FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size for the Raffine Underwired Bra?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure snugly around your ribcage just below your bust. Then, measure your bust size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a Wacoal size chart or a professional fitter for the most accurate measurement.
What is the best way to wash this bra to maintain its shape?
This bra is recommended for hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water, gently agitate, rinse thoroughly, and press out excess water. Lay flat or hang to dry, reshaping it while damp.
Can I wear this bra under thin or tight-fitting clothing?
Yes, the Wacoal Raffine Underwired Bra is designed to create a smooth, natural shape, making it suitable for most clothing types. The lace detailing is generally subtle.
What does 'three-section underwired cup' mean?
It means the cup is constructed from three distinct panels (usually top, bottom, and side) sewn together, along with an underwire, to create a specific shape, lift, and support for the bust, offering a natural appearance.
Are the straps fully adjustable?
Yes, the Raffine Underwired Bra features fully adjustable decorative straps, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and support.
What material is the bra made of?
The primary materials are Nylon and Polyamide (often referred to as nylon/polyamide or simply nylon in descriptions), with a significant percentage of Nylon (76%).
Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?
The Raffine collection offers various bra shapes and sizes, including underwired options designed to provide support and shape for larger cup sizes, with variable whalebone strength adjusted by size.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is at the correct tightness, as a loose band can cause straps to bear more weight and dig in.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too large. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting. If it's still riding up, consider sizing down in the band.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure you are wearing the correct cup size. If the underwire feels sharp or digs in, it might indicate the cup is too small, causing the wire to sit on breast tissue instead of around it.
Lace appears rough or irritated
The lace is designed to be delicate. Hand wash gently and avoid harsh detergents. Ensure the bra is fully dry before wearing. If irritation persists, hand wash and check for any loose threads.
