FAQs
What makes the Wacoal Raffine Bra unique?
The Raffine Bra is distinguished by its three-section underwired cup, which provides exceptional natural shaping and support. It features intricate, contemporary floral lace with decorative elastic trims for both style and a secure fit.
Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?
Yes, the Wacoal Raffine Bra is designed with varying levels of support based on size, including features like whalebone strength that adjusts to provide the right level of support and shape for larger busts.
How should I determine my correct size?
Accurate fitting is crucial. Measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust minus underbust). Wacoal offers a size chart, and professional fitting at a lingerie store is recommended for the most precise results.
Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?
While the lace is delicate, the construction aims for a smooth finish. For very thin or tight-fitting t-shirts, a seamless or t-shirt bra might offer a smoother appearance, but the Raffine Bra can work well under many casual tops.
What is the best way to care for the lace?
Hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is highly recommended. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, machine washing, and tumble drying to preserve the delicate lace.
Does this bra offer full coverage?
The bra features semi-encompassing cups designed to provide a natural shape and good coverage, suitable for average figures. The stretch lace top cup adapts to ensure a comfortable fit.
What does 'average wire cup' mean?
This refers to the shape and placement of the underwire within the cup, designed to encapsulate the breast and provide a natural, rounded profile suitable for average breast shapes.
Troubleshooting
Straps falling off shoulders
Ensure straps are adjusted correctly and the bra band is sitting level. If the issue persists, the bra may be worn out or the straps may need further tightening.
Underwire digging or discomfort
Check that the bra size is correct, particularly the band size. The underwire should sit flat against the ribcage. If discomfort continues, consider if an underwired style is suitable for you.
Lace snagging or tearing
Handle with care during wear and washing. Avoid contact with sharp objects like jewelry or rough surfaces. Follow hand-wash instructions precisely.
Band riding up
The band should be snug and level. If it rides up, the band may be too large or the bra needs replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Fitting: Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. The band should sit level on your back, and the cups should fully contain the breast without gaping or spillage.
- Fastening: Clasp the bra using the hook-and-eye closure at the back. Adjust the hooks for a snug but comfortable fit.
- Straps: Adjust the shoulder straps so they lie flat on your shoulders and provide the desired lift without digging in.
Compatibility:
- Under Outfits: Designed to be worn under a wide range of clothing, from t-shirts to more structured garments.
- Matching Set: Can be paired with matching briefs from the Wacoal Raffine collection for a coordinated look.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash is recommended using a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid machine washing to protect the delicate lace and underwire.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
