This compression top is handmade in Los Angeles with a very soft 70% nylon, 30% spandex compression knit with antimicrobial and moisture management treatments. It was very carefully designed to have strong seams, clean finishes, and no rough areas or tags to scratch or irritate the skin. The two layers of fabric in the front work to compress the chest without making it hard to breathe. The nylon coil zipper and dressing hook in the front makes dressing and undressing much easier!
Not all brands use the same sizing, so please check our size chart above. The 3/4 length silhouette is for people with quite a lot of or low-set breast tissue, providing more coverage than our half-length binders. If you do not need the extra length, this style may roll up around your waist, so you would want to consider getting the half-length Zip Binder instead.
LIGHTWEIGHT VERSION EXPLANATION:
We were having trouble getting enough fabric from our local supplier due to the pandemic, and we wanted to offer more colors, so we ordered some fabric from another supplier. In addition to the color coming out slightly different than expected, this fabric was also a bit lighter weight and stretchier than our primary fabric, more like the swim fabric we use for the Active Top and Tucking Bikini. Since this does affect the fit and feel of the binder, we have decided to label items made with this fabric as "Lightweight." These may feel looser, especially in larger sizes due to the stretch, so we recommend sizing down to account for this if purchasing the lightweight version. Compression tops with more stretch are better for swim and excercise, though we don't recommend swimming in the white color, especially not in a chlorinated pool. The lighter-weight fabric will be more breathable, but is also thinner. They are also a great option for post-op compression in this area, or for anyone who is looking for compression similar to that of the Active Top but with this longer silhouette and a zipper.

Fit
Please see our official size chart using the button above. There is also a chart based on bra cup sizes in the last photo, but this may not be as accurate as using your confirmed individual measurements.
While the "regular" half-length Zip Binder (sizes XXS-6X) uses a 10" zipper, this style is longer, featuring a 12" zipper in sizes XS-XL and a 14" zipper for sizes 2X-6X. This style and the "Zip Plus Compression Top" have now been combined into one style covering the full size range. We have denoted these as "3/4 Length" to minimize confusion about the sizing, as the half-length style also comes in plus sizes, but this one is longer to provide more coverage for those who need it. Those who do not have heavy-set chests may find that the extra length is excessive and may roll. The construction is very similar between this style and the "regular" fit, with the same amount of compression, but the neckline on this one is also a little higher and less square than our regular "Zip Binder." Additionally, this style has dressing hooks to help with zipping it closed.
Our soft binders offer comfortable compression designed to prevent back pain, difficulty breathing, chafing, sensory issues, and binder-related anxiety in addition to using fabric treated with antimicrobial and wicking finishes. Styles like this one, called "compression tops" in their titles - though they use the same fabric as our soft binders - probably won't get the wearer entirely flat due to the shape or body type they are designed for, so please keep realistic expectations.
