Hello, shapeshifters! Let’s talk about a Shapeshifters original: The Binding Dress.

Anonymous asked: I was wondering how much a custom fabric circle skirt binding dress would cost, approximately? Is it available? And would we be able to get a layer of lace over that? Could I have an estimated total cost?

Thanks for asking! We recently added custom fabric options for dresses: for a Spandex House circle skirt dress, $140; for Spoonflower, $210. There is also a lace overlay now included in Dress Add-Ons, for $40!

Anonymous asked: Hi hi! I am in LOVE with your binder dresses & want them to be pretty much ALL of my wardrobe; I just have a few questions before I order: 1) do you offer cosplay binder dresses? 2) can I order binder dresses in fabric (from spoonflower) other than what you have in stock? Thanks so much for such an amazing product & company!!!! 🙂

1) We totally could! As with all cosplay / applique products, we ask that you contact us with details and a reference picture for a quote.

2) Yes! As above. $185 for an A-line, $210 for a circle skirt.

Anonymous asked: is it possible to get a back zipper on a binding dress? Like, finishing at the waist or something?

Sure! Here’s that add-on link – that will be $35 extra.

Anonymous asked: Will the pencil binder dress compress the hips too? I got major hip dysphoria and I think that if so it would help. If not do you make anything for hip dysphoria?

Not as-is, it won’t. However, we could potentially put together something like a mermaid-cut dress: an extra-long binder with a very dropped-waist skirt. If that sounds interesting, contact us for a quote!

We don’t currently make compression shorts, though we may someday.

Anonymous asked: Is it possible to get the binder dress with the top and bottom as different fabrics?

Yes it is! If they’re both store fabrics, we can make this happen by request at no extra charge.

Anonymous asked: Omg a binder with a hood would be amazing! Have you ever done a pocket on a binder/think its possible?

I dunno, anon! Where would you put it? The tricky thing with pockets on skintight garments is that they will always make a lump.

That’s why we like to put them in skirts.

(Image: That same two-tone binder dress, it turns out, has pockets. Big pockets. Because everyone needs pockets.)

Addendum! An example of a binding dress with a lace overlay:
