FAQs

What makes this bra a 'T-shirt' bra?

It is called a T-shirt bra because its smooth, moulded cups and seamless construction create a flawless silhouette under tight-fitting tops, similar to a t-shirt.

How do I know if I'm wearing the right size?

A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting level and snug on your ribcage, cups that fully contain the breast without spillage or gaping, and straps that stay comfortably in place without digging in.

Why is hand-washing essential for this bra?

Hand-washing helps preserve the shape of the moulded cups and the integrity of the fabric and elastic. Machine washing and drying can cause deformation, stretching, and damage.

Can I wear this bra for sports?

This bra is designed for everyday wear and light support. It is not intended for high-impact sports, which require specialized sports bras.

What does 'balcony' style mean?

A balcony bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra but providing excellent lift and shape, creating a flattering cleavage.

How often should I replace my bra?

Bras typically need replacing every 6-12 months with regular wear, depending on the frequency of use and care. Signs it's time to replace include stretched-out bands, worn fabric, or loss of support.

Troubleshooting

Bra band rides up

Ensure the band is fastened on the correct hook setting. If it's too loose, it will ride up. Adjust the shoulder straps to provide more lift and support to the band.

Straps are digging in

Loosen the adjustable shoulder straps. The band should bear most of the weight; if the straps are doing too much work, they will dig in.

Breast tissue spilling out of cups

Check that you are wearing the correct cup size. Ensure the bra band is sitting level and the cups fully encapsulate the breast. Adjust the straps if necessary.

Underwire discomfort

Verify the band and cup size are correct. Sometimes, underwire discomfort can indicate the bra is too small or not sitting properly. Try fastening on a different hook setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a bra, the primary setup involves adjusting the shoulder straps to achieve the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the band sits snugly on your ribcage and the cups fully encapsulate the breast tissue. The hook-and-eye closure at the back should be fastened on the loosest setting initially, allowing for adjustment as the bra stretches over time.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for women and is suitable for adult wear. It pairs well with a variety of clothing styles, particularly those requiring a smooth and seamless undergarment.

Care: This product is hand-wash only. To care for your Freya Idol Moulded Balcony Bra:

  1. Gently hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent.
  2. Do not bleach or wring.
  3. Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the moulded cups and elastic.
