Uhm... I already own a few binders, and when I measured myself, I wore a sports bra. But tbh, I don't know if I measure myself in the correct way. Due to years of binding, I'm very saggy (lol) and flat-ish, like my chest has no filling and therefore I'm not really sure how to measure. I'm about to order a gc2b, and they have different sizing than Underworks, and therefore I need to measure again :/
Help me guys XD
The best thing to do is to follow the instructions on their website (http://www.gc2b.co/#!sizing/c113j), and order the indicated size. If you're still not sure, they suggest sending them your measurements.

Thank you!
Yes, follow the instructions on the website. Each company is different, so a size XL on one site isn't the same as an XL on another site. And it is certainly not the same as an XL t-shirt.
My assumption was that the measuring was meant to be done without any type of bra. I have ordered and received a gc2b, and I measured without a bra, above the breasts, and careful to keep the measuring string/tape loose. And the binder I received is the correct size for me.
Every site is different and every manufacturer is different. I used t-kingdom and leslove as my two binder sites and each had very different measuring systems. I'm wasnt a small guy so I had to be very careful each time. If you aren't sure, you can contact the admins. If they don't get back to you, look elsewhere.
I just ordered my first binder from the same website. I just read the instructions and hope that i got it right lol I guess we will see when it arrives!
The directions on the GC2B site are kinda weird and I didn't really get it when I measured. Follow the instructions on whatever site. If the directions are confusing measure to the best of your ability and guess.
