FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size with the Raffine bra?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your rib cage directly under your bust. Then, measure your cup size by loosely wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a Wacoal size chart for accurate conversion and fit.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is recommended for hand wash only to protect the delicate lace and ensure its shape and longevity.
What is the best way to dry the bra after washing?
After hand washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the bra flat to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape the cups while damp.
What material is the bra made of?
The bra is primarily made from Nylon and features stretch lace detailing. The wings are lined with mesh for added support and security.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Raffine bra is designed for everyday wear, offering both comfort and support with a natural shaping effect suitable for various outfits.
What does 'underwired' mean for the fit?
Underwired bras have a thin metal or plastic wire sewn into the bottom of each cup. This wire helps to lift, separate, and support the bust, providing a more defined shape.
Are there matching items available for this bra?
Yes, the Raffine collection typically includes matching briefs to complete the set.
Troubleshooting
Straps falling down
Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted to the correct length and that the bra is the right size. If the issue persists, the elastic may be worn out.
Band riding up
Check if the band size is correct. The band should sit snugly and level on your back. You may need a smaller band size.
Cups not fitting properly (gaping or digging)
Verify the cup size is correct. If there's gaping, the cup may be too large; if digging in, it might be too small. Adjusting the straps can also help.
Discomfort or irritation
Ensure the bra is fastened correctly and straps are not too tight. Delicate materials can sometimes cause irritation; ensure it is properly cared for according to instructions.
