Full details

The Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is designed for adult women seeking elegant support and natural shaping for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of intricate floral lace with a supportive construction for a beautiful silhouette under clothing. A potential caveat is that the delicate lace may require careful handling during washing to maintain its integrity. This bra features a three-section average wire cup, stretch lace with a fine elastic edge for a secure fit, and supportive wings lined with mesh.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Raffine bra's design?

The main benefit is its ability to provide a natural, rounded shape with comfortable support, thanks to its three-section underwired cups and stretch lace construction.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your band size (around your ribcage) and your cup size (the difference between your bust measurement and band measurement). Refer to Wacoal's sizing chart for accurate conversion.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, it is designed for everyday wear, offering a blend of comfort, support, and a smooth silhouette under various clothing types.

Can I machine wash this bra?

Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the delicate lace and ensure the longevity of the bra. If using a machine, use a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle with cold water.

What kind of support does this bra offer?

It offers moderate support with its underwired cups and supportive, mesh-lined wings, ideal for average bust sizes.

Does the lace offer any stretch?

Yes, the top cup features stretch lace, and there is a fine elastic along the neckline to ensure a comfortable and adaptable fit.

What is the purpose of the hidden dart in the cup?

The hidden dart works with the ultra-fine lace lining to provide maximum shaping and create a smooth, seamless look under clothing.

Troubleshooting

Bra does not fit comfortably

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Consult a sizing guide or professional fitter if unsure. The underwire may need time to mold to your body.

Straps dig into shoulders

Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable level. If digging persists, the band might be too loose, requiring a tighter fit or a different size.

Lace appears to be stretching out

Ensure the bra is being washed according to care instructions, preferably by hand with mild detergent. Avoid stretching the lace during washing and drying.

Underwire poking through fabric

This can happen with wear and tear. Inspect the bra for any tears near the underwire casing. If minor, you might be able to carefully stitch it, but significant damage may require replacement.
