Full details
The Freya Fatale High Apex Bra is designed for women seeking a supportive, natural-feeling bra with a stylish, modern aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in the combination of stretch geometric lace for a flattering high apex and forward projection, alongside underwiring for excellent support and shaping. A potential caveat for some users may be the need for careful sizing due to Freya's UK sizing system, requiring a conversion from US sizes.

FAQs
How do I convert my US bra size to Freya's UK sizing?
Freya uses UK sizing. You will need to measure your band and bust size and use Freya's specific size chart, available on their website or provided with the product, to find the corresponding UK band and cup size. Generally, US band sizes may differ, and cup progressions also vary.
Can this bra be worn under tight-fitting clothes?
While the design aims for a smooth look, the textured lace and seam details might be visible under very tight or thin fabrics. It is best suited for outfits where the bra's design can be appreciated or under fabrics that are not overly form-fitting.
What is the 'high apex' feature?
The 'high apex' refers to the design where the top of the bra cup extends higher towards the center of the chest, creating a specific shape that enhances forward projection and provides a modern, elongated silhouette.
Why is this bra recommended for hand wash only?
Hand washing helps preserve the delicate materials, such as the stretch lace and underwire structure, and prevents damage that can occur in machine washing (like stretching, snagging, or deforming the cups).
Does the 'no padding' mean less support?
Not necessarily. The bra uses underwiring and a specific construction with plunge frame netting to provide structure and support, even without padding. The 'no padding' refers to the absence of any added foam or shaped cups.
What does the keyhole detail at the front do?
The keyhole detail is a design element located at the center gore (the part between the cups). It adds a stylistic flair and a peek-a-boo effect, contributing to the bra's fashionable aesthetic.
Are the adjustable straps effective at preventing slippage?
Yes, the 'fixed fully adjustable straps' are designed to provide a secure fit and minimize the risk of slippage, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Straps are slipping.
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly for a snug fit. Check that the bra band is sitting level and is not too loose. If slippage persists, the bra may be worn out or the fit may be incorrect.
Underwire is digging in.
This usually indicates an incorrect band or cup size. Ensure the band is snug and the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. If the issue persists, the bra may not be the right style for your shape.
Bra is uncomfortable after a few hours.
Verify that the band size and cup size are correct. Ensure the bra is being washed and cared for according to the hand-wash-only instructions to maintain fabric integrity and elasticity.
Lace appears to be snagging.
Handle the bra with care when putting it on and taking it off. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewelry, or sharp objects that could catch the delicate lace.
