Product Information
Full details
The Freya Offbeat Underwired Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking a blend of feminine style and structural integrity, specifically benefiting those who require reliable forward projection and everyday support. While it offers superior uplift through its four-piece cup construction and side panels, users should note that the specialized nylon and elastane blend requires dedicated hand-washing to maintain its shape and fabric quality.

FAQs
Can I wash this bra in the machine?
No, this garment is hand wash only to protect the integrity of the lace and the elastic components.
What is the primary material used?
It is composed of 81% Polyamide and 19% Elastane.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the bra features fully adjustable tow-back straps.
Does this provide side support?
Yes, the bra features a specialized laminated side cup panel for enhanced forward projection.
Is the fabric prone to stretching out?
The inclusion of high-stretch LYCRA content is specifically designed to maintain shape and support over extended wear.
What should I do if I can't find my exact size?
Freya offers a wide range of sizes, including various band and cup combinations. Check for the sibling sizes that match your current measurements.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel like they are digging into shoulders
Ensure the back band is not too loose, as this causes the straps to take on all the weight. Adjust the sliders for an even distribution of tension.
Center gore is lifting away from the chest
This often indicates that the cup size may be too small. Verify your measurements or try a larger cup size to allow the gore to sit flat.
Underwire is poking or uncomfortable
Check if the wire is sitting in the breast fold. If it sits on breast tissue, the bra is likely the wrong size; consider a professional fitting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent forward projection and uplift
- Strap design actively prevents slippage
- High-quality stretch lace for comfort
- Wide range of size options available
- Reliable side support for structure
Cons
- Hand wash only requirement
- Must not be tumble dried
- Floral pattern may show under very thin white fabrics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the band sits level across your back and the center gore rests flat against the sternum. Given the specific construction of the side support panels, it is vital to perform a 'scoop and swoop' when putting the bra on to ensure all tissue is properly contained within the cup.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang dry. Never place the bra in a tumble dryer, as the heat will degrade the LYCRA fibers and distort the underwire shape.
- Storage: Store flat or with cups nested gently to avoid crushing the delicate lace or bending the wires.
