I like bras very much and have a lot of them. I keep them for years and years. Most of them are Chantelle, size 32F. Here's what I have:
9 "all-purpose" bras, 2 of which are clear favorites in terms of comfort. Various colors -- nude, black, purple, blue and rose. Some of them are lace, but supportive enough for everyday wear.
2 minimizer bras, 1 purple and one black
2 deep plunge bras, 1 nude, 1 light blue
6 fancy lace bras of various colors, not practical for all-day wear
4 sports bras that I haven't worn since I stopped going to barre class three years ago.
I usually wear a bra twice before washing. If it is one of my favorites, I might wear it three times if I have been indoors all day not doing anything sweaty.
I wash them in the machine in lingerie bags, always on cold, preferably on gentle cycle (but not always). I always hang them to dry.
