An article of apparel (200) with a binding system includes a body (202) and a liner (222) with a binding band. The restraining strap slides through an opening in the shoulder strap of the body (202). The restraining strap then passes through a series of retainers at the rear of the main body (202). The restraining strap has a distally located tongue that can be pulled from the back of the body (202) towards the body (202) and attached to the front. The placement of the tongue determines the fit and support of the article of apparel (200) when pulled toward and attached to the front of the body (202). By manipulating the tongue of the restraint system, the wearer can adjust the length of the restraining strip, back and postural support and the lifting force provided by the pad (222). The binding system creates a customizable fit and support level.)
