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.
