FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Raffine Underwired Bra?
The primary benefit is its ability to provide an ideal, natural shape and comfortable support throughout the day, thanks to its three-section underwired cup and quality lace construction.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to get professionally measured, or use Wacoal's online sizing guide. Ensure the band fits snugly, the cups fully enclose the breast, and the underwire sits correctly.
Can I wear this bra for special occasions?
Yes, the Raffine bra features elegant floral lace and a refined design, making it suitable for everyday wear and also appropriate under outfits for special occasions.
What is the material of the bra?
The bra is primarily made from Nylon and features stretch lace with a mesh lining in the support wings.
Does the Raffine collection offer different bra styles?
Yes, the Raffiné collection offers multiple bra shapes, including styles like the contour cup for a smooth shape and a plunge style for enhanced breast shape, in addition to this underwired version.
How often should I wash my bra?
It is generally recommended to wash bras after every few wears, or after each wear if you have been particularly active. Hand washing is the preferred method for delicate lingerie.
What does 'whalebone strength varies with size' mean?
This means that the internal support structures (often referred to metaphorically as 'whalebone' in lingerie design, though typically plastic or boning) are adjusted in strength or dimension based on the bra's size to provide optimal support and shape for different figures.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps keep slipping
Ensure straps are adjusted tightly enough. Check that the back band is sitting level and not too low. Make sure you are wearing the correct bra size; a band that is too loose will cause straps to slip.
Underwire is uncomfortable or digging in
Verify that the underwire is sitting directly under the breast tissue and not on it. Ensure you have the correct cup and band size, as an incorrect fit can cause the underwire to sit improperly.
Lace appears stretched or damaged after washing
Always hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid wringing or twisting the lace. Lay flat to dry, reshaping as needed. Never machine wash or tumble dry delicate lace.
Bra feels too tight or restrictive
Check the hook-and-eye closure; try fastening on the loosest setting initially. Ensure you have selected the correct band size. The bra should feel snug but not constricting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. The primary setup involves adjusting the shoulder straps to your preferred fit using the sliders and fastening the hook-and-eye closure at the back. Ensure the bra sits smoothly against your body, with the underwire positioned comfortably beneath the breast tissue.
Compatibility: The Raffine bra is designed for adult women and pairs well with matching briefs from the same collection. It is suitable for wearing under a wide range of clothing, offering a natural shape that works with both casual and more formal attire.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Wacoal Raffine bra, hand wash is recommended in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bra while damp. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.
