Product Information
Full details
The Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is designed for women seeking a sophisticated and naturally shaped silhouette. Its key benefit is the three-section average wire cup construction that provides excellent support and a smooth, natural shape under clothing. A potential caveat is that, like many underwired bras, the fit can be very personal and may require trying different sizes for optimal comfort.

FAQs
What type of support does the Wacoal Raffine Bra offer?
The Wacoal Raffine Bra features an underwired, three-section cup design that provides average support and a natural, rounded shape. The wings are also designed to offer additional support and comfort.
How do I find the right size?
It is recommended to get professionally measured. You can also measure yourself at home by finding your band size (underbust measurement) and cup size (difference between bust and underbust measurement). Consult Wacoal's sizing chart for guidance.
Is the lace on this bra durable?
The bra uses stretch lace and fine elastic, designed for comfort and aesthetics. While durable for its type, it is a delicate material and requires careful hand washing to maintain its integrity.
Can I wear this bra with t-shirts?
Yes, the smooth shaping provided by the three-section cup and hidden dart makes it suitable for wearing under t-shirts and other form-fitting garments.
What occasions is this bra best suited for?
The refined design with decorative lace makes it suitable for everyday wear, as well as for occasions where a touch of elegance is desired, complementing various outfits.
Does this bra come with matching bottoms?
Yes, the Raffiné collection typically includes matching briefs, allowing you to create a coordinated lingerie set.
What is the material of the bra?
The bra features stretch lace and is lined with mesh in the support wings. Specific material composition can usually be found on the product tag.
Troubleshooting
Underwire poking or discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. Check for any damage to the underwire casing. If the issue persists, a different size or style might be necessary.
Straps slipping
Adjust the shoulder straps to a tighter setting. Ensure the back band is secure and level. If slipping continues, consider a bra with wider straps or a different band size.
Lace feels scratchy
Sometimes lace can feel slightly stiff initially. Try wearing the bra for short periods to soften it. Ensure you are using a gentle detergent formulated for delicates.
Bra not providing enough support
Verify that the band size is correct, as the band provides the majority of the support. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Consider a different bra style if more uplift is needed.
