hmmm...all my bras have underwire so i can't help w/ the 'no underwire' requirement but try wacoal or fellina. those brands are awesome.

I have recently become a huge fan of Wacoal bras. Previously I thought of them to be for older ladies, but then I tried them on and they fit amazingly. The one I own is called the Convertible Perfect Contour. It does have underwire, but honestly, it's the most comfy underwire I've ever worn - somedays I forget I even have the bra on! Also, it gives a very natural shape and doesn't cause that weird pointy thing that happens in some other bras. I haven't yet used the convertible aspect of the bra, I really didn't buy it for that feature - just more for the comfort and shape than anything else. HTH!

Sorry I'm no help. I have to wear underwire and I can't seem to find a darn bra to hold me up!

I have a few I got from VS that are lined. You may want to try there.

Great support with no wires and its super comfortable.

I love the Very Sexy collection at Victoria's Secret - they're lined but not 'molded' and have a nice natural shape. They also offer it in a no-wire style:

Though it may be a little less coverage than you are looking for.

This one is also really nice (signature cotton from VS) - no wires and double lines for no show-through.

This one from Barely There looks interesting. I think I have the underwire version and its a good alternative to molded cups (I hate those!)

Since I became pg my boobs have grown to a 36D, and I have really itchy skin so I had to get all new bras, and they had to be super comfortable. I absolutely swear by these bras from Spanx:

They are so comfortable and the support is really great. I don't have any probs with my nips anymore, which is a huge accomplishment. The only caveat is that it takes about a day to get used to them. Once you are used to them though, you will not want to take them off. Also, the shape is really good but just slightly sports bra-ish. In other words, I would prefer it if it would lay more flat in between the bbs - you know? It doesn't give you a monoboob look AT ALL, and I wear these every day, but I just wish it was a tiny bit more against my skin in the in between part--not sure if that makes sense. Anyway, it is a great bra for pg and non-pg girls and I highly recommend it! I got mine at Nordstrom, so you can go there if you want to try it on first (the price is better on this site though). HTH and let me know what you think.
