I've been looking for binders and as I have found very few -- I'm wondering how well -- or If anyone knows of any REALLY good binders. My main problem is finding one that will actually flatten large chests ... cause I'll be honest -- I'm a double D. And I HATE it.... I've ALWAYS hated my breasts... the least I want is to bind them down to atleast a B or less....
HELP!! DDD::

Maybe this will help. I'm a 34DD. First me in a regular underwire bra, then in a 997 underworks.
I don't have a side pic, but they're pretty flat. If I had mega arms they'd probably pass as pecs. I could pass the chest if I wanted to do another shirt over top.

It's about $30 plus 6-7ish for shipping and you can use the code under10 for 10% off. They have a nice tri-top too, look at that one. Take good measurements and don't round down. Better to have a bit of moob than cracked ribs. Plus, sizing down is going to give you underarm boobs IME. I'm 140 lbs, 5'5 and wear a medium in the 997. Hope that helps :)

Well... I'm heavier and yet still 5'5 --- Actually XDD -- 5' 5.5" --- But yes -- and I believe I'm a little wider. I'll measure or check my most comfortable bra and maybe shoot for an inch or two higher.
Thank you SO, SOOO~ much! This is definitely better than the $60-$80 binder from t-kingdom.
How does the 997 feel exactly?

Material wise it feels like some sort of weird outdoor tarp or chair cushion material. I don't love the stomach compression; it makes it hard to eat and literally compresses enough that I have to wear my belt tighter. I think I'm going to get one of the tri-tops next, I just need to decide if I want a medium or large. If you're a little bigger than me, seriously consider a large tri-top :)

Thank you so much Dea~ My mum is now willing to look at the 997 for me~ <3 THANK YOU!!! I most certainly will look, although I'm fine with slight stomach compression. *have to loose weight and diet before going on T AND to begin training for Police Academy*
