SELECTING YOUR SIZE

Flexibility’ in sizing

Our DE Sportief Bra has been designed to offer the lady horse rider several choices, in terms of breast support - if you would like normal breast compression effects, e.g. holding your boobs in place tightly, we recommend an exact size fit comparison to the size chart provided on our website. However, if you are seeking further compression, you could step down one size further if required.

For more of a shaping, encapsulation effect with less compression, you could go up a size, for more of a ‘comfort’, looser fit. Our product is so unrestrictive under the bust that this flexibility in sizing is ‘built in’. Our size charts are presented as a size guide, not a definitive size comparison.

The reason we have this flexibility in sizing is because of the design of the bra. For example, the material and structure in the cupping system seam is designed to lift, separate, shape, and support the breasts. (Breast pain has been reportedly experienced by over 70% of women during exercise (Gehlsen & Albohm) - just one reason why we chose to create a product with no underwire, to help avoid rubbing and chaffing.) A further benefit of our unique design is that if you have a large cup size and a smaller ‘back’ size, you should still be able to ‘go down’ a size in order to find a suitable garment, due to the ‘giving’ nature of the comfortable bust band. It sits lower than most sports bras and also gives important thoracic, core support. Our Torso Jacquard gives a wide range of sizing flexibility, combined with exceptional comfort and luxury finish. You won’t want to take this bra off!
