GUYS! I have THE best find to share with you all!

Looking for an ethical, sustainable, wireless bra available in 26:4-48:19?* Look no further!

*(excluding 38:19, 42:19, 46:19, and 48:18-19 also an old version of their size chart said they did AA-C cups too)

My shape: full on top, short roots, high set, very narrow/borderline Omega shaped, space between breasts, very soft breast tissue, pendulous, evenish to somewhat center fullness (5'1, short torso, store a lot of fat in my ribcage)

I gave Molke a try because I was tired of waiting around for Lara Intimates to start stocking H or HH cups and found a ... few more ethical, sustainable fuller bust companies, not a ton, but one of those was Molke, which by far has the biggest size range. Huge success! I wore this bra all day today--working, being in class, driving around, walking my dog, and it was super comfortable all day. The fabric is soft and firm, you can never move weird and have a wire poke at you, and the elastic band at the bottom never rolled up under my bust (!!!). This bra held my boobs firm to my chest, and I'd say the amount of movement I got wearing it was pretty much identical to a wired bra.

I absolutely love how these cups are made. It's a wrap style, so the bra essentially crisscrosses in the front--one cup is sewn to the bottom under the other one, so each boob has its own place and gets its own lift, and they don't touch each other. It's an excellent solution to the no-gore-problem in wireless bras--it feels a lot like when I'm just hanging out and shove my shirt under my boobs. It feels natural and comfortable, is I guess what I mean. I'd also say this bra gets a lot of its lift from the fabric being so firm--it feels like the elastic keeps your boobs from falling past a certain point and then the bra just squishes them against your chest. It reminds me a bit of a binder but with less sweat, so I was fond of it. The bra gives a very minimized look as a result.

Speaking of the minimized look, Molke offers a lot of cool patterns. I really like my Uni-verse pattern, but they also have available bras with dinosaur and space patterns--not too typical in bras!

I was a little conflicted picking out a size, but I ended up getting the S Super, which I think was the right choice. The S Super is the 2nd of 6 band sizes and 3rd of 5 cup sizes and is supposed to fit a 30H-J. Here's what I was worried about: the band being too big (I'm leaning towards a 28 nowadays, but the XS is also supposed to fit a 26), the cup being too big (being the smallest size in the S Super), and the straps being too long (they're nonadjustable). The bra feels good, though. The cups are pretty full coverage and there's some wrinkling on my smaller side, but it's not uncomfortable, and I kind of like the full coverage look, especially since the bra is so pretty. You can also see there's a bit of wrinkling towards the strap area--my impression was that, yeah, the straps could probably be a bit shorter, but they contribute so little to the fit it wasn't a problem. I think if you're on the taller side you might have issues with these straps, but I think people a bit shorter than me could manage with the straps too. I'll also note that Molke sells bras at different levels of firmness--supposedly 1-3, where 3 is the firmest, but they're only offering 2 and 3 right now. This bra is a 3: I wonder if I would be bothered by the straps on a 2?

The straps are also very wide and the cups come up pretty high (if you're on the smaller end of the size? in general?)--be prepared for it to show under non t-shirt or button-down shirts.

I usually wear a UK32H with most brands, and took the size calculator on the site to be recommended a bra size of UK32JJ and their size of a M/Super. Partially ignoring this information (because 32JJ is ridiculously oversized on me), and taking into account that a lot of reviews stated that the band was quite loose, I looked at the size guide and determined that a size S/Super would be more ideal for me.

Visually the bra is really beautiful, with the unicorn galaxy print I was itching to get, but once it was on (which took quite a while because big bust and small rib cage make ... for awkward pulling on without a hook and eye closure) I wasn't feeling too great.
First of all, the straps were incredibly short. By design, they seem to be made for the small pixie women the site always mentions. (I have a long torso for my 1,72m/5'8" height). It is so short that I felt the bra was determined to make my boobs start at my collarbones, rather than where they actually start; at about the height of my armpits. Because of this my center-heavy tissue felt the need to escape out the middle at the (by design) non-existent gore. Then there was the issue of the band being too loose in the back and it riding up (despite my sizing down), but being too tight in the front where I actually needed it. Turns out I have a need for two different band sizes in this brand...
I'd say this is a no-fit for me, mainly because my tissue is way too soft for something with hardly any construction to give me enough support, when not even regular bras can provide this for me. If I had firmer tissue I'd at least consider altering the band of a larger size to fit tighter in the back, but I'm not seeing a good future with this bra. I'm sending it back and hoping that someone else has a better experience with it.

Edit: In hindsight the cups were probably too small for me. I have now been wearing an M Super and while it feels alright with the fit (absolutely amazing in the comfort department though, because no wires means I have barely any chafing in the summer), the band is riding up in the back and the straps still feel quite short. Someone has pointed out to me that a bigger cup size might help so I am soon going to get an M Mega and S Mega to compare.

Galaxy Unicorn Print colorway

This is my unicorn bra. Literally. It's super comfortable, it fits perfectly, it supports my giant boobs, and it has space unicorns on it.

So, for those not already familiar with Molke, this is their original bra style. It's a wireless bra with a wrap front that functions sort of like the gore of a wired bra to keep the breasts separate. Support comes from a thick, sturdy band, a wide back, and wide straps. I find the support as good as a wired bra. The shape is a bit different than a typical wired bra - more minimized, less separated, but about the same lift. Nothing is adjustable, ... meaning that it may not work for taller folks or anyone who has trouble putting things on that have to be pulled over the head. With the tight band, it does take a bit of wiggling and reaching it get it on. Once it's on, though, it's staying in place. While there are seams around the edges of the cups and the band, there are no seams on the cups themselves, and the material is a nice soft cotton, so this should be a good bra if you have sensory issues or want something to sleep in. The wrap front allows for breastfeeding. It is machine washable (just keep it out of the dryer). It's full coverage, so it may not work under some low necklines, but the smooth cups disappear under even thin t-shirts. In short, it's a great everyday wireless bra that comes in a huge range of sizes.

Molke rates their fabric by level of firmness, and this one is a 3, which is the firmest. They say it can work as a sports bra. Not sure I'd run in it, but it's perfect for lower impact exercise like yoga, yard work, or hiking. The size is consistent with my other XS Super Molke bras - perfect for me at a 28 HH, and it handles size fluctuation with my periods just fine. I'm comfortable wearing this bra all day, and while I prefer to sleep without one, I could sleep in this one if I had to.

Did I mention it has space unicorns? The fabric is really, really pretty. Dark shades of purple, pink, and blue on a black background. It warms my geeky, bisexual heart. Really, I would be equally happy with just the space print minus the unicorns, since it's such a gorgeous pattern, but the unicorns add a whimsical touch that's a lot of fun.
