Full details
The Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is designed for adult women seeking natural shaping and comfortable everyday wear.

FAQs
What type of support does this bra offer?
The Wacoal Raffine Bra offers average support through its three-section underwired cups and supportive mesh-lined wings, designed for a natural shape and comfortable everyday wear.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to Wacoal's official sizing guide. Measure your band size and cup size accurately. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try both or consult a professional bra fitter.
Can this bra be machine washed?
Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the delicate lace and structure of the bra. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can lead to damage.
Is the lace material comfortable?
Yes, the bra features stretch lace and is lined in key areas for comfort. The design aims to balance delicate aesthetics with a comfortable feel for prolonged wear.
What outfits is this bra best suited for?
This bra is ideal for everyday wear and works well under fitted clothing, blouses, and sweaters, providing a smooth, natural silhouette. It's also elegant enough for more special occasions.
Does the bra come with matching underwear?
Yes, the Raffine collection typically includes matching briefs that can be purchased separately to complete the ensemble.
How does the underwire contribute to the fit?
The underwire is integrated into a three-section cup to provide lift and separation, creating a natural rounded shape. The variable whalebone strength in different sizes ensures appropriate support.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a too-loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try tightening the hook-and-eye closure or consider a smaller band size. Ensure the back is flat against your skin.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure you have the correct cup size. If the underwire consistently pokes or digs, it may indicate the cup is too small or the wire shape is not suited to your breast shape. Gentle washing can also help maintain wire flexibility.
Lace snagging or tearing
Handle the bra with care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid abrasive surfaces. Always follow the hand-wash only instructions and avoid wringing or harsh scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
Designed for adult women, this bra is compatible with most types of clothing, from casual wear to more formal attire.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the delicate lace and overall structure of the bra, hand washing is recommended. Use a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat or hang to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fine materials.
