Full details
This Wacoal Raffine Bra is designed for adult women seeking a blend of comfort, support, and delicate style. Its key benefit is the supportive underwired and padded cups that offer uplift and a smooth silhouette, complemented by a flirty lace design.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the graduated padding?
The graduated padding tapers off towards the top of the cup, providing uplift and forward projection for a natural, smooth shape without adding excessive volume.
Is this bra suitable for lower-cut tops?
Yes, the plunge design is specifically made to be worn with lower-cut or V-neck tops and dresses.
How do I find my correct Wacoal bra size?
Measure your band size under the bust and your cup size over the fullest part of your bust. Consult Wacoal's official sizing chart for accurate conversion, or visit a professional bra fitter.
Can I machine wash this bra?
It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent to preserve the delicate lace and elastic. Machine washing may damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan.
What does 'underwired' mean in bra terms?
Underwired bras have a supportive metal or plastic wire sewn into the bottom of each cup. This wire helps to shape, lift, and support the breasts.
Does the lace cause irritation?
The lace is designed to be delicate and usually does not cause irritation. However, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure the bra fits correctly, as improper fit can sometimes lead to rubbing or discomfort.
What is the Raffine range known for?
The Raffine range by Wacoal typically features elegant lingerie with delicate lace details, combining sophisticated aesthetics with comfortable support.
Troubleshooting
Bra band rides up
Ensure the band is adjusted to the correct tightness using the hook and eye closures. The band should sit parallel to the floor. If it continues to ride up, the band may be too large.
Straps dig into shoulders
Loosen the adjustable straps. If loosening doesn't help, the bra band might be too loose, causing the straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the underwire is sitting flat against the rib cage, not on breast tissue. Some initial discomfort may occur as the bra molds to your body.
Lace appears rough or snagged
Handle the bra gently during wear and washing. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects that could snag the lace.
