these bra's are the nicest there is to wear for ease, comfort, quality.  having been injured in an auto wreck, my neck, shoulders and spine make it hard to put on a typical bra.  this is the smoothest of all.  soft, comfortable, easy as all get out.  the XL is that, plenty spacious and good coverage, even for a DD size!  they wash and dry well, nothing special.  cool water, knit fabric dryer setting.  or hang dry.  and the price is great!  happy happy happy.
