FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your rib cage directly under your bust. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the floor. Use these measurements with a size chart to find your best fit. Wacoal offers specific sizing guides on their website.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Wacoal Raffine Bra is designed with comfort and support for everyday lingerie, featuring smooth shaping and adjustable straps.
What is the best way to wash this bra to maintain its shape?
It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing, and lay flat or hang to air dry. Never tumble dry.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothes?
The bra's design aims for a smooth silhouette. The three-part cups and hidden darts help in creating a natural shape that can look good under many outfits, but very thin or sheer fabrics might show the lace texture.
What does 'three-section average wire cup' mean?
This refers to the construction of the cup, which is divided into three panels. This design helps to shape and support the breast to create a natural, rounded appearance.
Does the lace scratch or irritate the skin?
The lace is designed to be soft, but individual skin sensitivity can vary. If you experience irritation, ensure the bra is properly cared for and consider if the material is suitable for your skin.
What other colors are available in the Raffine collection?
The Raffine collection is available in various colors, including Beige and White, in addition to this Black variant.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, not too low or too high.
Bra band riding up
Check if the band is too loose or if the bra is the wrong size. The band should sit firmly and horizontally around your ribcage.
Lace feels itchy
Ensure the bra is properly rinsed after washing. Some individuals may have sensitivities to specific lace materials; if irritation persists, consider discontinuing use.
Underwire discomfort
Verify that the underwire is sitting correctly in the bra's cradle and not digging into the breast tissue. Ensure the correct cup size has been selected.
