FAQs
What type of support does the Raffine bra offer?
The Raffine bra offers support through its underwired construction and a three-section average wire cup design, which helps to create an ideal natural shape.
Is the lace on this bra scratchy?
The bra features ultra-fine lace that is lined, and the top cup has a sheer fine elastic along the neckline for a comfortable fit. It is designed to be comfortable against the skin.
Can I wear this bra under sheer tops?
The top cup of the bra is made from stretch lace and has a sheer appearance. While it provides shaping, its sheerness might be visible under very sheer garments.
How do I determine my correct Wacoal bra size?
Refer to Wacoal's official sizing guide or consult with a professional bra fitter. Generally, you will need your band size and cup size. The product information provides example sizes like 40C.
What are the washing instructions for the Wacoal Raffine bra?
It is best to hand wash the bra in cold water with mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Avoid bleach, wringing, and direct heat. A delicate machine wash cycle in a lingerie bag is an alternative, followed by air drying.
What is the main benefit of the three-section cup design?
The three-section cup design is specifically engineered to provide an ideal natural shape, offering superior support and definition to the bust.
Does this bra come in other colors or styles?
Yes, the Raffine collection typically comes in various colors like Beige and White, and may have matching briefs. Specific availability can vary.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps falling off shoulders
Ensure the bra is the correct size. Adjust the shoulder straps to be snug but not too tight. Check if the back band is sitting level and not too loose.
Underwire digging or feeling uncomfortable
Verify the band and cup size are correct. The underwire should encase the breast tissue fully without pinching. Try adjusting the straps or ensuring the centre gore is lying flat against the sternum.
Lace appears stretched or damaged after washing
Follow the recommended hand-wash and air-dry care instructions precisely. Avoid machine washing, wringing, or using harsh detergents, which can degrade the lace.
Bra does not provide enough support
Confirm that the band size is appropriate, as the band provides the primary support. Ensure the cup size is correct and that the straps are adjusted properly.
