This review is from: Wacoal Women's Arabesque Underwire Bra #85199 (Apparel)
LOVE this brand and LOVE this bra. It fits well and is comfortable enough for everyday wear, but is nice enough to wear under dressier clothing, too.
I put mine in the washing machine occasionally, in a special wired, shaped bra bag purchased overseas that can be used in a front-loader wash machine at the 1000 rpm and higher cycle. I have also used the Bra Baby plastic "cage" in a top loading machine in the US. I like both tools. I use woolite, low temp, gentle cycle, and throw in my Aquis microfiber towels at the same time, to cushion everything.
I DO NOT PUT ANY BRA I OWN IN A TUMBLE DRYER. If you do not have the time on a regular basis to dry these flat on a towel, or line-dry them, don't plan on washing and wearing them frequently. Even the best-made bras will fall apart if mishandled--and putting these in a heated dryer against the manufacturer's advice, is abusing them. Wacoal lingerie looks great and does so for a long, long, time when well-treated.
This is a nice style/fit for me and I like the support it provides.
But do yourself a favor before you buy online, particularly if you are a C cup and above: have a certified bra fitter check you for fit first, in a store that sells Wacoal. After that? Go crazy buying everything in your size!

This has become my new favorite bra!, August 27, 2010
Love, love, love this bra. I bought it in black when it was on sale. I'm larger breasted (34D) and it can be a hassle to find a bra that is that glorious trifecta: sexy, supportive, and comfortable. This bra accomplishes all three. It seems to be quality materials and construction.
