Side-Open Half Binder

$80.00

Added to our popular half binder is a row of hook-and-eye closure along one side. This makes it possible to get it on and off without pulling it over the head.

This binder's short style hits just at the natural waist, and it offers medium to high compression. Take this top to the beach or pool, as it's perfectly made for a swim top as well.

-Inner layer of power mesh for extra compression
-Tip: The thickest fabrics for the most compression are Currant, Black, Chocolate, Stone Ribbed, Jungle and Kelp

-Closures will be on the left unless you leave a note in your other to let me know otherwise

Please allow 3-6 weeks for production (plus shipping time)

Custom Sizing

I encourage you to send your measurements for a customized fit. Only customers who have sent custom measurements are eligible for free alterations. Please measure all that apply to your purchase IN INCHES and send in the 'order notes' when you checkout

Girth: Measure from one shoulder, around the body vertically, through the legs and back to the same shoulder. Make sure you are standing tall. If your measuring tape is not long enough, you can use a piece of string and then measure that.

Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, with arms relaxed down at sides and without a bra. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor.

Ribs/Underbust: Around your ribcage where your bra band sits. Measure on the exhale.

Waist: Measure around natural waistline, which appears as a crease when bending to one side.

High Hip: Measure just over the hip bones, where you would wear a low rise bottom.

Low Hip: Measure around fullest part of the body including the butt with feet together. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor.

Thigh: Measure 3 inches down from the pubis around the leg circumference.

Inseam: Measure from inside crotch seam to the desired length.

Rise: You don't need to leave a rise measurement if you want it to look like the listing photos!

Lay a high waist item or bodysuit flat. Measure vertically from the crotch to waistband while front and back waistbands are touching, to the desired rise of your new piece.

Take the measuring tape through the legs, holding the end on the back where the waistband will sit. Measure up the stomach to where the desired waistband will sit. Divide this by 2.

Average Rise Measurements

Low rise- 8''-10''

Medium Rise- 11''-13''

High Rise- 14''-17''
