FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Essentially Smooth bra?
The main benefit is its ability to provide a smooth, seamless look under clothing while offering excellent support and comfort for everyday wear.
Can this bra be worn with a racerback top?
Yes, the bra features a J-hook adjuster that allows you to easily convert the straps into a racerback style, making it suitable for a variety of necklines.
How do I determine my correct Freya bra size?
It is recommended to measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust) and consult Freya's official size chart. Trying on different sizes is often the most effective way to find the perfect fit.
Are the cups padded?
Yes, the bra features moulded, padded cups designed to provide shape, support, and coverage.
What material is the bra made of?
The bra is primarily made of Polyester, with brushed inner cups for added softness.
How should I care for my Freya bra to ensure longevity?
Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent and laying flat to air dry is recommended. Avoid machine drying, bleaching, or ironing.
Is this bra suitable for high-impact activities?
No, this bra is designed for everyday wear and general support. It is not recommended for high-impact sports or strenuous physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Straps are digging in or slipping.
Adjust the straps to a comfortable length. Ensure the band is not too loose, as this can cause straps to bear too much weight. If straps continue to slip, try converting to the racerback style using the J-hook.
Bra is uncomfortable around the underwire.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The underwire should lie flat against your ribcage. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your body shape.
The cups feel too shallow or too deep.
This may indicate an incorrect cup size. Try a different cup size, going up or down a half or full size, while keeping the band size consistent.
Visible lines under tight clothing.
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the wings and back band are sitting smoothly. Smoothing the fabric of the bra against your skin before putting on outer garments can help.
