Pretty much all my bras are from VS and I have actually never read the tag on how to wash them lol!

I hate doing laundry so I always throw them in the wash, even the ones with ruffles, ribbons, rhinestones, lace, etc.

I have other bras that are pretty much completely covered in rhinestones from Marciano (my clubbing bras) I probably have around 5-6 of these bras and I send them out to be dry cleaned along with all my corsets.

I throw mine in a net bag with my undies and toss them in the machine. that way they dont get tangled.

I wash them in the machine - but I have a front loader so it's really gentle - it's the top loaders that kill your bras because they wrap around the aggitator and get trashed. I hang them to dry and I have never wrecked one yet.

Same here OTHER than the fact that I lay mine to dry instead of hanging. Oh and I hook them so they don't tangle with eachother

I used to hand wash, but don't anymore... I got one of those mesh bags from bed bath and beyond, and wash them in that in the washing machine. Saves me a lot of time, but keeps them from getting ruined.

No, I don't handwash but I don't just throw them into the washing machine on high with the towels either.
I have a lingerie bag that I put them in inside of the washing machine. Then I re-shape them and leave them out to air dry.
It's a happy medium, not too time consuming but doesn't destroy them either.
I had tried just slapping them in the washer and dryer, but usually the straps got twisted and tangled, the cups took on an octagon shape, and lint would cling to the mess... so yeah, lol.

To make hand washing more pleasurable and your bras smell really sexy, hand wash your bras in designer body wash. I got this tip from the cosmetologist when I bought a Guerlain Shalimar box set.

I always use a mesh bag and wash them on gentle cycle. I do not dry them in my dryer tho', I always hang them in the laundry room to dry.

The only thing I hand wash are my very expensive competition suits. I had a 1-pc that cost me $1000. lol. So, I always hand wash these with woolite.

I hand wash them. I'm really picky about my laundry! I hang all my clothes to dry. I hand was my bras and delicate shirts. I've had too many clothes end up shapeless or shrunk in the drier and its really not that time consuming. I used to machine wash my bras but the cups always became shapeless, covered in fuzz balls, and faded. Besides, I'm too cheap to ruin $40 bras!
