Transform Transwear
Traditional fashion is cut for either a female or a male body shape. For many in the trans and gender diverse community, that means clothing that doesn’t fit AND doesn’t match who they are.
At Transform, we design every garment from scratch, from chest binders to packing underwear, to fit your body and help you feel comfortable, confident and like yourself. Visit our Melbourne store for a free chest binder fitting, or shop online with shipping across Australia. Don’t just take our word for it: read our five-star reviews from customers across Australia.
Most chest binders use rigid internal panels to flatten the chest. Those stiff panels can restrict your ribcage when you breathe, especially when you’re moving.
Every Transform chest binder is made without rigid panels. We use layered compression fabric instead, so you get a flat, effective bind that moves with your body and gives your ribcage more room to expand. Each binder is designed and tested in Australia to be comfortable to put on, wear and take off, whether you’re at work or at the gym. Heading for the pool? Our swim binders are made for the water.
Hartley’s no stranger to a long journey. His trip from she/her to he/him stopped at she/they, they/she, they/them, they/he and he/they along the way.
His parents have been harder to bring along. He’s come out to them again and again, and they’ve pretended it didn’t happen.
So Hartley stopped waiting for permission. He started testosterone, found a binder that fit, and began drawing every day. His art has tracked the change, from hollow figures with star-shaped voids in their chests to ones that are curious, playful and at ease.
“I think I could have grown a lot quicker if I had just kind of stepped back and found love in other areas.”
When thinking about wearing a chest binder, safety is the most important issue. One of the keys to safe binding is wearing a well designed chest binder that fits your body and isn't too tight.
We offer free chest binder fittings at our store in Melbourne - all you need to do is book in a time.
