FAQs
What makes the Freya Essentially Smooth Bra suitable for everyday wear?
It is designed with moulded cups, underwiring for support, and soft inner materials to ensure comfort throughout the day. The opaque wings provide a smooth finish under clothing, making it versatile for daily outfits.
How do I convert the bra to a racerback style?
The bra features a J-hook adjuster on the back straps. Simply hook the two strap ends together using the J-hook to create a racerback configuration.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the product is recommended for hand-wash only to preserve its shape, support, and material quality.
What is the benefit of the underwiring in this bra?
The underwiring provides enhanced lift and support, helping to create a naturally rounded shape and ensuring the bra stays comfortably in place.
Will this bra show under tight clothing like t-shirts?
No, the moulded, seamless cups and opaque wings are specifically designed to provide a smooth, invisible finish under fitted garments.
What does 'balcony' mean in the context of this bra?
A balcony bra, also known as a demi-cup or half-cup bra, typically has cups that are cut lower and further apart, offering less coverage than a full cup but providing uplift and a rounded shape.
How do I ensure I have the correct size?
Refer to a reputable sizing guide and take accurate measurements. Professional fitting is also recommended for the best results.
Troubleshooting
Straps are digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is fitting correctly, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra feels uncomfortable under the arms
Ensure the bra band is at the correct level and the wings are lying flat. Check if the underwire is sitting correctly against the rib cage.
Visible lines under tight clothing
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the wings are smooth against the skin. The moulded cups are designed for a seamless look, so proper fit is key.
J-hook is difficult to fasten
Try fastening the J-hook before putting the bra on, or use a mirror to assist. Ensure the hook is aligned correctly with the eyelet.
