Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello. My name is James. I've been a part of this guild for about two years and have probably only posted three times, so that's why you're probably like "Whodafawkisdis?"

But anyway, I have a question about Underworks binders, specifically the 997 and the 983. About six months ago, my friend bought me a 997 in size XS. It was too big. Yes, that's right, the EXTRA SMALL was TOO BIG. gonk Now, what I'm wondering is, would the 983 fit better?

On the website, it says the 983 in XS is sizes 28-30, while the 997 is sizes 29-31... One size smaller, plus it has three layers instead of just two... I'm guessing it might be a little bit tighter, but probably not much.

So, for people who have bought both the 997 and 983, preferably both in size XS, is there much difference in the sizes of the two binders? Does the extra layer make it any tighter?

Thanks for reading, and super thanks if you can help me out. ninja

I'm not really sure about my measurements. I only know that the 997 was too big. It just fit me like a regular shirt. It wasn't huge, but it was large enough that it didn't do any binding.

Hmm... Okay. Well, let me attempt to measure... I don't have a tape measure thing, but I will estimate using my fingers I guess. xD


Right underneath is about 23 inches, widest part is about 27 inches. Average would be 25 then... So I'm guessing that means the 983 would still be too big. D:

The problem with that site is that it's "LGBT Pride items and accessories" and my friend's father is the one who has to buy them for me. He thinks they're for my brother for exercising. gonk

Also, I am about to turn 17 but I am the tiniest person I know. D:

I can't because my dad would have to buy it, and he'd have to know what he'd be buying it for, and then he'd have to check that I actually bought what I told him I was buying...

in other words, I tried to take that route before and failed miserably. gonk


Also, from looking at both that second site and T-Kingdom, it doesn't appear that the sizes get any smaller than 28 anyway... gonk gonk gonk

They still seem really expensive to me... not that I could get one from there anyway.


Anyway, thanks for your help... I don't know what I'm going to do... I wish I wasn't so tiny, or so young, but what can you do? Anyway, thanks for trying to help me out.
