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.

  Great review! What a success finding a wireless bra that does everything. It almost sounds too good to be true but looks like it is! Congrats! Also is this Unicorn Universe print?!? OMG I never thought of that combo but it's awesome! I totally want one too. :D

  alisa Right? When I bought it, I figured if it wasn't 100% great, I could always use it as a sleep bra, but it's a great everyday bra. It's the criss cross sling pattern, imo. More brands need to pick that up. And yes! Unicorn Universe print!

  bustyand does it distribute weight away from the straps? Does the back do enough support so most weight is not on straps? With wireless bras I have (Bravissimo ones) that is my main problem, just after like 2-3 hours there is just too much weight on straps. I love them to hang out in evening or to sleep but cannot wear any for full day wear.

  alisa For me it does! I haven't had that many wireless bras, but aside from this one, I've had the Cleo Lyzy (disaster, couldn't hold the weight of my boobs up, band rolling under); the Bravissimo Racerback Sleep Bra (straps not supportive, boobs held sweatily to my chest, band rolling under); and the Sugar Candy Seamless Everyday Bra (which is better and wouldn't be a complete disaster for me to wear around all day but I would prefer not to). This Molke is the best by far.

  Something I didn't mention in my review is that this bra is 95% cotton and 5% elastane, and I'm pretty sure the elastane is only on the fully black band part. So, I think, because so much of the band isn't stretchy it can do lots of lifting work without the help of the straps. I'd only be worried about them if you're significantly taller than me. I saw some reviews with people noting that the straps were too short for them and therefore hurt. It seems like this started with people who are around 5'7 or 5'8, but some of those reviews were a few years old. If you'd like to check out a review from someone closer to your size, you could check out Chloe from Fuller Bust Inspo on Instagram and YouTube--she wears a 32JJ/34J and has two Molkes in M Mega. Not sure how tall she is, though.

  bustyand From those you mentioned I only own Bravissimo Racerback Sleep bra. I like it for sleeping only so straps don't bother me too much but agree it just gives huge mono-boob pushed them together. I love a cotton bra! I found out in their calculator my size is:
  Your traditional UK size is 32 K.
  Your starting size in an Original Molke Bra would be...
  M Mega.
  Yes I know Chloe's Instagram and like to check out her posts as I am in similar size range than her. So I think the suggested size could work for me too but I'm am worried about my height. I'm 169cm, which translates to 5''6? Have to check out other reviews. I own Bravissimo bralettes Flora and Zara where I can just get away with straps (like 1-2 cm and they wouldn't work) and those bras also don't work for taller women. :S
