30B - Asos Collection » Grace Applique Underwired Bra (02732866
I love the visual design of this bra. Despite the band length having a loose fit (probably due to the mesh material) it isn't unwearable. The cups fit well but the applique on one cup was placed slightly higher than the other causing wrinkling/a point at the top. It was visible underneath a fitted shirt but I was able to fix this with a few stitches.

Buy her some wash balls/bags as a gift? My mum stubbornly sticks to her unpadded cotton softcups, but since she discovered the hooks get caught on things and come off in the machine, she's actually started closing the clasps and washing all her bras in bags. She still puts them in the dryer, though, which is a whole other road to cross...
Thank goodness for my washing machine that has specialty settings but isn't a front-loader! I only have one bra with cookies, but the cookies have since been discarded because they're so darn impractical not to mention unnecessary in a bra I only wear around the house. Most of my laundry gets done in a few massive loads separated by light, dark, and whites/towels. But in the interest of extending their useful life expectancy, my bras are bagged and washed in separate mini-setting hand-wash setting loads; one for nude and light colors, and a second for the dark colors and brights prone to color bleed. Brights are put through a couple wash cycles a-la-sink by themselves first so they don't pick up each other's dye.
