two straps, creating a racerback style.

Compatibility:

The Freya Essentially Smooth Bra is designed to be compatible with a wide range of clothing, including fitted garments, t-shirts, blouses, and dresses, due to its smooth, moulded cups and low-profile wings.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and shape of your bra, hand-washing is recommended:

  • Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
  • Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Machine washing or drying can damage the underwire, padding, and fabric structure.
