These things seem to come up a lot in discussions of good wireless bras, and I finally worked up the nerve to order one. First thing to know is that shipping to the US is currently taking a long time. It was a little over 3 weeks from the time I placed my order to when the package got here. It was worth the wait.
The design of this bra is very much not like a regular bra. It's more like a crop top with a wrap front. There's nothing adjustable at all, and it's very snug, so it's a bit of a challenge to get on. Somehow, though, ... the design works to provide really good support and a bit of separation while being extremely comfortable. I can't stand sleeping in a bra, but I think I could sleep in this one.
In terms of size, this is an XS Super, which equals out to a 28H/HH/J. I'm around a 28HH in regularly sized bras, and this fits me perfectly. It supposedly also fits 26HH/J/JJ, so I was a bit worried that it would be too tight in the band, but it's very comfortable. The straps feel a tiny bit snug, which seems normal for wireless bras. They're nice and wide so whatever weight is on them gets spread out well, and the back is very wide to take some weight as well. Since the straps aren't adjustable, they might be a problem for someone taller.
The black fabric is the firmest Molke has, a level 3, which they say can work as a sports bra. I don't think it would work for running or anything like that, but it was fine for some low-intensity yoga. I can bend over and move around without anything slipping out of place. It's supportive enough to leave the house in, and unlike a lot of wireless bras, it's smooth under a shirt since there are no seams on the cups. I don't have any nipple show through, but mine are pretty flat, so that might not be the case for others.
Measuring this bra was tricky since it stretches so much when it goes on, and one part that was especially hard to measure was the gore. Obviously, it's not like a wired gore. Instead, it's the place where one layer crosses over the other. This creates some separation between the breasts. It's also a lot lower than it seems when it's measured with the bra off. This is effectively a wireless plunge bra. I can wear a v-neck or wrap top with this bra with no problems. I think it's the only wireless bra I can say that for, at least in a 28HH. It's possible to adjust where the edge of the cup lies a bit to accommodate lower cut shirts, but only so much. It works for a low v-neck, but it definitely would not work with a square neck.
While trying this out with a couple different shirts, I discovered that it is also possible to create the "butt crack" cleavage effect with this bra and the right shirt. Pull the edges of the cups down and out a bit to create some spillage, and there you go. Not as dramatic of a lift as a too-small wired plunge bra can do, but if that's your thing, this is a wireless option for it.
Overall, this is in my top 3 wireless bras, along with the Cleo Freedom and the Bravissimo Flora. It's a great everyday bra.
