FAQs
What makes the Essentially Smooth collection ideal for everyday wear?
The collection is designed with comfort and a smooth silhouette in mind, featuring soft materials, supportive construction, and seamless finishes that are comfortable for all-day wear and discreet under clothing.
How do I determine my correct Freya bra size?
Refer to Freya's official sizing guide, which typically involves measuring your band size and cup size. It's often recommended to get professionally fitted if unsure, as fit can vary between styles.
Can I wear this bra with a low-cut top?
The balcony style offers good coverage. While not a plunge bra, it can work with moderately low necklines. The racerback conversion can also provide a different look and feel.
What is the benefit of the underwiring?
The underwiring provides essential lift and support, helping to shape the bust and create a more defined silhouette, particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes.
Is the padding significant, or is it just for shaping?
The padding is primarily for creating a smooth, rounded shape and providing coverage. It is not designed to add significant volume but rather to enhance the natural form.
How often should I wash my bra?
For optimal longevity, bras should ideally be washed after every wear. If not possible, aim to wash them every 2-3 wears, especially if worn for extended periods or during strenuous activity.
What does the J-hook adjuster do?
The J-hook allows you to connect the two strap ends at the back, converting the bra from a traditional shoulder strap style to a racerback. This offers increased support and is ideal for certain outfits.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping
Ensure straps are adjusted to the correct tightness. Utilize the J-hook to convert to a racerback for added security if needed.
Discomfort or pinching
Verify that the bra size and band fit correctly. The band should sit level and snug, not too tight or too loose. Adjust straps for proper support.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the wings lie flat against the skin. The smooth, opaque nature of the cups is designed for invisibility, so check that the bra is sitting correctly.
Fabric losing shape or elasticity
Adhere strictly to hand-wash only instructions and avoid harsh detergents or heat. Air dry flat away from direct sunlight.
