I've got C-sized boobs and I want to crossplay a guy. Is there a way to make my boobs "disappear" or at least look smaller? Please share your techniques if you have them. Oh and don't worry, I can handle a day of uncomfortable boobs sweatdrop

A tight sports bra and lots of ace bandages. One will not work. Believe me, I've tried. My chest kept popping out at Megacon. But then again, I think I'm a little larger than you are.

I agree. Sports bra with a tightly rapped ace bandage does wonders. I have a D size breasts, and when I cosplayed Sora to Ikasucon, I did that and became quite literally completely flat chested. It was awesome. However, it was also quite painful by the end of the day gonk Still, I guess it was worth it because I actually got mistaken for a guy several times which was amazing to me, lol!

Tape is incredibly hard to get around one's self and is extremely painful to get off. I suggest a corset like thing. I'm cross playing Kazekage Gaara and have to crush my almost double DD sized chest into a very small costume with a tight, vest-like top that hides it quite well.

I use a similar ace-bandage and sports bra method. I'm a D cup and use a small (maybe it's even a girls size?) sports bra with ace bandage around that. I recommend using a wide ace bandage secured with safety pins. 3nodding The safety pins will ruin the ace bandage by putting loops in it, but if it's only going to be used for breast-binding don't worry about it. I safety pin mine to the bra to avoid slipping, as well as try to get as many of the layers as I can when securing it with the final pin. This should work fairly well. I've used it on stage when playing a young girl (who would obviously not habe large breasts) as well as male characters and it worked perfectly (I've also been mistaken for a guy on more than one occasion). pirate Good luck! Hope these comments helped! blaugh

If you want the best way to bind back your chest and still want the ability to breath.

it might be worth investing in this shirt. It really does work.

use some ace bandages but u be sure that you have breath

maybe 2 layers or 2 rounds of ace bandages . . . if your boobs stills looks large on the bandages try to use sports bra then 2 rounds of bandages

I can't get one. My mom looks through all my credit card receipts. And doesn't realize that I have some strange hobbies. She thinks Ed (FMA) is a girl. Not telling her otherwise.
Not that she has any reason to be concerned, I am going to Jacon on Friday as an insta-cosplay Roy Mustang's Girlfriend. (Should totally bring some mace so I'm not tortured and killed by fangirls).
And I may try the duct tape. Over an undershirt I have no problem cutting off of me when I need to get out. Long run, the compression shirt is cheaper, but short term, duct tape and $3 thrift store shirt will probably work.
And I'm a D as well. Explains some of my problems with this.

DO NOT USE DUCTAPE! It will hurt like hell when you peel it off. I saw an L Deatnote cosplayer at Anime Punch that tried that but it didn't help her much from the looks of it.

I suggest what everyone else is suggesting, sports bras and ace bandages. You can find cheap ones at Wal-Mart.
