My point in saying
>No beard shadow would help, but not by much.
was more that the other problems were overshadowing (mild pun completely intended) your 5 o'clock shadow.
Your face, shape wise, could be way worse, but needs something (contouring) to be passable.
Even if the character in question is completely flat chested, not every woman who'd want to cosplay the character is. Even having A, borderline B cups and a obvious bra would help in passing quite a bit.
Pic related was a attempt I had made for figuring out the hip / waist issue, and I'd say it looks slightly better in person than the pictures show because of the angle I took them at and the wide angle lens. So yes, with foam pads and shapewear you can solve that as long as you proportion yourself right.

For the purposes of crossplaying at some point in the (probably far) future, I went and tried to see if I could get decent proportions with what I had on hand + some shapewear to smooth things out. And I have to say, for just a waist trainer, leggings (x2) and some scrap foam I think it did a decent job. 42" around the hip with the butt padding in, 40" without (and flat as a board.), 29" at the waist with the waist trainer on, 5'9".
(I can't pose for the life of me.)
