The Perfect Fit: Shake Your Bon Bons!

The Perfect Fit: Shake Your Bon Bons!

by Marlies Dekkers

When you try on a bra, you usually stand and watch yourself in a mirror, right? You might bend forward a little, turn around slowly to see the bra from different angles, but that’s it. You like how it looks? You buy it.

But have you ever realised, after wearing it for a few hours, that your brand new bra is not very comfortable at all? As a matter of fact, when you in the mirror again at the end of the day, it looks all wrong; you might have ‘side boobs’, your breasts may be spilling over the cups, or the back strap is riding up. You can check our last post for some typical #BRAFAILS.

Well, I developed a method to avoid ever wasting money like that again! With it, you can see how your bra will fit after hours of intensive wear, and you don’t even have to leave the dressing room.

 

Step 1: Choose your marlies|dekkers bra.

Step 2: Measure and Fit your bra. Put it on.

Step 3: Bend your upper body forward until your breasts fall into the cups.

Step 4: Hold the underwire firmly and position your breasts.

Step 5: Shake your breasts left, right, up and down to make sure that your breasts are positioned perfectly.

Step 6: Stand up and admire the result: FABULOUS!

We’ll see you back on Maison Marlies for the next post in our Perfect Fit series –  it covers the ‘Magic Mould’ we’ve created to ensure you won’t have any fit problems with our bras!

Building bridges

From the Erasmus Bridge and the Mercedes-Benz Museum to Qatar’s metro network; Ben van Berkel’s iconic landmarks bring people together in rapturous beauty, again and again. I talked with the Dutch architect and educator about sensuality, ‘healthy’ buildings and the remarkable parallels between our designs.

More than a feeling

by marlies|dekkers

Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

Keto curious?

The fact that I feel bikini-confident all year round is, of course, a nice bonus. But for me, the biggest payoff of following the keto diet is the way it optimizes my health and gives me tons of energy.

Super (skin) food

‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
