crossdressing cosplayers!!!!

[iNSOMNiAC]

ahh yes...it was for a photoshoot for my speech and drama acting class

Ah, I see... Well at least you learned your lesson, right? xD

[emo_avenger]

i guess...the concept of weightloss might pull me into doing it again

i guess...the concept of weightloss might pull me into doing it again

There are better ways for that, though! xD Don't sweat yourself to death...

[Nightroad]

I agree, sweating yourself to death isn't the answer!!! Diet and exercise!!!!!!!

Though visiting saunas sounds wonderful, not to mention, healthy. D:

That's sweating from heat and... uh, not from your body dying from lack of oxygen. If you consider dieting, don't be the millions of people who are too lazy to maintain a healthy diet (not starve themselves) and exercise regularly. Most of the short-cuts people take are frighteningly unhealthy.

Back to cosplay, though. The bandages are a bit tight in the beginning, but because you're an A cup, it should only take a few minutes for you to get used to them. Though they do tightly bind around your chest, they do loosen slightly, according to your movements, and possibly stretch a teensy bit where you need it to, over time. This also means that you might need to readjust once in a while in the bathroom or something, but it's no big deal. What are you trying to cosplay?

[Nightroad]

Ok this going to sound a little odd, and its embarassing, but does anyone have any tips for binding cup sizes lager then a C??? If you do thats great!!! If not its no big deal I'll figure it out.

Ah, well that's a relief. After all, the slight problematic breathing wasn't too bad, so if it should get better later on, then I think I can definitely handle it. Thanks again.
I'm going to be cosplaying Wonderweiss (Bleach), Link, and possibly Yagami Raito if my friend needs me to.

All boys! :O

No problem, and good luck with your cosplay. Though, I'd advise you to use safety pins instead of the little hooks the bandages already come with. Sometimes they fall off, especially if you bend and the bandage contracts to your shape. Safety pins take a bit longer to apply and remove, but they're much more secure.

Ok this going to sound a little odd, and its embarassing, but does anyone have any tips for binding cup sizes lager then a C??? If you do thats great!!! If not its no big deal I'll figure it out.

I typed a little about it on a previous post.

I find it amazing that some people actually use duct tape... I've never done it, it sounds really painful to take off... >.< But apparently a lot of people do it, does it work well or something?

Duct tape does work well, but it's very stiff and uncomfortable. It works out aesthetically, though. IMO, the best alternative is to use sports bandages. They come in sizes for your chest, and they sell them at local drug stores. If you're an A to a small C, the bandages would do fine on its own. If any larger, than you can duct tape over it, rather than apply duct tape directly onto your skin.

They're less comfortable than the bandages alone, but very effective. I don't know of any more comfortable methods of binding for large chests, as this method is pretty tight when done properly. At first, I'd be uncomfortable to breathe. You'll eventually get used to it, but I think it'd be safer to head to your hotel room every couple of hours to unbind and rest for a bit.

Haha, yep, all boys this time! And my first time binding my chest for it, which is the reason why I wandered into this thread. =P

Ah, safety pins! I've heard that from my friend as well, she said almost the exact same thing you did. I'll be sure to bring some safety pins with me, then. =]

It seems like you know a lot about this kind of thing, I take it you've crossplayed before? =]

[emo_avenger]

aha. wow...i recently went shopping and found out am a c cup now...it totally sucks.....

im going on a healthy diet now and will never try out plastic wrap ever again......

i tryed out using a compression shirt today...works well although it didnt get me completely flat

Haha, many girls would envy you for that though... ^ ^;;

Yes, banish the plastic wrap. Don't torture yourself like that. xD

Ah, what is a compression shirt exactly? What's it made of? =<

[Jun-Watarase]

aha. wow...i recently went shopping and found out am a c cup now...it totally sucks.....

You're a C-cup. This is somehow a BAD thing? Tons of girls would envy you for your chest size! Especially us puny Asians. ;A;

It seems like you know a lot about this kind of thing, I take it you've crossplayed before? =]

I used to crossplay when I was flatter younger. Now, I'm not as into cosplaying as boys (though I will, occasionally) as my interests are now more within seinen tastes of anime/manga, which dominantly have more female characters, I tend to cosplay girls. :]

Agreed. D= Besides, a bigger chest brings up a lot of cosplay opportunities, considering how proportional many fictional (particularly anime/game) characters are.

...Plus, I don't think I'm (probably) ever growing out of an A-cup, so... You have something I'll probably never have. D=

Ah, I see. =] Well, I don't think I've been cosplaying long enough to have a history like that, but up until this year all my cosplays at Fanime have been pretty equal when it comes to the male/female ratio.

Oho~ We're the same age. I've been cosplaying since before and after puberty, so I've had that difference. Though, despite cosplaying for that long, I'm far from pro and my costumes aren't extremely impressive. Just enough to show my love for characters that I've done. When I was younger, I was more concentrated on shounen anime instead, so I crossplayed as boys more often. Not all anime characters have large breasts, though. Flat chested characters, now-a-days, are equally as popular.

Heh, didn't realize that until you pointed it out. ^_^ Yeah, I think I only started to cosplay in 05/06 (unless you count my Sailor Jupiter costume for Halloween when I was little... xD), before that I would just admire the people who had the time and dedication to put theirs together.

Now that you mention it, I do believe you're right; Konata immediately comes to mind... Although, she's younger I think, so... Nevermind... xD But I do see what you mean.
Forgive me if I'm not making much sense here; Its early and I haven't had my coffee yet... =//=

Konata is actually 17 in the beginning of the series, then 18. Technically, she's older than us. =P

But when I refer to the popularity of flat-chested characters, that was loli included.

Ehhh?? No way! xD I totally thought she was like, at the most 15 the whole time... Wow. What a trip. She could pass for a seven year old easily. xD

Yes having a bigger chest brings up female cosplay opportunities, but I prefer to cosplay as guys and it just complicates things...

I'm... not sure if there's a natural way to lose breast mass other than having breast-reduction surgery done. You could lose some by excersizing and losing weight, but I don't think it could change so significantly as from a D-cup to an A. The duct-tape over sports bandages should be totally fine. I mean, a lot of female crossplayers have large breasts and simply put up with the tightness of binding. You won't be crossplaying 24/7, hopefully.

[Nightroad]

AHHHH!!!!! SORRY!!!!!! My last message was misconstuied!!!!!! I meant I hope to be able to BIND my boobs down to an A!!! Sorry if I confused you!!!!
