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
-Closures will be on the left unless you leave a note in your other to let me know otherwise
Please allow 3-4 weeks for production (plus shipping time)

Custom Sizing
I encourage you to send your measurements for a customized fit. Please measure all that apply to your purchase IN INCHES and send in the "custom measurements" text box
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 a 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 ankle bone
Rise:
If you find you have shorter or taller than average torso, you may want to customize the rise. You don't need to leave a rise measurement if you want it to look like the photos, and most people tend not to customize the rise, as we have already calculated the best rise for the fit of each piece.
There are two ways to measure rise:
Lay a bottom flat. Measure vertically from the crotch to waistband while front and back waistbands are touching, to the desired rise
OR
Take the measuring tape through the legs, holding it where the waistband will sit in the back. Measure up the stomach to where the desired waistband will sit. Divide this by 2. See the fit videos above (please note that we don't tell you to divide this number by 2 in the video!)
Average Rise Measurements
Low rise- 7''-10''
Medium Rise- 11''-13''
High Rise- 14''-17''
Extra High Rise- 18''-30''

All bottoms can be made in a Transfemme fit, although this does not offer compression. In this case, the midsection is made wider than traditional cuts, allowing a soft and comfortable fit in any of our swim and underwear bottoms.
A compression liner can be added to non-reversible swimsuit by simply leaving us a note in the checkout. This offers light compression, or an additional layer when combined with a gaff worn underneath. Read more here
