FAQs
What does 'High Apex' mean in bra terminology?
A 'High Apex' refers to the shape of the bra cup where the top edge comes up higher towards the shoulder strap, creating a more elongated and uplifted appearance to the bust.
How do I find my correct UK bra size?
Measure your underbust circumference for the band size and your overbust circumference (at the fullest part of your bust) for the cup size. Consult the Freya size chart, which will specify the correct UK sizing based on these measurements.
Is the semi-sheer net frame supportive enough?
Yes, the rigid semi-sheer net frame is specifically designed to offer substantial support without the bulk of traditional padding, ensuring comfort and shape.
Can this bra be worn with very low-cut tops?
Yes, the plunge design and low center gore make it suitable for a variety of lower-cut necklines, offering support while remaining discreet.
What is the main difference between this and a standard plunge bra?
The 'High Apex' design and the use of a rigid, semi-sheer net frame are key differentiators, offering a specific silhouette and a lighter feel compared to some standard plunge bras.
How often should I wash my bra?
It's generally recommended to hand wash your bra after every few wears to maintain hygiene and the integrity of the fabric and elastic. Avoid overwashing.
What materials is the bra made from?
The bra features a rigid semi-sheer net frame and stretch geo-lace outer cups, with a flat shadow striped elastic along the neck edge.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose around the band.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK band size by measuring your underbust. Refer to the Freya size chart for accurate fitting guidelines.
Straps are digging into shoulders or slipping down.
Adjust the straps evenly. If slipping persists, ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as the band provides most of the support. You may need to go down a band size or up a cup size.
Cups are not fitting correctly (gaping or spilling out).
Check your UK cup size. Gaping may indicate the cup is too large, while spilling out suggests it's too small. The 'high apex' design means the top of the cup comes higher; ensure this is comfortable for you.
Discomfort at the center gore.
Ensure the center gore is sitting flat against your sternum. If it's uncomfortable, the band size or cup size might need adjustment.
