FAQs
What makes the Raffiné collection sophisticated?
The Raffiné collection achieves sophistication through its use of decorative, contemporary lace detailing, elegant floral patterns, and thoughtful construction designed to provide a smooth silhouette and a comfortable, natural shape.
How does the bra ensure a comfortable fit?
Comfort is achieved through several design elements: stretch lace on the top cups and along the neckline allows for flexibility, fine ultra-lace with lining provides support without stiffness, and adjustable straps ensure a personalized fit. The mesh-lined back adds to overall comfort.
What support features does this bra have?
Support is provided by the underwired, semi-encompassing cups, the supportive lining in the lower cups with a hidden clip, the mesh-lined back, and the scalloped back design which helps keep straps in place.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the bra is designed for everyday comfort and style, combining supportive features with elegant details suitable for daily use.
What is the material composition?
The primary materials mentioned are Linen for the outer fabric and Nylon for lining elements, along with lace detailing. Specific compositions can vary slightly by manufacturing batch.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means the band is snug and level, the cups fully enclose the breast without bulging or wrinkling, and the underwires lie flat against the ribcage. The straps should stay in place without digging in.
Does the lace offer any stretch?
Yes, the stretch lace on the top of the cups and along the neckline is specifically designed to provide a flexible and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Bra not providing enough support
Ensure you are wearing the correct band and cup size. The band should fit snugly on the loosest hook, and the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without gaping or spilling.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the bra straps to a comfortable length. If the issue persists, the band size might be too large, causing the straps to bear too much weight.
Lace feels uncomfortable
Ensure the bra is clean and properly fitted. Occasionally, a very slight break-in period might be needed for new lace garments. Proper washing and drying can help maintain softness.
Underwire poking
This usually indicates an improper fit, either in the cup or the band, or the underwire has become damaged. Check the fit and ensure the underwire casing is intact. If damaged, discontinue use.
