I purchased size small, and after adjusting the straps, it fit just right. Initially, it felt a little itchy, but by day 2 it was almost like a second skin. This is my first unpadded bra. For the past several years I’ve been wearing Pact organic cotton bralette. It was time to replace some, so I decided to try Branwyn since I’m a big fan of wool (and cotton) garments. I purchased 2 in different colors, and have been wearing one for several days now. It still seems fresh, though I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out after a wash. I’ll plan to try a couple pair of the undies next!
I really didn't like this bra because the fit was almost like a crop top. It was just so much fabric
I love everything about this tank. I have a long torso and it’s hard to find shirts that aren’t too short. Not this beauty. The weight, the color, the styling - perfection. 5’7” / 150 lbs. I went for the large and I’m glad I did.
This is the second time I have owned a Branwyn bralette. The first one was so itchy and unflattering that I finally got rid of it. But I love the Branwyn underwear and base layers… so after researching more about wool care and consulting with Branwyn Support, I decided to try again. I bought the Future Dusk color, and immediately did a vinegar and water soak, and then washed the bralette in a wool wash containing lanolin. Two treatments of this seems to have taken care of the itchiness pretty well!
To remedy the unflattering appearance (my breasts no longer defy gravity, and I was small- busted to begin with) I tried a pair of Branwyn’s nontoxic insert pads, but was not thrilled with them – – they would not stay put and I had to trim them a whole lot, after which they weren’t very comfortable as they shifted around. Ultimately, I ended up making a pair of pads for myself out of several layers of a felted merino sweater I had at home. I also treated them with the vinegar and water and wool wash, and I am now very pleased with them, as they stay put in the bralette with no problem. Maybe Branwyn could make and sell something similar?
I wore it every day this week…didn’t smell.. my expectations were low.but it fits so comfortably. After day 1 I ordered 2 more. The underwear also were amazing. I wished I’d had them on the Camino de Santiago!…and will have them the next time I go!
These were too tight/small on me. Measurements are 31" waist, 38" hip, and 39" butt - I typically wear a medium. It would really help if measurements were listed in the sizing.
I’d give it a 6 star rating if the hardware was moved to the front and if there were pockets for or sewn in pads to disguise nipples. It is very comfortable.
First impression after wearing it for a few days: definitely very comfortable material, soft, good fit. But the bottom definitely rolls up quite a lot which would be a total no no for me under tight Tshirts
I live constantly in my two busty bralettes and wanted to try this out for more intense days at the gym, hiking, and doing aerial arts. I typically wear ~36DD in regular bras (I'm 32" at the ribs and 40" at the bust, broad shoulders). The size large fits well, giving me enough room at the arm opening/lats. The fabric and seams are a little itchy where the other bras aren't. This bra is supportive and offers a more shaping power than the bralettes. I'm not convinced I like racerback shaped straps, but I like the compression fit so I hope they relax just enough to fit more comfortably on the top of the shoulder. Everything stays put when upside down and it wicks sweat so well! I will wear this a lot!
Nicebra. Similar to other ones I have but I like that the fabric on this one is natural instead of polyester or some other man-made thing. I would like a thinner band underneath the bra, but that’s just personal preference. Overall, it’s a win.
The bra is too long. It nearly reaches my waist. Because of this it rolls up and is uncomfortable.The underwear is also larger than usual. The material is heavy and too thick for warmer weather on both. I would say that I’m dissatisfied.
This bra is amazing
It feels like you’re not wearing a bra it’s so comfortable. Absolutely love it!
I love this sports bra but it is just too thick and warm for a hot day. The busty bra is lighter weight and works for me as a sports bra.
I need more support but the detail of quality from shipping to the fabric is EXCELLENT!
I wish I realized that these were final sale before purchasing. The seams don’t lay flat so the bunch around the camel toe area and don’t really fit around my hips/butt. I guess I’ll try them out under my ski gear but otherwise not what I was expecting based on reviews.
These underwear are soft, comfortable, fit perfectly and stay put under my clothing! I love them and will be ordering more!
I’ve already had multiple pairs of these hipsters and I love them. When it came out in this color, I couldn’t not resist getting another pair. I am not disappointed and the color is perfect.
Love these pieces for backpacking. I’m a heavy sweater, especially when backpacking and would always have to remove my sports bra when I got to camp and *hope* that it dried by the morning (it rarely did). I wore the bralette and it dried within an hour of me never having to even take it off and never felt chilled while when I stopped hiking (in 40°F temps too!). Definitely ordering another set!
