I imagine that most ladies who set out to buy lingerie for other ladies will have a pretty solid idea of where to start.

For those of us who know our bra sizes better than our social security numbers, Freya is nothing new, but for many women, particularly in North America, who are just getting to know their full-bust sizes, Freya’s is the first friendly face they’ll meet.
