would you say this is a good idea to do with a commercial binder rather than a sports bra? i thought of adding bones to a spectrum outfitters binder particularly since its longer than a sports bra and has a stiff front and stretchable back, but maybe that'd be too much pressure?
Great question! Has anybody tried this?
@star-anise note: I know that when I started this project, just adding bones to a sports bra didn’t work--they spread out as far apart as the sports bra itself did and it just looked weird. It was adding the elastic strips that provided more compression. It’s my experience with corsetry, too, that bones don’t contribute to the “squeeze” of the garment so much as make it sit more comfortably without wrinkling or grabbing. So it seems to me that adding bones wouldn’t contribute to the compression, but might make the binder sit more smoothly and comfortably.
