FAQs
What type of support does the Raffine bra offer?
The Raffine bra offers excellent support through its three-section underwired cups, supportive mesh-lined wings, and adjustable straps, designed to create a natural shape and lift.
How should I determine my correct size?
Consult a professional bra fitting guide or try on different sizes. Key measurements include the band size (underbust) and cup size (difference between overbust and underbust). The product information lists band and cup sizes (e.g., 34D).
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Wacoal Raffine Bra requires hand wash only. Using a mild detergent in cool water and air drying will preserve the delicate materials and construction.
What makes the shape 'natural'?
The three-section cup design with specific wiring and lining works to lift, separate, and round the bust without over-flattening, creating a shapely, natural appearance under clothing.
Is the lace scratchy or uncomfortable?
The lace is designed to be delicate and comfortable. However, individual sensitivities can vary. Proper washing and ensuring the correct fit can minimize any potential discomfort.
What is the primary material composition?
The primary material composition is 76% Nylon/Polyamide, contributing to its smooth feel and supportive structure.
Does this bra offer a seamless look under clothes?
Yes, the smooth finish of the lined lace cups, the sheer elastic neckline, and the overall construction are designed to provide a seamless appearance under most garments.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your back, as a loose band can cause straps to carry too much weight.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting. Ensure you are wearing the correct band size. Hand wash care is crucial to maintain elasticity.
Underwire poking out or uncomfortable
This can occur with wear and tear or if the bra is not the correct size. Ensure the cups fully contain the breast tissue. If the underwire is damaged, discontinue use.
Lace feels itchy
While designed for comfort, some individuals may be sensitive to lace. Ensure the bra is properly rinsed after washing to remove any detergent residue. Consider pairing with a soft layering piece if irritation persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a bra, the Wacoal Raffine is ready to wear upon purchase. The primary setup involves adjusting the shoulder straps and the hook-and-eye closure to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the band sits level around your torso and the cups fully enclose your breasts without spillage or gaping.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and longevity of the Wacoal Raffine Bra, hand wash only is recommended. Use a mild detergent in cool water and rinse thoroughly. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying, as these can damage the delicate lace and elastic components. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
