I LOVE this bra. Like other reviewers suggested, I went down a size from the suggested measurements (M instead of L) and it fits perfectly. I find my chest is supported, there's no gapping at the sides, and it's comfortable all day long! I bought this one and the bralette at the same time, and exchanged the bralette for a second one of these because I love it so much.
As with the Essential Busty Bralette, the material and make of this bra is very nice. However, it didn't fit my body at all! My breasts were spilling out the sides, and they felt totally unsupported. A smaller size would've been worse on the spillage, and a larger size would've left me hanging. I exchanged it for a second Busty Bralette.
Absolutely love these! They are true to size and hold up really well. They don't lose their elasticity or shape over time
These hipsters fit well but I would LOVE a pair that is even more high waisted. Please, please make high waisted hipsters (or Briefs) for ultimate comfort, for under flowy dresses, for pregnant bellies (and after pregnancy!), for when Hipsters still slide down under your mid-section, and for sleeping in with a tank top. Also adding that I normally wear size M in underwear but take L in Branwyn hipsters for a great fit and NO cutting in/showing under garments.
I love it! I was reluctant to buy and so glad I did. Will buy more and make these my everyday underwear!
I like how comfortable it feels against my skin; it is light and breezy, not constrictive. I have a heavy chest; it does hold it all, but the support is light.
Very comfortable and breathable. Looking forward to acquiring more pairs.
I originally purchased the Essential Busty Bra in Small as recommended but found it got loose over time. So I decided to purchase the same bra in xsmall and it is perfect! Sooo comfortable. Not sure what to do with my small versions now.
I am big breasted, with a relatively narrow rib cage, and have been desperate to find a bra that doesn’t chafe under the boobs. I was pleasantly impressed that the wool fabric is soft, and the strap hardware doesn’t dig in anywhere. The almost dealbreaker was the rough finish stitching that holds the straps to the bra in front. They were rough and irritating along the collar bone. However, I found that by crisscrossing the straps (great feature!) I not only got better support, but the nubby stitching was less noticeable. Also, everything got softer with wear plus a washing- wool fabric, nubby stitch, slightly scratchy elastic straps. Plus, absolutely NO chafing! Woo hoo! I’m thrilled! Hooray for wool!
I saw this on a list of hiking bras for busty gals snd this has not disappointed. Have yet to try out on an overnight trip but I’ve worn it most days since I’ve got it and it has a reasonable amount of support (I’m a 32F wearing a small and its not tight at all). Also looks super cute!
Perfect every day undies! I only bought two pairs and want more. They are so comfortable, don’t ride up, and are even unnoticeable when wearing with yoga leggings. I followed the size chart and bought a medium (that’s the size I usually wear in other brands also) and they are a perfect fit.
Love these bras, I have been hiking & mountain biking in them & they are comfy & supportive. I am short, petite & busty, & don’t like underwires so it’s really hard to find bras that fit right, these are my new go-to’s! For reference I’m less than 5’, 105lbs, D-DD, and between XS & S so I went with the XS - I washed & wore wet to stretch them to my shape & the coverage works fine!
I love this bra to wear around the house and on errands. I would love it even more if it lifted and separated.
I am so pleased with Branwyn customer service. Have confirmed the essential hipster is the style best for me. I have in both the nude and black and am slightly more happy with the nude. Not sure why the black (same with the bras) feels a little less comfy, the fabric feels slightly stiffer and less substantial. Still am a huge fan and pretty much have abandoned all other undergarments.
