Product Information
Full details
The Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and naturally shaped silhouette. Its key benefit lies in the three-section average wire cup construction combined with stretch lace for a smooth, supportive fit under various outfits. A potential consideration is that lace detailing, while attractive, may offer less smooth coverage under very form-fitting garments compared to seamless styles.

FAQs
What makes the Wacoal Raffine Bra different from other Wacoal bras?
The Raffine collection, including this underwired bra, features decorative, contemporary stretch lace and is designed with multiple bra shapes. This specific underwired style uses a three-section cup for a natural shape, combined with delicate lace detailing.
How do I determine my correct bra size for this model?
It is recommended to measure your band size (around the ribcage) and cup size (difference between bust and band measurement). Wacoal offers sizing guides on their website, or you can visit a professional bra fitter for accurate measurements.
Is the lace on this bra scratchy?
The Raffine bra uses stretch lace and is lined in certain areas for comfort. While generally designed to be soft, individual sensitivity to lace can vary. The lining in the cup and mesh in the wings aim to enhance comfort.
Can this bra be machine washed?
It is best to hand wash the Wacoal Raffine Bra with a mild detergent in cool water. Machine washing, especially on a delicate cycle, may still cause damage to the lace and underwire over time. Always avoid the dryer.
What kind of support does the underwire provide?
The underwire is designed to provide lift and shape, working with the three-section cups to create a natural and rounded silhouette. The strength of the underwire may vary slightly in different sizes to ensure optimal support.
What materials is this bra made from?
The bra is primarily made from 76% Nylon/Polyamide, 14% Elastane, and 10% Viscose.
Does this bra offer a smooth finish under tight clothing?
The bra offers a refined shape due to its construction. While the lace is delicate, it may show slight texture under very tight or thin fabrics. The lined cup with a hidden dart helps to provide a smoother appearance than many other lace bras.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps slipping down
Ensure the adjustable straps are tightened appropriately. Check if the bra size is correct, as ill-fitting sizes can contribute to strap slippage.
Underwire discomfort
Verify that the underwire channels are correctly positioned under the breast tissue. Ensure the band size is correct; a band that is too loose can cause the underwire to shift. Consider if a different bra style might be a better fit for your shape.
Lace appearing through thin fabric
While the lace is designed to be elegant, for extremely sheer or form-fitting garments, consider wearing a smoother, seamless bra. This bra is best suited for fabrics where the lace detailing can be a feature or is not visible.
Band riding up
The band should sit level. If it rides up, the band may be too large. Ensure the hook-and-eye closure is fastened on the loosest setting initially, allowing for adjustment as the bra stretches over time.
