FAQs
What makes the 'High Apex' design special?
The high apex design means the center gore (where the cups meet) is higher than on a standard bra. This creates a more uplifted, forward-projecting shape, offering a sleek and streamlined look under clothing.
Can this bra be worn with very low-cut tops?
Yes, the plunge frame and high apex design are specifically suited for lower-cut necklines, providing support and shaping without showing above the garment's edge.
Is the lace scratchy or uncomfortable?
The lace is designed to be soft and stretchy, with a lining in the cups for comfort. While delicate, it should not be scratchy when worn correctly.
How do I know if I have the right band size?
The band should fit snugly but comfortably, sitting parallel to the ground all the way around. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath it. It provides about 80% of the bra's support.
What does 'no padding' mean for the fit?
'No padding' means the bra cups are unlined and do not have any added foam or padding. This offers a natural shape, feel, and fit, allowing the delicate lace to be showcased.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, we strongly recommend hand-washing only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the underwire, stretch the lace, and compromise the bra's structure and longevity.
What is the purpose of the keyhole detail?
The keyhole cutout at the center front is a design element that adds a subtle, stylish detail, aligning with the peek-a-boo styling theme of the Freya Fatale collection.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping down
Ensure straps are adjusted tightly enough. If slippage persists, the band might be too loose, or the straps may need replacement if excessively stretched.
Band riding up
The band may be too large. Try tightening the hooks or consider a smaller band size. Ensure the bra is fastened correctly on the loosest hooks initially for longevity.
Underwire poking or discomfort
This can indicate an incorrect cup size or band size. The underwire should encase the entire breast. Consult sizing guides or a professional fitter.
Lace appears stretched or distorted after washing
Ensure you are following the hand-wash only instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents, hot water, and machine drying, which can damage the lace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a pre-formed garment and requires no assembly. The setup involves correctly fitting the bra:
- Fasten the bra using the hook-and-eye closure at the back.
- Adjust the shoulder straps for a comfortable, secure fit. The band should be level and snug, and the straps should not dig into your shoulders.
Compatibility:
- Clothing: Ideal for low-cut tops, V-necks, and fitted garments due to its plunge style and smooth finish.
- Occasions: Suitable for daily wear, special events, and as a fashion-forward lingerie piece.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: This product is recommended for hand-wash only. Use cool water and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the bra flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping it while damp. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Store folded or hung to maintain its shape. Avoid overcrowding your lingerie drawer to prevent distortion.
