A bra is just a bra, right? Wrong!

"It is not my goal to make expensive bras. It's my goal to make the BEST bras, that last the longest, and offer you so much support and comfort that you end up saving money on a physiotherapist!

What distinguishes marlies|dekkers from the rest? There are several reasons. For instance, did you know that the average bra takes about 12 minutes to make in a factory, while a typical marlies|dekkers bra takes at least an hour? Let me explain why, using my Signature Dame de Paris collection as an example."

1. no-poke underwires

The wires greatly affect your shape and comfort. That's why we created our very own wire a number of years back. Mass-produced brands use standard wires, made of cheaper materials. Be aware that those can break or poke through the fabric after a while (Ouch!).

2. Our signature molded cups

When people look at a bra, the first things they will notice are the fabric and the straps, but the cup is equally as important. Our molded cups have a nice bounce and aren't sweaty.

3. Firm wings

These are the side panels of the bra. Often overlooked, but very important in terms of support. Cheap materials will stretch and ruin the entire fit of the bra. We use a special, very firm fabric for our wings.

4. No-cutting shoulder straps

Here, we want firmness and again, great quality. Check out the width of the straps, especially if your girls are on the big side; you don't want them cutting in the flesh of your shoulders, do you?

"I only design 15 percent. The remaining 85 percent is the woman's body. Together they make up the design. By enhancing her features, I try to make her body look its best."
