my old binder was a constant hug and I miss it. unfortunately it was also a handsewn monstrosity of scrap denim and elastic panels and that means I have to go through all that again (including all the measuring and guesswork because guess who didn't take notes on the very experimental process). and all because [redacted just trust me that traditional binders don't work for me]

#maybe I'll feel more positive about the underworks binding sports bra once I've had a chance to lower my expectations #but shoutout to the handsewn denim monstrosity for getting me flatter more comfortably I guess??#if it were just a matter of it being slightly too small now OR the elastic wearing out I would just alter it. but alas.#I just looked it up and I first wore it out six years ago. it was a good day. it rained and I listened to folk music in a manorhouse.#yes I'm getting sentimental about a garment it's fine and normal #deep sigh I need to bite the bullet and resign myself to working on binder 2.0 #that or cough up enough to try trans tape but friends when I tell you I get rashes from ''sensitive'' plaster adhesive--#this has been whinging with falderal when I should be asleep. thank you for attending.#falderal speaks #tomorrow. I will raid my scrap fabric box and see what the supplies are tomorrow.
