Description I made a very ghetto chest binder this weekend. It took about 10 minutes. So hopefully you will enjoy it~
This was my first tutorial, so hopefully I can give back to the community that has helped me so much~
Author's notes
I got my elastic at the Downtown Los Angeles Fashion District. Other than that, I'm not really sure where to get it...
I am a cup size C. I have no idea how this will work for others.
If at any point you feel faint, or your chest is numb to the touch, immediately take off the binder.
have fun and be creative with it

thank you so much for this tutorial!
But would my mother get suspicious if I asked her to sew the hook and eye track??

You could just say it is for a waist belt or waistband for a skirt or something. For a while, plain elastic waist belts were in vouge.

This is like, one step up from using ACE bandages. Buy a binder or wear a sports bra. Please.

it is the same as wearing a binder, just different material, this is definitely much safer than ace bandages

do you think this will work with a zip instead of hook and eye?

brechdaslicht In reply to Kuuron [2017-02-28 18:34:39 +0000 UTC]

Hey, I'm not the OP but here are my thoughts:
Seeing as the resulting garment is supposed to be very compressing, I think it would be very hard to zip unless somebody else is going to be holding it shut for you while you zip it or vice versa. I think it would work if you have small breasts though. 
I know it's been over a year, so did you actually try making this? If so, how did it go?

whocouldknow-me [2014-07-28 20:15:37 +0000 UTC]

okay so I have 34 DDD breasts and actual binders are expensive and a little intimidating so i ended up using this to test and they arent flat but given the right shirt i can pass for a guy. I thank you SOOOO much for this!!!

SoccerStrider01 [2014-07-13 04:01:21 +0000 UTC]

Um how hot does it generally get under the binder. Is it highly uncomfortable, and how long would it maybe take to get used to the compression? Would it be even possible to exorcise in one?

TheDogsSpider [2014-01-16 15:16:50 +0000 UTC]

this looks very promising. now my bust size is like around a C and D. will I still have a slight bumb having a bigger bust? also from your own opinion does it bother you at all while wearing it? I mean obviously its going to be a bit odd the first time you wear it but hey its cosplay. thank you for this tutorial by the way~ ^^

ninjagal6 In reply to TheDogsSpider [2014-01-29 06:11:52 +0000 UTC]

yeah you'll have a little bump but it will be mostly smooth and it isnt too uncomfortable because it will stretch as you breathe.

akaCaitlinne [2013-11-08 16:19:45 +0000 UTC]

Is elastic really safe? I mean, ace bandages restrict the breathing because they're elastic, so... does your binder keep you from breathing deeply? Or is it okay? I want to make one and I don't know what material to use.

Otherwise, thanks! Great tutorial!

ninjagal6 In reply to akaCaitlinne [2013-11-08 17:44:46 +0000 UTC]

Elastic stretches more than ace bandages and it only requires one layer as opposed to ace bandages so you should be fine.

Just in case anyone stumbles past this comment thread again despite its age, ACE bandages are not dangerous because they are elastic. ACE bandages are dangerous because they tighten each time they stretch, and therefore are not breathable. (Each time your chest expands and contracts, the binding will constrict tighter and tighter.)

Erion06 [2013-09-28 06:44:35 +0000 UTC]

what type is the fabric? And the width.. is it still the measurement of the bust line? or the measurement of the below bust line?

ninjagal6 In reply to Erion06 [2013-09-28 17:58:24 +0000 UTC]

its very wide elastic like you might find in the cuffs of your sweatpants. the wider the better. 

Used your underbust line.

I think I'll try this. I can't seem to wear my tri-top without problems anymore, so I'm trying to find alternatives.

[I'm a 36B, if you have any suggestions. I'm severely asthmatic, so you can see how binding can be problematic.

binders are generally used to reduce bust size and appearance so that a female-bodied person can pass as/appear to be male-bodied, often for cosplay/costume purposes or because they identify as male/wish to pass as male

Uh, not sure about this type of binder, but as a trans man, I can tell you that binding generally does hurt a little after a few hours.

I'm not sure if anyone asked this yet but would it work with like a sports bra underneath it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Iamee In reply to misamisa123456 [2013-09-03 03:02:41 +0000 UTC]

probably, unless it's padded. if it is padded then it might make it a bit more uncomfortable and give less breathing room but a non-padded sports bra is probs thin enough to put under. it's always advised to wear a thin tank or sport/training bra underneath because a binder can slip down or get hot and sweaty without one.
