Full details

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the padding in this bra?
The lightly padded cups in the Wacoal Raffine bra are designed to provide a smooth, rounded shape and to prevent nipple show-through under clothing, contributing to an even silhouette.
Can I wear this bra with a strapless dress?
No, this bra is not suitable for strapless outfits as it features adjustable shoulder straps and a rear hook-and-eye closure.
How should I wash this bra to ensure its longevity?
It is essential to hand wash the Wacoal Raffine bra only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and avoid machine washing, bleach, or tumble drying.
What does 'contour bra' mean?
A contour bra, like the Wacoal Raffine, is designed with molded or padded cups that create a smooth, rounded shape and provide a seamless look under clothing. It offers shaping without adding significant volume.
Does this bra offer side support?
According to the product details, this bra does not offer specific side support features. Its primary support comes from the underwiring and the band.
What material is the bra made of?
The Wacoal Raffine contour bra is primarily made of Polyester, contributing to its durability and smooth finish.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to Wacoal's official sizing guide for accurate measurements. Ensure you correctly measure your band size and cup size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the hook and eye fastening on the back closure. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Refer to Wacoal's sizing guide if needed.
Straps dig into shoulders or slip off.
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. If straps consistently slip, check that the bra band is sitting correctly at the narrowest part of your back and is snug.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking.
Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. The underwire should encase the breast tissue completely. If discomfort persists, the bra may be damaged or the fit is incorrect.
Fabric pilling or losing shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the hand wash only instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or wringing the fabric. Air dry completely.
