I've been buying this particular bra for years and it's really nice.  The greatest thing besides holding you in is the bra straps themselves.  They are wide on the shoulders and don't cut into you.  A real plus!  There is a lot of support with this bra.  I would handwash for it to last longer, but occasionally I have thrown it in the washer on the gentle cycle.  You just have to be careful because the material around the cups can weaken and then you are uneven.  But otherwise, It's a really nice bra.
