True to Size Bras (and "the largest size range on the market")
These are both claims made by a new brand, Confident Tiger, who say that a) using Boob or Busts's calculator will give you your "true bra size" and that their bras are sized according to this method
Now I have a big distaste for BoB's size calculator* that I'm not going to hide, as well as their fitting methods (too snug bands imo) weird thing of "relative sizing" (where you move two cups per band size instead of one) which they suggest sometimes for reasons unknown, their insitence that certain sizes aren't real (so you can't resell them on their selling group) etc, however I am very curious about this brand.
They currently sell bralettes for £60-£65 but are about to sell wired bras for £125. The photographs of the bras suggest fairly low quality, but that's the cost of manufacturing in the UK so I'm not mad about that. Their sizes are from 28C-44L, with every cup/band combo available. I don't think that surpasses EM so their claim about having the largest size range either shows a bit of a fib, using the UK market, or a lack of research into extended size bras
Two things I'm curious about:
1. Do their bras measure as we would expect them to given bratabase data?
2. Are their bras designed such that the BoB calculator actually works? (I doubt it because of variances in fat distribution around the torso)
I would love to get my hands on one but unfortunately they're out of budget for me at the moment. What are your thoughts?
*suggesting 26J for me right now, I estimate I'm about a 28H-30GG currently although I'm now making my own bras so I might be a bit off piste with that

I don't see immediately where they've made the claim that they have the biggest size range on the market (and I don't feel like digging through their website, apologies!), but that's patently untrue if they are saying that. Maybe if they mean in terms of brands that sell in the traditional band size/cup size fashion, but Molke makes bras to fit a 26-54 A ~ M (:19), excepting a few cup sizes in larger bands.
