FAQs
How do I determine my correct Wacoal Raffine bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult Wacoal's official sizing chart for the most accurate conversion.
Can I machine wash the Wacoal Raffine bra?
No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to preserve the delicate lace and the integrity of the underwire and fabric.
What is the best way to dry this bra?
After hand washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the bra flat on a clean towel or hang it to air dry. Avoid using a machine dryer or direct heat sources.
What does 'three section average wire cup' mean?
This refers to the construction of the cup, divided into three panels supported by an underwire. This design is specifically engineered to provide excellent lift, shaping, and a natural appearance under clothing.
How do the support wings function?
The support wings are designed to extend from the cup to the back band. They are often lined with mesh for breathability and to provide a smooth, secure fit, helping to keep the bra in place and offer additional support.
What kind of occasions is this bra suitable for?
The Wacoal Raffine bra is suitable for everyday wear, especially when you want a smooth, natural shape under your clothes. Its elegant lace also makes it appropriate for more dressed-up occasions.
Does this bra come in other colors or styles?
The Raffine collection typically comes in a few core colors like Beige and Black. While this guide focuses on the underwired lace style, other variations within the Raffine line might exist.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is at the correct hook and eye setting for your comfort.
Underwire poking through
This can happen with wear. Check the fabric around the underwire casing for any tears. If minor, stitching may help. If significant, the bra may need replacement.
Bra not providing enough support
Ensure you are wearing the correct band and cup size. The band should sit firmly on your ribcage. Re-check the fit and adjust straps.
Lace feels itchy
Ensure the bra is rinsed thoroughly after washing to remove any detergent residue. Some individuals may have sensitivities to specific lace materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: As a bra, the 'setup' involves selecting the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. Ensure the band is level and snug, and the cups fully enclose the breast tissue. Adjust the shoulder straps to achieve the desired lift and support.
Compatibility: This bra is designed for women. It pairs well with the matching briefs from the Raffine collection for a coordinated look. It is suitable for wearing under a wide range of garments, particularly those where a smooth and natural shape is desired.
Care: This product is recommended for hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or wringing, which can damage the delicate lace and underwire. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
