FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Raffine Underwired Bra?
The primary benefit is its ability to provide a natural, rounded shape to the bust, thanks to its three-section average wire cup design, making it ideal for seamless wear under various clothing types.
Is this bra suitable for sensitive skin?
The bra features a soft-touch hook-and-eye closure and a lined lace cup for comfort. However, individual sensitivity to materials can vary. The stretch lace is designed to be gentle, and a hidden dart ensures no rough edges.
How should I determine my correct size?
Accurate bra sizing involves measuring your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust). It is recommended to consult Wacoal's official sizing guide or get professionally fitted for the most accurate results.
Can I wear this bra for sports activities?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and moderate support. It is not recommended for high-impact sports activities, which require specialized sports bras for adequate support and moisture management.
What is the difference between this and other Wacoal bra styles?
The Raffine collection specifically focuses on a refined aesthetic with intricate lace details and offers a natural shaping silhouette via its three-section cup. Other Wacoal styles may offer different levels of support, coverage, or be designed for specific purposes like minimizing or push-up effects.
Are matching briefs available?
Yes, the Raffine collection typically offers matching briefs to create a coordinated set.
How do the support wings contribute to the bra's function?
The support wings are lined with mesh and trimmed with decorative elastic. They are designed to provide extra stability and prevent the bra from shifting, ensuring it stays comfortably in place throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping down
Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly and the bra is fastened securely. If slipping persists, the straps may be stretched and require replacement or a different bra size.
Underwire discomfort
Verify the bra size and cup fit are correct. The underwire should cup the breast tissue without digging in. Try adjusting the bra's position or consider if an underwire style is the best fit for your comfort needs.
Lace appears damaged after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended hand-wash, cool water, and lay-flat to dry instructions. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and machine drying, which can damage delicate lace.
Band riding up
The band should sit level around your torso. If it's riding up, the band might be too large. Ensure you are fastening the bra on the loosest hook initially, allowing for adjustment as it stretches.
