FAQs
How do I find the right Wacoal Raffine bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Then, measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult Wacoal's size chart for the most accurate conversion.
Can this bra be worn under t-shirts?
Yes, the smooth construction and natural shaping provided by the three-section cup and fine lace make it suitable for wearing under t-shirts, especially those made of softer fabrics.
What is the best way to clean the Raffine bra?
The bra should be hand washed only with a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid bleach, machine washing, and tumble drying to preserve the delicate lace and overall structure.
Does this bra offer good support for larger cup sizes?
The three-section underwire cup and supportive wings are designed to offer excellent support. However, individual needs may vary; for maximum support, ensuring the correct band and cup size is crucial.
What does 'average wire cup' mean?
An average wire cup typically refers to a standard underwire placement that offers support and shaping without being excessively deep or shallow, aiming for a natural fit for many bust shapes.
Is the lace on the bra scratchy?
The Raffine bra uses ultra-fine lace and a sheer fine elastic along the neckline, designed for comfort. The materials are chosen to be soft against the skin.
Can I match this bra with other Wacoal lingerie?
Yes, this bra is part of the Raffine collection, and matching briefs are available to create a complete lingerie set.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps falling down
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct tightness. If the issue persists, the straps may be stretched or worn, and it might be time to replace the bra.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Verify the bra size is correct. An incorrect size can cause the underwire to shift. Ensure the bra is not damaged; if the fabric around the underwire is torn, it should be replaced.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try tightening the hook and eye closure or adjusting the straps. If the band is stretched out, it may be time for a new bra.
Lace snagging
Be careful when wearing the bra around rough surfaces or jewelry. Hand wash gently and avoid harsh detergents that could weaken the lace fibers.
