FAQs
What makes the Wacoal Eglantine bra unique?
The Wacoal Eglantine bra is unique due to its design, which is crafted almost entirely from decorative stretch lace, offering both aesthetic appeal and a comfortable, natural shape. It features subtle details like scalloped edges and hidden side reinforcements for added support.
How do I determine the correct size?
To find the correct size, measure your band size (around your ribcage just under your bust) and your cup size (around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure parallel). Consult Wacoal's official size chart for accurate conversion, as bra sizing can vary.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Wacoal Eglantine bra is designed for everyday wear. Its focus is on comfort and a natural shape, making it suitable for most daily activities. However, for high-impact sports, a more specialized bra is recommended.
What is the 'Gardénia' color?
Gardénia is a delicate off-white hue with a subtle touch of rose, providing a soft and romantic color option for the Eglantine collection.
How should I care for the lace to prevent damage?
It is best to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, wringing, or machine drying. Lay flat to air dry, reshaping while damp, to maintain the integrity of the lace.
Does the side reinforcement add bulk?
The side reinforcement is made of soft tulle and is designed to be hidden, providing support and shaping without adding noticeable bulk or stiffness.
What type of support does this bra offer?
This bra offers moderate support, focusing on creating a natural shape. The support comes from the all-lace cups, lined bottoms, elasticated scalloped edges, and side reinforcement, along with the adjustable straps and band.
Troubleshooting
Straps dig into shoulders
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is at the correct level and not too tight.
Bra band rides up
The band may be too loose. Try using a tighter hook setting. If it still rides up, the band size may be incorrect.
Lace feels scratchy
Ensure the bra has been washed according to care instructions to soften the lace. Check for any loose threads or snags that might be causing irritation.
Cups are not supportive enough
Verify the cup size is correct. Spillage or gaping indicates the cup size might be too small or too large. Ensure the band is snug, as it provides significant support.
Undergarment shows through thin clothing
While the Gardénia color is designed to be subtle, consider wearing it with clothing that offers moderate opacity. Using the nude or lighter shades can help minimize visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Fitting: Ensure the bra fits correctly. The band should sit comfortably level on your back, and the cups should fully enclose the breast without gapping or spillage. Adjust the straps for a secure yet comfortable fit.
- Fastening: Fasten the bra using the hook-and-eye closure at the back, starting with the loosest setting and tightening as needed over time.
Compatibility:
- This bra is designed for everyday wear and is best suited for moderate support needs.
- It pairs well with lighter fabrics and less structured clothing due to its delicate lace construction.
- Not recommended for high-impact activities or when very firm support is required.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Due to the delicate nature of the lace and satin, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is highly recommended.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the lace fibers and color.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse well after washing to remove all soap residue.
- Do Not Wring or Twist: Gently squeeze out excess water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, which can distort the shape.
- Dry Flat: Lay the bra flat on a clean towel to air dry, reshaping it while damp. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the lace, underwire (if applicable), and elastic components.
