I'm pretty new to all of this, and I don't really have anyone to talk to about any of it. I got my first binder today from a company (I think?) called Ancient Fish King, and I can't really tell if it's supposed to fit like this or not. It's strapless with adjustable hooks on the side, and it flattens me down for the most part, but it's really tight and the tops of my breasts still stick out a little. It's not too terribly noticeable under t-shirts, but it's still annoying. I'm just not sure if it's supposed to be like this, or maybe I got the wrong size.

I'm not familiar with that brand (never heard of it before), so I'm no expert by any means, but maybe it's because it's strapless that you've got issues at the top? I imagine having binding higher up would be beneficial for you, but since I don't know your situation or anything I don't know what to recommend you do for that.
Any binder you get will be tight. That's just how binding is sadly.

I ordered a binder and got it today. It's the Ancient Fish King brand as well, though mine has straps.
Mine was this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Tops-Breathable-Buckle-Short-Chest-Breast-Binder-Les-Lesbian-Tomboy-Hot-Sale-/281148555424?pt=UK_HealthBeauty_Other_RL&var=&hash=item4175c280a0
I'm guessing yours was: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Les-Lesbian-Tomboy-White-Black-Strapless-Slim-Fit-Chest-Binder-Tops-High-Quality-/310720532509?pt=UK_HealthBeauty_Other_RL&var=&hash=item485863101d ?
I guess what you have to do is either wear the binder a bit higher up, or squish your breasts downwards so as to make sure that it's all covered.
