Crossplayers & Crossdressers Gathering

[bahamutknightzero]

raenef: That is going to be rather hard unless you really want to hurt (friend of mine with some rather large breasts went with compression shirts and ace tape, she complains about the pain). So unless there is some sort of miracle item, expect some pain.


Outside of that, if the rumors are true of Masq. being held on Saturday from a few clues I've seen around here, then I won't be able to make it to the gathering if the gathering is being held on Saturday (costume change times, time of gathering conflicts with Masq.)

Eh, I eat pain for breakfast XD

Nah...after an elizabethan corset, I think I'm fairly well used to pain XD
I'll try a compression shirt, do you know where to get one?

I myself don't know where to get one, but I'm sure some people here on these boards or in this topic know where to get one.

I have no idea WHERE to get a compression shirt. You might want to try at a transgender place for Female To Males. If anyone might know, I'm pretty sure THEY would.

Also maybe we could also hold an INFORMAL gathering on Sunday as well for those who might be doing the masquerade stuff...?

Perfect, I agreed to meet for my other cosplay on sunday, So I can come to the Crossplay Gathering on Saturday in my Kantarou Ichinomiya cosplay.
Please count me in, aswell as my sister (Rein Yagami) in her Haruka Crossplay. (She doesn't have an account here, but that's her badge name)

That could work, you would just need to give people a reminder or a heads up about it. We did an informal gathering type of thing for Capcom vs SNK cosplayers that didn't make it to the Friday gathering (We held the informal one on Sunday and got a few more people to arrive)

Well I think we should wait to see when they're having the costume contests and skits and such on Saturday, BEFORE we plan anything on Sunday.

Although I am VERY happy to hear that more people are deciding to join! <3

From what I'm seeing in other topics, it appears that Masq. is leaning towards being held on Saturday

...Costuming wise...not sure how to really consider it since as Soi Fong, I'll be wearing the Captain version AND the fighting version underneath (which is the standard for her). I don't really have a chest and knowing her fighting outfit is kind of revealing at the top at least. Not sure how to make that work exactly just yet...hmm...

Maybe you could get a skin-toned tank top or sports bra to wear underneath, if you are nervous about anything showing.  Or somewhere in another post someone mentioned some kind of tape (I think double-sided) specifically for holding edges of the fabric to the skin.  Not sure where you get that at, tho, maybe a theatrical store or specialty clothing store.

When I googled compression shirts, I got sports shops.  Maybe you could check at a local Sports Authority or something like that to see what kinds of shirts they have.  Looked like muscle shirts for men, but if you bought in the next size below you (better try it on first), it might hold you tight.  Otherwise (and I have seen this on smaller cupped cosplayers), wrap thin cloth around your chest, then have someone duct tape you over the cloth.  Tuck the extra cloth out of the way.

Well good luck with all the chest bindings!! I'm just more concerned with my voice personally. Not to mention the expenses of everything. It depends on whether or not I go to a friend's wedding and everything, not to mention I have to find and buy some SHOES to go with my dress. Unfortunate my size is like 12-13 women's in Narrow >.<

I'm waiting to see how much money I have AFTER DunDraCon, and AFTER I talk to my friend about her wedding. Then I'll get a better idea of how much money I'll have for costumes. HOPEFULLY I can get enough to get another outfit, but I'm a little doubtful. @.@

I'm crossplaying both of my costumes. Casshern from Casshern Sins & Suzaku Kururugi (Knight of Rounds) from Code Geass. So, I'll be one of those two during the Gathering. Can't say for sure which yet.

[Ayanami Rei First Child]

Well that's fine! Whichever costume you wear you are more then welcome to come along ^_^V
