FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra?
The primary benefit is its ability to create an ideal, natural breast shape thanks to the three-part underwired cup construction.
How does the lace affect the fit and comfort?
The stretch lace on the top cup, combined with fine elastic along the neckline, provides a flexible and comfortable fit that adapts to your body. The ultra-fine lace on the bottom cup is lined for support and comfort.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed as everyday lingerie, offering a balance of support, comfort, and a refined aesthetic suitable for various outfits.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothes?
The bra offers good shaping with a smooth profile due to the lined lace and hidden darts. However, very sheer or tight fabrics might subtly show the lace texture.
How should I care for this bra?
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent is recommended. Avoid tumble drying; lay flat or hang to air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Does the underwire strength vary?
Yes, the whalebone strength varies with size to provide the appropriate level of support and shape for each specific bra size.
Are there matching items available?
Yes, you can complete the ensemble with a pair of matching briefs from the Raffine collection.
Troubleshooting
Straps keep slipping
Ensure straps are adjusted correctly. If slippage persists, check if the band is sitting too low, which might indicate a need for a different band size, or if the straps have stretched over time.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Verify that the bra size and cup fit are correct. The underwire should encase the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort occurs, the underwire strength may vary with size, so ensure you have the correct fit for your body.
Bra band feels too loose or tight
The band is crucial for support. Try fastening the bra on the loosest hook initially and adjust to tighter hooks as it stretches. If it's uncomfortable on the loosest hook, a smaller band size may be needed.
Cups appear misshapen or wrinkled
Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue without gaping or overflowing. The underwired cups are designed for a specific shape, and proper fit is key to achieving this.
