Product Information

Full details

The Freya Viva Lace Side Support Bra is designed for adults seeking a reliable, full-cup underwired bra that balances structural support with a feminine aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the four-piece cup construction combined with side support panels that provide excellent forward projection and lift without the bulk of padding. While it offers superior anchorage and a secure fit, users should note that the delicate lace construction requires hand washing to maintain its shape and material integrity.

FAQs

Does this bra have padding?

No, the Freya Viva is an unpadded, four-piece cup design that relies on structural panels for support rather than foam.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the manufacturer specifies that this bra is hand wash only to protect the lace and the integrity of the underwire.

What is 'side support' exactly?

Side support refers to an extra panel of fabric inside the cup that helps push breast tissue forward and inward, preventing it from spreading towards the underarms.

Is this suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the use of powernet wings and supportive underwire makes it a great choice for all-day comfort and stability.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

Ensure the center gore (the piece between the cups) sits flat against your sternum and the band feels snug but comfortable on the middle hook.

Why is the material mostly Nylon?

Nylon is used for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and elasticity, which are essential for providing support in a non-padded, full-cup bra.

Troubleshooting

Underwire is poking into the skin

This often indicates the band is too loose or the cup size is too small; ensure you are fitted for the correct band size and the underwire sits flat against the chest wall.

Straps slipping off shoulders

Tighten the adjustable straps; if they remain loose even at the shortest setting, the band may be too large, causing the straps to sit too far apart.

Lace snagging on jewelry

Ensure all jewelry is removed before putting on or taking off the bra to avoid catching the delicate scalloped trim or lace patterns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant uplift and forward projection
  • Soft-touch lace maintains comfort for daily wear
  • Underwire offers reliable structural support
  • Secure hook and eye fastening prevents slipping
  • Wide stretch elastic at neck edge accommodates various bust shapes

Cons

  • Requires hand washing only
  • Non-padded design may not provide full nipple coverage
  • Lace material requires gentle handling to avoid snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Freya Viva, follow these specific guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Always use the outermost hook and eye setting when trying on a new bra to ensure there is room to tighten the band as the elastic naturally stretches over time.
  2. Hand Washing: Submerge the bra in cool water with a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicates. Avoid wringing or twisting the cups as this can deform the underwire.
  3. Drying: Lay the bra flat on a towel to air dry. Never place the bra in a tumble dryer, as heat will degrade the elasticity of the nylon and powernet components.
  4. Storage: Store by laying the cups flat inside one another or hanging by the center gore to prevent the underwire from bending.
