Title: Shirt bunching

I've noticed that when I bind that my shirts will bunch up over my chest, like ride up and sort of sit on top of those two annoying humps there? Does anyone have any advice on how to stop that or is it just me that has that problem? I mean, it looks totally weird, that a flat chest would have a shirt bunching over the chest. Men's shirt hang off of them flatly...it's irritating to me cause I am always having to pull it down all the time from bunching up...

I used to get that problem but I started wearing two binders; one full body and one for just the chest. Also I moved the moobs so they were down towards my stomach. I don't know if you've tried something similar but it works for me.

When I put my binder on I lie on my back to flatten things out, never had any shirt bunching but maybe you could try a top over your binder like a smooth surfaced sports shirt or something?

Quote from: Hurtfulsplash on August 21, 2010, 03:15:59 AMI do both these things. I lie on my back when putting my binder on, then I put a beater over it then a t-shirt and usually a button down will go on top of that.

Thanks for the advice guys...never thought of two binders since I live in a hot area but will try that when I get to Chicago and know I won't die of a heat stroke hehe

I ended up getting one of the T-shirt binders from underworks and since I live in 100*degree weather all summer I cut the cotton parts off off the t-shirt and the sleeves so it looks a little like the 997 but it's not as tight. Now I wear it with the tri-top over it which makes me flatter. I hate wearing both but I had the same bunching problem.
