The hipster fits like a glove (both morning and evening body), isn’t itchy, and less funky than synthetics. I find it slightly too warm for the warmest summer days but happily wear it 10 out of 12 months.
Just ordered one to try, I’ve ordered 2 more. I do agree w another reviewer that the strap could be thinner. I have replaced all my underwear and have two busty bras. Love all my Branwyn.
I waited four months to write my review to see if the claims are actually true. I’m a 36C, athletic build girly and initially tried their original Essential Bralette which was not comfortable. I was able to exchange for the Busty version for free and very easily.
The bra offers decent support. I would not go for a run in this, but I’d consider lifting in it. The band will roll up sometimes but I rarely even notice. The material is seriously like magic. I’ll go for a walk and it’ll be sweaty with an odor. Once I leave it out to dry, the odor vanishes along with any evidence of it being wet.
This was my first merino purchase after using polyester bras for everything. It’s an expensive switch to make, but I plan to fully switch my undergarments to wool over time.
I am always SO reluctant to buy anything online, but especially bras. I am nursing and am a 36J. However, I’m super petite so bras are so hard for me to find. I got this because a friend recommended it. I’m so glad I did! I got a Large and there is no spillage on the sides or in the center. It has gentle and enough support where I’m not sagging all day (LoL!). The stretch is just enough to be able to lift over a single side to nurse. I can’t wait to buy more of these!
This bra is pretty comfortable. I would prefer the size XS band with the S cup material. The S band was too big and rubbed quite a bit. But the XS cups are a bit too confining. That being said, this does fit better than most bralettes I have tried, and I am able to wear it several times before it needs to be washed. For now, this will be my go-to daily bra. Hopefully, Branwyn will extend their sizing in the future.
This is hands down the BEST bra that I’ve ever worn. It is well worth the price. The fit is great and it only needs washing after 3 or 4 wearings. Amazing ( and pretty to boot)!
I love almost everything about my bra except that it does tend to roll at the bottom. This is still better than polyester underwire bras so I am happy with the comfortable fit! Yes, I bought the right size and yes I am short waisted so this may be why I’m having this fit result, still happy but being totally transparent about my experience. I’ll be making other purchases in the future.
This style did not fit me right. I love the bikini and the thong, though, so not a big deal. The quality is great like all Branwyn products.
Absolutely love this bra. I'm wearing it while traveling and it is comfortable, breathable, and supportive. I'm a 32C across the board and the medium is just a touch snug in the band at first but becomes much more comfortable as the day goes on. The only gripe I have is the straps could be a little wider and softer -- they feel like they are made out of traditional bra strap material and I would personally prefer something more cottony (as wool is likely too delicate for the straps). I'd also love to see options with a higher wool content than 81%. Overall would recommend as a comfortable travel, hiking, and everyday bra.
I’m 50 and it’s taken this long to find a bra I actually love! I have several of each style and love them all. I sized up for sports and I have both L and M’s for the others and they all feel great. I’ll wear a medium when in need a little more support.
I did swim in a lake with my light blue bra and skivvies. They are permanently stained brown with lake muck and the bottoms were very revealing.
I’m a 38 D-ish
I have been wanting to try this bra forever, but the reviews were mixed. I have 2 large busty bras but wanted more support, I am a 36DD. So I bought a medium busty bra and an XL sports bra. I am buying another sports bra today in a different color because I like it so much. The fit is perfect, if I sized down I would not be able to get it on and off without help. I haven't tried to exercise yet, but will update after I do.
Super soft and comfortable. I'm buying one in every color.
36G / 38DDD XL fits me best.
I've been wearing Branwyn bras for the past 18mos & love them! I wanted to post a review on sizing now that I've worn them for awhile. I initially followed the recommendation to size up but have found that my normal size works best for me (33B size small). While initially the medium felt best it stretched out over time and didn't provide me with enough support. The small while feeling a bit tight at first has ended up being the best fit for me over time.
I am not a busty girl (33B) but am loving the busy bra! I normally wear the bralette but decided to try a busty bra for a change. The busty gives me a little more support & I'll be wearing it for lighter workouts & hiking. It also looks good as a crop top. I went with a size small which is the perfect fit for me.
These are not sexy, but they come up high enough on my waist that my backpacking pack hip belt doesn’t cause them to slide down. The wool content is high so they don’t smell for a few days, even when putting in long miles. And the coverage is just right to prevent chafing! Between these and the Essential Busty bra, Branwyn is now my supplier for all of my hiking and backpacking undies.
They are so comfortable and they keep me dry. And I love the neutral colors.
I have worn my two bras and two pairs of underwear multiple times now. The fit and comfort is great. I will say that the first wear I thought they were a little itchy, but after washing and wearing again they definitely are not! I think I will slowly make these my whole undergarment wardrobe!
