i've got a medium underworks 997 and it fits pretty prefectly. it's tight, as in i am conscious of the fact that it's squeezing me, but not uncomfortably so. only at my hips when it's tucked in for extended amount of time it starts i guess rolling up and when i slouch for a while and it bunches at my ribs. it's more comfortable than a sports bra. those always give me back aches the way they squeeze a ring around my ribs. so i guess.. kinda tight but get used to it?

i've got a small 997 underworks. it's a b***** to get on, and its super snug. but it only makes it difficult to breathe after like 13 hours. other than that it's actually really comfortable.

When I first get them I have to have someone help me put them on -- they are tight -- they leave red marks on me -- and do no matter how long I wear them.  But they have never interfered with my breathing - which I was worried about since I have asthma.  I have been to three different doctors wearing them -- all of them say that the binder isn't too tight as long as I can take a full breath in

I wear an XL tri-top, but I'm really big chested. It does the job and isn't too big or small. Sometimes I wear a L with that, but not too often.

I wear a large 997. The medium I originally bought ripped at the seam...I assume the medium is way too small for me. The large feels like a good fit but I think I'm in between sizes.

I have a bigger chest (34 c or something) and the small tri top works like a lil charm - was a little tight at first but it's stretched out a bit. no trouble breathing or anything! i suggest always round down

I just ordered a new small 988 tank binder, should come in the mail soon.  I may have to turn it back in for a medium, although my measurements suggested a small.  The binders I have now are so old and torn up from me experimenting on them, its really time for a new one. experimenting, meaning havinglayers cut off etc. I HATE binding, but it will be nice to have a brand new binder to get me super flat so i can wear tight shirts.

everyone has the 997, I dont know how you do that, isnt that just a whole binder, even over your stomach? no wonder so many people have trouble with binders rolling up, i stick with the relaxed midsection myself.

I've just ordered the one with the relaxed mid-section, in size Small. I hope it arrives soon, I wanna wear it when I go to school!

I used to wear a T-Kingdom model 1700, size Large, but... well... I advise others not to buy it. It didn't work well for me, and was uncomfortable.

Bra size 36Dish, I wear a medium underworks 983. I get out of breath very quickly in it when going uphill (sucks that I live at the bottom of one), but I can breath just fine. I'd like to be flatter, but I think an S would hurt. I'm a pussy.
