Title: First binder!
Post by: Zachary on April 15, 2011, 04:05:40 PM
I'm not quite sure what size I would be in a binder. I've done the measurements and worked out that I'm 31" chest, but the binder I'm going for (Style 997 at Underworks) goes from XS 29-31 to S 32-34. As I'm on the large side of the XS, should I go for a S? I'm afraid incase I go for the XS and it might be too small and I won't be able to breathe properly at all xD As I am on the bigger side of an XS. I've never bought a binder off Underworks (heck, at all even) and was wondering whether it might be too tight to go for an XS and whether I should go for a S.

What are your thoughts? XS or S?

(First post by the way :D Hey guys! I'm awful at explaining things so sorry if this seems silly).

XS. i believe i'm  32 " and the xs underworks binder was on the larger side for me, i would have liked it a little tighter.

I have the same model. I would say go for the xs, it will be tight but shouldn't be so tight that you can't breath. if you get it and find out it's to small or causes problems you can always call or e mail them to ask about exchanging it for the next size up. they are usually pretty good about that kind of thing

I'd say go for the XS, I've heard a lot of good things about their returns.
I'm at the very edge of large and both of mine fit absolutely fine, so I'm thinking you should most likely be okay.
