Product Information
Full details
The Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated and supportive lingerie option. Its key benefit is providing an ideal natural shape with exceptional comfort due to its three-section underwired cup and stretch lace top cup. A potential caveat for some users may be the specific fit of the stretch lace, which requires a precise measurement for optimal comfort and support.

FAQs
How do I find my correct Wacoal Raffine bra size?
It's recommended to get professionally measured or use a detailed online sizing guide. Pay attention to both the band size (around the rib cage) and the cup size (the difference between the bust and underbust measurement).
Can I machine wash this bra?
Wacoal recommends hand washing the Raffine bra with a mild detergent in cool water to maintain the delicate lace and ensure the longevity of the underwire and fabric structure.
What is the main benefit of the three-section cup design?
The three-section cup design provides excellent support and lift, helping to create a natural, rounded shape for the bust.
Is the lace on the top cup scratchy?
The top cup features a stretch lace with a sheer fine elastic designed for a perfect and comfortable fit, minimizing the risk of scratchiness.
Does this bra offer good support for larger busts?
Yes, the underwired design and supportive wings are engineered to provide significant support suitable for various bust sizes. However, individual fit and comfort can vary.
What occasions is this bra suitable for?
The sophisticated design makes it suitable for both everyday wear, offering comfort and support, and for more special occasions where a refined look is desired.
Are matching briefs available?
Yes, matching briefs are available from the Wacoal Raffine collection to complete the coordinated set.
Troubleshooting
Bra band rides up
Ensure the band is snug but not too tight. Check that the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly, as a tight band relies on proper strap tension.
Straps are digging in
Loosen the shoulder straps. If the band is in the correct position and still requires strap tension to stay up, the band may be too large.
Cups are not fitting properly (gaping or spilling)
Re-check your band and cup size. The underwire should sit flat against your rib cage, and the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without bulging or leaving gaps.
Underwire poking
Ensure the underwire casing is intact and the bra is the correct size. If the underwire is bent or broken, the bra may need replacement.
