OP:
The original thread subject was "Crossplay/Crossdress #15: I got reprimanded for posting my boss' crossplay at an ACG convention on an anonymous question-and-answer website edition" but upon posting I got "Error: Field too long." so I trimmed the subject.

I would love any brand/seller recommendations for breast plates. Ideally plates with D or larger cup size.

>>10239810
like this?

>>10239810
You don't actually want cups with your breastplate, despite what you've seen in video games. The uneven surface makes it more likely for a sword or other weapon to catch on to the armor and break through. You're far better off with a flat or angled plate, like what you find after the introduction of gunpowder weapons.

>>10239817
????
Are you retarded? They're asking about fake prosthetic tits

>>10239810
To give an actual answer, I can't personally recommend any as I've yet to buy one, but I did look into what's likely the best available atm, and after looking through plenty available on aliexpress, the ones I settled on eventually getting was one of Roanyer's breast plates, specifically the G cup long torso ones (pic related). Most of the other ones I found weren't as nicely detailed (namely with the collarbone area, but also a lot of the more subtle details with other companies breast plates kinda gloss over), and from all the video (which these people were the only ones that actually had a decent amount of footage of them in motion) look like they jiggle and deform as realistically as I could ask for. Would like to know how well they shift to the sides when laying down though.
The end goal size wise was "As big as I can go, without going to absolute absurd territory." Which given I'm 175cm and far less twinky than the people they have model them, I was originally gonna shoot for the H cup ones (the largest Roanyer make), but after shifting through the customer review photos, it seems even for the larger and chunky owners of them they were beyond the absurd point.
As an aside, get the silicon filled ones, do not screw around with cotton filled ones, cotton filled universally looks like shit and do not deform like real boobs at all, if all the customer photos (who all universally seem to go for the cheaper option) are anything to go by.

Thanks for the laugh at work anon.

>>10239829
Thank you for the information! I'm 5'4, so I need to figure out how large I want my chest to be proportionally. I was originally aiming for at least D, but now I worry that may be too small to be noticeable if I wear it under more clothing. Is there any reason why you opted for the long chest instead of the short chest? The only thing that comes to mind is that so the transition between the rib-cage area and your midriff is seamless if you wanted to show more skin.

>>10239987
>so the transition between the rib-cage area and your midriff is seamless
That's exactly the reason, on top of making it possible to even have a midriff with all the shapewear underneath, plus it being a elastic material makes it help with keeping my lower torso taught. Though, this is more for the ability to have it, as most of my intentions are non-human cosplay anyway, than because I never want clothing on my stomach while crossplaying ever again.
>I was originally aiming for at least D, but now I worry that may be too small to be noticeable if I wear it under more clothing.
Depending on what look you're going for, and how tight or loose the clothing is you're intending to wear, D might be perfectly fine. The two things you've gotta take int account is, while normie perception might be "D is huge", it really isn't. It's not tiny yes, but it's frankly just below what I'd consider to be "big".
And even with being close to average woman height than I ever could, you have to take into consideration that unless you have the wildly undersized-for-a-male ribcage to match, smaller sizes aren't going to look as nice on larger rib cages, hence part of the reason why I was shooting so large. I don't know what your underbust measure is, but if it's anything like my ~36", do keep the possibility of going bigger in mind.

>>10239989
The last question I have is what skin color is the image you posted? I'm on their product page, and neither of the colors within reasonable range of my skin tone (natural and ivory respectively in the image) seem to match it. I want to say that's the natural skin color option, but I feel like my eyes are fucking with me.
http://www.roanyer.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=87

>>10240006
My screen's absolutely useless for accurate color reproduction, and given the wildly different lighting conditions they were probably taken, it's gonna be impossible to absolutely tell. Generally for if/when you get a breast plate, either get whatever seems the closest (lighter if you're genuinely lighter or darker if you look more tan) or if getting it down pat is absolutely paramount, see if they'll send color samples.

What characters could I cosplay to pull off something like pic related? I would prefer to cover my face to remain anonymous so I'm thinking masks and helmets would be my go to.

>>10240077

>>10240077
You could be a power ranger, then you and that freaky power ranger fucker can get together

>>10240077
Read High-Rise Invasion and pick any female character

>>10240089
nyart but rly good manga and a wide variety of girls as well, ive contemplated cosplaying as the police hottie myself

where can i buy cat keyhole lingerie that isnt garbage?

I need a mask to hide my handsome manly face

Where the fuck do I find a decent sailor suit online? Every site I come across is selling sketchy chinese bootlegs and I don't trust them not to leak my credit card number.

>>10241052
Just buy the original from Nonori.

How do i achieve a femenine body?

How important is contouring and highlighting? I tried like a general foudation base and looked like more of a man than I did before. Am I just fucked?

>>10241492
Contouring is bad, its drag queen makeup that kim kardashian clones use

>>10241538
Are you memeing?
Or are you retarded?

That feel when trap body but rather manly face.

>>10241943
Just wear a mask.

how do i walk with high heels?
how to choose femenine shoes for men?

>>10241482
Don't eat pork, beef and red meat. Eat a lot of green vegetables and onions.

>>10242051
Don’t do it. I twisted my ankle and it is not worth the pain. You will be tall enough. But if you must, try getting thicker/longer supportive heal boots or heals that aren’t that tall.

>>10242051
>>10242109
I would choose cute flat girly shoes.

I too would like an answer for >>10236597 from the last thread.
Pic incase it expires.

>>10242115
NTAYRT, though someone like 2B + flats = ???

>>10242830
>Can I slim down X? Can I reduce only this spot on my body?
You can't reduce only a specific spot on your body. You can reduce your total bodyfat percentage by eating less and moving more.

>If I work out won't I get larger?
If you work out you'll build muscle yes. If you work out you'll also burn calories and fat. It all boils down to how you work out and what you eat.

You don't instantaneously gain mass and look like Arnold after a few sessions at the gym. Bodybuilders do heavy strength training, eat a fuckton to fuel the muscle growth, and consume their bodyweight in protein.

If you're looking to be more lithe then just run/bike/swim/do cardio while eating on a calorie deficit (Eat less, move more). Stretch after every work out and eventually you'll start losing all around fat.
I suggest actually doing leg / lower body workouts because unless you're purposely starving yourself you can keep more muscle mass there.

>But wouldn't those muscles ruin the look?
You wanted a feminine silhouette. Pad the torso, slim down your total body fat, work on your legs. That should give a non-rectangular body shape. Cover the muscle definitions with skin-tone tights so they look smoother/flatter.

tldr: read the fucking sticky on fit

Also any guide of how to choose femenine shoes for men?

>>10242051

I have done crossdressing for a few years and never had any problems with heels. Never twisted an ankle or anything. The lower and wider the heels the easier they are to walk in. My favorite shoes for crossdressing are 5 cm high with a wide heel and they are super easy to walk around in. Make sure you give yourself some time to get used to it before going out though.

I think a little bit of heel is great for giving you a more feminine posture. It helps you avoid standing around like a dude in a dress if you get what i mean. Also the skewed leg to torso ratio helps you look more feminine. Personally i am more than tall enough by nature but i wear heels for the silhouette, posture and high fem look. Just get whatever that will suit the look you are going for. And keep in mind that thin super high heels are terrible to walk in even for girls.

How to make breast look realistic whitout a silicone breasts?
I usually just use sister bra with a t shirt inside it doesnt look bad but i wsnt something better

For hiding facial hair shadow, the last thread mentioned using "combination of color correcting with a thick foundation on top." Does this mean getting a color correcting thick foundation(is this even a thing) or what?

>>10245642
Well I'm trying color correction concealer then applying foundation over it. I'll tell you how it works tomorrow.

>>10245665
what are you using for products? from drugstore brand or actual brands

>>10245665

keep in mind that doesnt always work 100%, ive been lasering the fuck outa my face and it still kinda subtly shows in bad lighting

>>10241448
>On break
Bummer, I wondet if ezcosplay is a good alternative

>>10241197
ive heard bodyline has some decent ones
havent tried any myself tho

>>10247028
Depends on the individual item. Some are decent, some are shit. I've heard though that individual items from there are usually better than their full sets.

>>10245599
duct tape
you simply push your breast fat together and fix them with a few lines of strong tape. Then you can put on a bra and stuff it with socks or something but be sure to push your breast fat up. it isnt easy on the first try and tape can hurt like hell if you remove it but there are some decent tutorials on youtube. The thing that will boost your cleveage: a corset. pic related my first small success

>>10245599
>>10247469
What I forgot to mention: you can use make up to enhance your cleveage by accenting around the 'boobs' but Ive never tried that, in pic related its all tape and corset

>>10247469
You might be able to use gaffers tape instead of duct tape. Would hurt less, be more comfortable, cause less irritation, and won't leave any glue residue.

It used to be mainly for utility for people in the media production industries, but women started using it as a bra after Kim Kardashian made a tweet about it. Turns out it's perfect for that purpose as well.

Honestly, gaffers tape is good for pretty much anything. I'd say it's better than duct tape in most cases. Only drawback is that duct tape is basically water-proof, while gaffers tape is not water-proof at all.

>>10247517
so when you wear it all day on a convention it might loosen your cleavage? Damn then I rather use the other tape. cannot say anything about the long lasting effect of duct tape because I never dared to crossplay anywhere ;(

>>10247660
I don't think so. I mean if girls can use it instead of a bra, and have it last all day, I'm assuming it would work for this too.

Only one way to find out though.

>>10247827
thanks for the tipp!

How do I find nice guys to hook up with at cons? I’m a young crossplayer/femboy andi usually get some attention from guys at cons but how do I turn that into something more... my next con is daisho and I wanna get it ahahh..

>>10246343
>>10246727
in the blinding light of my bathroom lights the results were positive with the orange color corrector I bought off of amazon under liquid foundation.

Is it only considered crossplay if you make a genuine effort to pass as a character of the opposite gender?
Was looking to cosplay as a 2hu character but I don't really mind looking manly while doing it.

>>10248849
If you look like a bodybuilder just cosplay without shaving your beard or body hair for the hilarious effect

>>10248849
If you don't look cute you're not crossplaying right.

People who go as DDLC characters but have hairy legs and a beard are not crossplaying, they're joke cosplaying.

>>10240077
that character from durarara

>>10248891
It's going to be a pretty concealing outfit, so the effect won't be that drastic.
>>10249027
cosplaying as a ddlc character doesn't seem that interesting

>>10249106
Of course it isn't interesting, I was just giving an example of what isn't really crossplay.

>>10248849
You dont have to pass as a girl(99.9% wont, even the trannies) but you do have to look cute in general

>>10249107
I see, what I mostly wanted to know if my plans would be appropriate for this thread or if it just counted as cosplay in general.
>>10249123
damn

>tfw want to cosplay my waifu but I'm fat

>>10249414
Do it anyway.

>>10249414
Lose weight you fucker, if you want to do your waifu proud you have to work for it.

Question for the lurking male lolitas: where do you get your wigs when you don't have a small head?

>>10249414
Just don't eat too much trash food!
Do some body exercise and eat healty foods like fruits.

Not eating literally means doing nothing. You can do it.

>>10249690
I dont like wigs.

But my natural hair is perfect, so idc.

>>10249690
I get them from random stores on Taobao and add extensions to the wig band.

How do I hide my shaved beard?

>>10252413
Orange color correction under your foundation

Does it count as crossplay if the character is genderless?
Asking for a friend

I've never cross dressed before so I'm super in-experienced in this. If Im buying a premade cosplay and its asking for size charts do I go ahead and choose my gender as male? I dont want it to look weird, I have a small figure so Im not sure if I should just choose female sizes instead.

>>10252413
Wig cap.

>>10252730
There's no hard and fast rule for what is or isn't crossplay. If the character has feminine traits and you're a man you'll probably find crossplay techniques and resources useful, but there's no jury waiting to vote on whether or not you're truly crossplaying. The HnK gems are technically genderless, but most of them present in a feminine way, so if you're a man you'll likely find advice for crossplay useful.

>>10253004
Thanks senpai my friend will be happy to hear that

>>10239756
Do you have any character Ideas for beginners, meaning characters that are easy to crossplay with 'normal' clothing and on a low budget.
I was thinking about trying Shank from Ralph breaks the internet.

tfw no qt bf

>>10255572
>tfw no gf/bf

It's be nice to have some more ftm crossplay stuff in the spreadsheet

>>10255574
where you at anon

tfw no gf (bf)

>>10252730
It counts as crossplay whether a man or woman cosplays a gem. Look at them. They're designed with an intentional duality to them. Male and female in one. Booty shorts on the bottom, a vest and tie up top. If you're a boy or a girl, it'll be halfcrossplay, half not. Which half is all that differs. Biggest pet peeve is when girls cosplay gems without binding their chests.
That said, you'll need makeup skills whoever you are. Makeup will make or break a gem cosplay. The wig will look like shit no matter what you do.

>>10254376
Misty from Pokemon.

I got banned a big lolita fashion group.

Why are pretty women so mean to men when they want to wear Gothic Lolita?

>>10255817
probably because youre ugly and/or old

>>10255817
Lolita groups usually don't give a fuck if you're a guy as long you show a serious interest in wearing the fashion while being atleast a half-decent human being.
Maybe you creeped them out somehow?

Or you joined a group that expects you to atleast own a full coord or have basic knowledge on the fashion and you showed you don't know anything.

>>10255817
lots of creeps/agps, women have plenty of reason to be overly cautious

>>10255817
>>10256030
if he got banned its safe to assume he is one
>>10255984
>Or you joined a group that expects you to atleast own a full coord or have basic knowledge on the fashion and you showed you don't know anything.
they would kick him out or ask him to leave rather than ban him, if that was the case

these people give such a bad rep to crossplayers and brolitas i hate them so much omg

Is it dumb I wanna trap just so I can find a trap or qt bf

>tfw i get mistaken for an actual dude in cosplay photos but irl my high voice and stature gives me away

>>10255843
Good looking and old is ok?

>>10257255
depends on how old
and depends on how you look
you can be good looking in more than one way
in 95% of cases no, its not ok

anyone going to anime nyc?

>>10255711
uh thats a nice suggestion, thanks anon

>>10257478
I am going, not sure as who yet

>>10257923
go as my gf (bf)

>>10258256
Sorry man, even with the make up, wigs and clothing I am really masculine, I am here for tips and advice. Unless if I really cover up everything it's pretty obvious that I am a guy in a dress

I'm actually planning on crossplaying as Saber Alter from Fate GO. About the only hiccup I'm having is with makeup. I know nothing about it and I don't know where to start.

Anyone know of some shaper shorts for men or ftms designed to reduce butt/thighs? I'm female and cosplay male characters and I tend to store my fat in my thighs and butt (working on losing weight but my pelvis is also kinda wide). All the shaper shorts I find don't really have compression on the legs and only seen to have stomach control which I don't need because my stomach is already flat and reducing my waist further would just emphasize my hips. I also heard the underworks shorts are shit so I haven't gone for those

>>10252730
>genderless
no such thing

>>10258522
Why don't you ask your mom about makeup?

>>10258522
>>10259015
Or watch some youtube tutorials and practice

>>10252446
Also, do I even cut pubic hair from my legs when I want to wear thighs?

>>10259345
anon if your costume is that revealing i think you should just do what drag queens do and wear several layers of dance tights

>>10255817
You should learn to wear the fashion, and avoid joining a comm. Men should not join the comms as full members. There is always some kind of drama.

>>10259374
yeah, and with this you can hide any shaping foam for your behind and legs to wear a onepiece swimsuit or the like. But beware it might get really hot when worn on cons

>>10239817

first time poster in this thread. Are you saying you can't wear cupped armor over fake breasts? Because I was seriously going to try and do that.

>>10239824
>>10260735

Goddammit, I didn't read the rest of the thread.

Is there a certain way to wear a dancer’s belt? I put one on and it still looks like there is a bit of a bulge.

>>10260914
i feel like it requires adjustment on your part as well, but it's not gonna just completely hide it

>>10260914
assuming you're a man cosplaying a female character, you shouldn't be wearing a dance belt, you should be tucking. a dance belt is meant to create a fairly male shape, like a Ken doll

>>10260914
>>10260936
yep.tucking is the way. Either you can order a so called gaff (google it) or make your own gaff by using a pantyhose waistband and an old sock (search youtube for diy gaff). In order to hide your junk you need to push it behind your ass cheeks and secure it with the gaff. Pro drag queens are even using tape, but I think it would be very painful and even more uncomfortable.

>>10249802
Just stop eating, literally.

Go as long as you can without eating, then re-feed with meat and a small amount of veggies.

>>10261368

I'm trying to lose weight myself but wouldn't doing all of that just fuck you up in the long run?

>>10261368
telling people to starve themselves is never good advice

>>10261820
What kind of stupid ass advice is >>10261368 giving?

How about put down carbs and fat, or reduce calories by X?

"Literally stop eating".

Dumbfuck.

Are jockstraps and compression underwear worth it over a gaff? I'm planning a crossplay wearing shorts and I am already considering getting a jockstrap or compression underwear and wouldn't want to waste money on a limited use item if either can get the job done.

>>10248740
>>10245642
I recommend a colour correcting palette with the shade of orange in it. A lot of drag queens use this to cover their 5'oclock shadow and to cover their eyebrows. I have very thick eyebrows and my full coverage foundation does not remove my eyebrows no matter how many layers of it i put down. But i use the NYX Concealer Jar in Orange on my eyebrows after gluing them down and before foundation and it works really well at hiding my eyebrows.
I reccomend

Good palette if you have different skin tones and also covering other dark areas such as under your eyes bit $$$ tho

>>10262991
Another tip! Watch drag queen tutorials! They help you understand makeup more.

The currency options are at the top left of the page.

I'm new to this Cosplay stuff and I'm thinking of going as Chen (or cirno if Chen is too expensive) for Halloween. I heard about going to AliExpress but was wondering if you guys have any recommendations or suggestions. I'm 5'8" and lean if that matters.

>>10239817
I feel like I've done this but in a different context

>>10241943
I'm a literal girl, with a uterus and everything, and what you said is my existence. Small cute body, flat chest, masculine face.

If people will willingly view me as female, surely they will you

>>10242051
do you have excessively high arches? Check by standing on one foot, and seeing if a huge portion of that foot still doesn't touch a flat floor. If your arches are super high, there is no heel that will be easy to walk in. Heels are designed to be comfortable/useable for fairly flat feet. If your arches are mega high, and do not compress/flatten at all when you stand with your full body weight on one foot, you'll always be seesawing between the ball of your foot and the heel, with zero weight transference through the arch. It is painful, and if you do it often enough, may actually cause bone spurs.

>>10242051
>>10265377
also, I'm not saying this to be a mean hater all like 'boys can't wear my shoes'. I just don't want you to go through the agony and juvenile-onset arthritis that I have.

People will say 'you'll get used to it! you're being whiny. it doesn't hurt! it'll get better!"

but if you have a truly high arch that does not touch the ground, this is not true. It won't get better, and you will have terrible pain that is very real

fuck dem flat footed bitches

they wear heals to imitate the foot shape of a highly arched foot

Are there any kind of one piece dresses that looks flattering on a guy that isn’t lolita?

>>10265676
Go shopping.

>>10265378
Not OP, but I have high arches, and my low heels are actually more comfortable than my completely flat Vans because the curve of the heel provides at least some arch support. Higher heels are of course not comfortable.

Anyone know where I can get a quality reimu hakurei cosplay for someone 6'?

>>10265378
Omg thank you for explaining anon, I'm a girl with super high arches and I always wondered my my feet are always in pain in so many heeled types of shoes. (I so wish that more lolita brands made more flat varieties of tea parties cause even the low 1 inch heeled ones are painful after a while)

I want to buy and wear an outfit similar to this, does any body knows the name of these kind of outfits? thank you i don't know anything about japanese fashion.

I wear a size 14 in men's. Any recommendation on how I can get some cute shoes for cosplays?

>>10265885
there are some crossdressing/drag queen sites where you can order shoes in higher sizes like this for example: https://www.glamourboutique.com/shop/shoes-hosiery/high-heels
They say they sell sizes up to 17 but the shoes all look very slutty.maybe the flats are an option for you.

>>10265823
A maid outfit?

>>10266008
Doesn't looks like a maid outfit.

>>10241492
You wanr to contour and highlight to cover up the male face and look more feminine, so like adding highlights around the eyes since men usually have a deep brow and more hollow eyes causing a harder shadow, I would suggest watching makeup YouTuber's like Antonio Garza since their before after are very drastic and achieve really good results

I'm planning on crossplaying as my waifu at a con in a couple weeks, but I'm not sure what I should do about underwear. I'm a taller dude with a masculine face so I'm not really concerned about not passing since I sure as hell won't, so should I just stick with standard men's underwear?

>>10266812
I mean, that's entirely up to you. I'd only say that if you're not very passing, or (mean as it might sound) cute, stick to men's undies or at least boyshorts if you'll wear a short enough dress/skirt that someone might see under it.
Then again, nothin' really wrong with doing what you want either, if you wanna wear cute panties it's not like anyone would stop you, and if you're not flashing people who'll care?

>>10266858
Thanks. The skirt is long enough that I believe it shouldn't be an issue, but I've been behind enough people on stairs to know that shit happens. Thinking I'll just stick to boyshorts or plain white men's underwear. I do like feeling cute, but tucking gets too uncomfortable for me to consider it worth it to do for long periods

>>10266812
Yeah, i would recommend sticking with your usual underwear. Much more comfortable and no one is going to give a shit.

>>10266812
Wear some cute panties anon, would you like your waifu to wear boxers?

>>10266906
i mean, you don't have to really tuck y'know.

>>10267174
Sorry if I am being retarded, but what alternatives exist besides tucking or wearing a second pair over them?
>>10266989
If my waifu was physically uncomfortable due to the panties, no. Wearing a pair with another pair of underwear over them could be an option though, but alone and tucking is extremely painful

>>10267282
Short bloomers

>>10267302
Huh, I am retarded. Thanks

>>10266989
I don't know how I feel seeing this pose in front of holy icons in the background.

ain't nothing wrong with panties anon, so go with panties always.

Can someone give me advice on trying to improve the skin on my legs? I wanna have nice legs, I've tried looking around a bit for information but I thought I'd ask here too if there's anything different about the process for a boy.

>>10267380
I usually just wear panties to feel cute so I'm woefully uneducated on them, so if you have any additional advice/recommendations on panties that don't require tucking I would be glad to hear them

>>10239756
does anyone have pictures of them crossplaying? i'd like to maybe do one but i'm not sure of it's possible to look good

exfoliate, moisturize.
use natural products that will promote regeneration of skin as any blemished or rough skin is buffed away by exfoliating. olive oil is good for brightening (not to be confused w/ whitening, just regrowth of layers in place of dull skin) and regen. I use products by Jason, hempz, shea mosture, & deep steep. good nourishment for the skin with natural ingredients, gentle, and no harsh chemicals.
if you're shaving or waxing, make sure those products are moisturizing and safe.
rubbing in oils and lotion before bed is also very relaxing and promotes good blood flow to your leg muscles!

>>10239756
If you're a guy, how do you get into lolita?

Like I've listened to visual kei and been around lolita fashion for a long time, but I'm just now considering participating in it. I don't want to be creepy, and it seems like there's a very thin line between looking perfect and looking like a pedophile. I'd like to wear an age and gender appropriate fashion in line with lolita style but it seems like if you're not a crossdresser, an ouji twink, or a generic steampunk looking menswear goth that there's no room for you. Wat do?

>>10268651
Aristocrat and mature ouji styles exist. Similar to lolita, you just have to find the style that works for you.

Is crossplay a good way to come out
If I just show up at the halloween party dressed as a woman how many conversations do I avoid

>>10268485
Here you go!

As for looking good i love the look of myself in the mirror and window reflections. Selfies are awesome as well. But when taking pictures with a camera that has a larger lens i often don't look as good. Maybe i'm a terrible photographer or most people feel like this as well though.

There are a lot of crossplayers on Instagram just go there and check them out.

How do you order custom sizes from Amazon? It doesn't actually give me a place to submit sizes when I add it to the cart.

>>10268485
This is my Death from The Sandman comics. Hope it inspires you.

>>10268671
It's not a good way to come out because straight people crossplay all the time.

Anon, how can I improve my crossplay makeup? Maybe better coverage to hide the eyebrows, but what about the chin?

>>10268805
cute!

>>10268970
Practice and experimentation! Different faces require different makeup routines so you need to keep trying out stuff until you find what works the best for you.

From the picture i think you can use some polish. Like eyebrows, blending and cleaning up the hair around your mouth and nose. I pluck my eyebrows to make them look clean, it actually makes me look better as a boy as well. I can't tell from the picture but if you don't use highlight consider trying it out. And perhaps you could blend some more around your lips and chin.

>>10268980
Yea, I've been experimenting for a long time now, but this is the best I've done yet. I highlight the part underneath my lip, the arch over my eyelids, the middle of my nose and one line between my contour and my blush. I'm just not sure about my contouring, if I should try harder to modify my chin's shape. I think the contouring color is fine though? Also going to try different products next week to cover the beard (salmon and orange LA girl cream thing) and also go with paler highlight cream.

Btw, my real eyebrows here are covered and I drew the visible ones. Thing is, you can still see the real eyebrows a little, so maybe I should put a layer of orange cream there?

>>10268994
Actually no, I should probably make the real eyebrows flatter. The issue here is that they're not perfectly flat, so you see their shape a bit.

>>10266812
same but for Halloween instead of a con and at school teaching
Good luck anon!

>>10268805
Cute!!!

>>10268939
never had the problem
usually you can select your size right next to price and description etc

>>10239756
ha, weeb

>>10268970
A good start but seconding everything >>10268980 said about your facial and body hair.
No colours of cream are going to lay those thick brows flat, try more layers of glue stick and other drag queen techniques if you insist on drawing your brows higher than they actually are.
An easy room for improvement is avoiding getting foundation in your false lashes. A mostly dried out mascara can cover it, but don't make them clumpy. Always wash your lashes after wearing if you're a messy applicator.

Additional nitpick, your foundation is a little cakey, so maybe moisturize more before applying it, or find something less drying? Your chin is a already a nice enough shape so I don't think you need the 'contour' there, at first I thought it was just that you hadn't blended the foundation out to your chin! You have a nice smooth face so worry less about contour right now until your application is cleaner.

>>10269703
Thank you! I don't use glue for my brows, I use a type of paste that's made especially for that. In this particular case, I said I need to flatten them because I think I didn't put enough of that paste.

Noted for the eyelashes. I'll make sure I clean them properly.

I have very rich hydrating cream at home. Should I apply that right before putting on makeup? Or should I wait a few minutes so it becomes transparent?

Also need to buy a new foundation because I ran out. Any brand suggestions?

How many measurements should you give when ordering custom outfits? Is just bust, waist and hip fine? I'm a little worried.

>>10270067
If it's a measurement they give for the outfit in question, it's a measurement you make on yourself (+ padding of course). This is along with either them telling you how much +/- it has or generally knowing how much give the kind of materials it's gonna be made out of has. Also helps to know what you can squeeze yourself into if applicable.

I decided to buy from this seller >>10239829 , but I got the E cup (D cup in US sizing). Unfortunately the long torso is longer than my actual torso. When I wear it, I tuck it into whatever I'm wearing so it fits snugly on my body, but in doing so, the navel goes under my waistline concealed by my outfit. In most circumstances this isn't a problem, but one of the characters I want to wear this for is Medb in her warden outfit. I contacted the seller, and they said they cannot modify their breast torsos because they all follow a pre-made mold. I just don't want the lack of a visible navel to break immersion. Thoughts?

>>10270348
1, Pics? It'd be nice to see what these look like in non-idealized studio lighting where you can get a real feel for how big/small it is/isn't.
2, Hate to say it, but unless you can somehow cheese the waistline by having whatever's around your hips sit lower, or have the waistline of the shorts/skirt/what have you have a deep V shape plunge below the naval, you're sol. This is assuming the naval isn't too far below your real one and isn't sitting right above your crotch or something.

>>10270348
Would the actual navel be hidden under the skirt waistband in that outfit? You could possibly paint on a fake navel that wouldn't be immediately obvious, but you'll look weird if you have a second one just above the crotch...

>>10270310
They don't give measurements for it, other than the "small, medium, large, custom made" from the menu in Amazon. I realized that when selecting custom made, you have to contact them and send them your measurements also, so that's what I'm trying to figure out. There's nothing about +/- or give either.

>>10270682
You usually have to look lower into the item description to see what the measurements are.

Write me: creatsims472gmail.com
I already like you !
You are pretty and cute!
I love badboys !!

is it a good idea to crossplay even tho your straight and cis ?

>>10270800
I do. Why would it be a problem, anon?

Neck yourself closet faggots and trannies.

>>10270816
We're all just dudes here having a good time, anon. You don't have to be like that.

I'm going to cosplay pic related but uhhh "slipping out" is definitely a concern. What are my options to fix this?

>>10270352
I'll feel comfortable posting a photo when I've cleaned it properly. As it stands right now, I have to hand wash it regularly to remove the leftover residual silicone oil from the manufacturing. Do you want a photo of it by itself, on me with an outfit, in frame with something to compare the size to, etc? And yes unfortunately the artificial navel is considerably beyond my waistline.

>>10270374
There's no chance the artificial navel would show given how low it is on my body, but I don't think I'm skilled enough at painting to try to do something as potentially permanent as that. I could look into it and try though I wouldn't even know where to begin searching for guidelines or references on that.

>>10270922
Ideally with it worn, along with your height and bare chest circumference so anyone seeing it can get an idea of scale. I'd also say with and without an outfit on, but I don't know how far even just slapping a censor bar over the offending fake titilation would be pushing blue board rules.
Sucks that the naval sounds like it's way too low. Are you just generally on the shorter side or do you have a scrunched up torso but amazing legs?
>>10270890
Get underwear specifically for crossdressing. Before getting some I tried a handful of ways of keeping my dong back, the only one that actually did anything was busting the duct tape out. After, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it keeps everything in place despite there being nothing remarkable with how it's constructed from the outside.

>>10270926
i considered something like that but my issue with it is that its very visible underneath shuten's outfit

>>10270932
For a cosplay like that, unless the cosplayer happened to had the perfect body for her anyway (a normal dude absolutely won't), they'd have skin colored leggings, have all the external clothing on top of that, and applicable padding underneath, which in your case is likely your typical crossdressing hip padding and such. Conveniently her more clothed outfit seems to have a solid waistband to hide the top of any leg attire masquerading as skin.

>>10270936
I was actually gonna go full skin on it

>>10270949
I'd advise against it

>>10271023
seconded.

>>10270800
Idk man. I touched a skirt once and it immediately made me gay.

>>10270949
I'll be honest with you anon, the only way I would see someone crossplay mostly naked shuten douji convincingly without breaking the law/looking like trash, would be to buy one of these full bodysuits they sell at Roanyer, that was posted earlier in this thread. Otherwise, she just doesn't have enough clothes to get away with it.

>>10271054
Or make your own bodysuit, that's entirely doable too.

>>10271023
>>10271025
>>10271054
I wasn’t really worried about looking like trash because i always look like trash anyway but breaking some rules is a valid concern. I’m not against skin colored tights/a bodysuit but I have no experience with those things or hip padding so i figured it’s be easier and look better if i just went skin since there’s less of a chance of me fucking up something.

>>10271287
There's no secret to skin colored tights, just get them in the color of your skin and without a visibly different top part. Dance or figure skating tights should be perfect. Pic is what you want to avoid, you can see there's a demarcation at the upper thigh. You also want something more opaque than that.

>>10239756
am i doomed if i have a decently pronounced browline? shit sucks bros, i just dont want to stand out like crazy

Hello seagulls, crossboarder here.
I haven't crossdressed since I was prepubescent in high school.
Is a womens' "Large" roughly equivalent to a mens' "Medium"?

I'm 5'8 (yes I know I'll commit suicide don't worry), skinny with slightly broad chest/shoulders. I don't know the actual dimensions for my shoulders/chest/waist and I don't have measuring tape on hand. Would I be able to get rough estimate with a rigid industrial tape measure?

I was thinking of getting a generic pre-made 2hu outfit instead of going all out with custom-made clothing my first costume. The intent was to try it out on Halloween and then tweak it as necessary with additional flair if I end up enjoying it.

>>10268970
Take those contacts out asap. Those eyes do not look happy

>>10272120
No. You need real measuring tape. Otherwise The outfit will probably not fit. Specially on the shoulders.

You don't need a custom made one, but you need to know measures to check if the premade ones will fit you.

Of you can't really get measuring tape in time I guess you could use the rigid one for the shoulder distance and arm and leg length but it's not recomendable.

>>10272120
You can probably get measuring tape at the supermarket or a local craft store, it's really cheap and it's worth getting the measurements right rather than end up with something you can't wear

>>10272120
>I'm 5'8 (yes I know I'll commit suicide don't worry)
What?

>>10270926
I'm 5'4 with a 30" bust and a smaller than average torso, so if you can imagine "average female build", that's me. I'll follow up with photos of it on soon. They allowed me to request the long torso version of any cup size with any skin tone with removable nipples for no extra cost, but they don't explicitly say that anywhere on their website. Also it's important to note the dimensions of each item that they post in photos below the product. I didn't realize that they offered smaller build options for their E cup (Asian cup sizes) torso, and I ordered the standard initially, which was way too baggy on me on top of the navel issue I mentioned earlier. The smaller build torso is on the way right now, so that's when I'll post the photos.

>>10272268
incel in-jokes, pay it no mind

If a seller asks your gender along with height and weight when ordering things custom, what should you tell them? How differently will the outfit fit if I say that I'm a boy?

>>10272686
Tell them the truth because I doubt factory workers care about your taiwanese basketweaving hobbies. Even better is letting them know your measurements. There are some difference between male and female builds.

>little/no results with hair loss treatments after ~5 months

so much for not having to wear wigs in girlmode lol

>>10272698
what kind are u trying ?
heard some take longer depending on bodytype

>>10272700
finasteride since late june and i'm gonna try dermarolling bi-weekly soon. the left side of my hairline is still pretty fucked up, but apparently dht blockers were never that good for frontal hair loss any way. i've also heard of people getting a lot of regrowth between 6 and 12 months, but i'm happy as long as i don't lose any more to be honest

>>10272698
What's causing your hair loss?

>>10272708
my genetics suck and my dad was rocking a combover since he was 25

to keep things on topic: is there a consensus on which brand of tights are the best for crossplaying? i've been wearing skin coloured ultra-soft ones from mondor since forever but i've heard that figure skating tights are even better for durability

>>10272689
What if they say "sorry, this item is meant for women and we can't complete your order" or something?

Not that I'm really fat, but is there any decent corset to compress my plumpy belly?

>>10272301
>They allowed me to request the long torso version of any cup size with any skin tone with removable nipples for no extra cost, but they don't explicitly say that anywhere on their website.
Well huh, will have to keep that in mind.

>>10272715
i really doubt that since i bought the sluttiest, girliest cosplay and they knew im a boy and didnt say anything besides regarding sizing

>>10272715
It's very unlikely they'll give a shit, and if they do you can just order from some other place, it's not a big deal

>>10272715
Chinese sweatshop laborers have enough to worry about without gatekeeping women's clothing from twinks

Any idea where I could get something like this for a chunky 6'5" dude?

>>10273231
Commission it

>>10272783
>>10272784
>>10272995
They cancelled it. I'm too embarrassed to ask for a standard size and hope I fit. It really sucks, I knew it would take a long time, but it's cosplay of a series I really like and I kind of got my heart set on it. I guess I'll look for something else.

>>10268994
remove the real eyebrows, thread them away and it should help you with the texture, also go easy use less makeup base and concealer near the eyes.

>>10272777
>>10272301
You two should consider using chrome with automatic translate and go visit their chinese taobao page.

They are much better at listing options there and you also get a sense for how low you can easily push them on their prices.

>>10272301
Is it dust resistant for Roanyer, or does it get a little sticky?

>>10274838
You definitely want to hand-wash it multiple times before putting it on. I also recommend applying baby powder to your torso and abdomen as well as putting your hair in a wig cap before putting it on. It definitely adheres to your body, but it's not sticky. It's not dust-resistant though, but proper washing and storing techniques will make this a non-issue for when you want to wear it.

>>10266989
who is this

Not sure if I'm suppose to ask here or the question thread, but I'm crossplaying so I might as well. Anyone got any tips, guides or whatever on wigs? I'm trying to do pic related, and I got the outfit ready but I don't know anything about wigs. Where do I get them? Do I just style my own? I don't know anything about haircutting, so how do I style it? Any advice would be helpful.

>tfw no bf (gf)

My costume came in, and it mostly fits pretty well besides 2 issues
1. The shirt is a bit short, and exposes my stomach if my shoulders move anywhere
2. The skirt is short enough that no male underwear I own wouldn't stick out
Are my best options just wearing an undershirt of the same color then wearing either briefs or panties, or are there alternatives that I am missing?

>>10276861
what's the costume?
also shave tummy, wear panties and/or spats

>>10276861
Pull the skirt up to give the illusion of a higher waist and longer legs if possible

>>10276861
Gray from Lord El Melloi II

should i use hip shape wear or can a skirt cover that

>>10277528
Use hip padding. Unless you already happen to have a feminine frame your shoulder to hip ratio will look off without trying to pad them out, regardless of the legwear.

>>10276861
qt

>>10276394
For wigs, unless it's a popular character you'll have to find a similar looking one and style it yourself.

If you want cheap you can look in aliexpress

If you want quality there are several options. I'll list two:
https://arda-wigs.com/
https://arda-wigs.com/

For styling look at some youtube tutorials, they have everything there. Here's a random one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uzviF9DXFs
Or you can ask your hairdresser to style the wig, but that costs money and requires social interaction.

>>10278177
I've listed the same one two times I'm fucking retarded.
This is the second one: https://www.epiccosplay.com/

>>10266989
Sneaky's wearing padding in this picture, right? That's incredible how feminine and cute the look is.

>>10278518
Yeah that also looks like the same room the rest of the shoot was done
I guess the patron has more photos?

So guys.
This is my very first time I'm trying to dress up like a girl for the next event.
How do I convince to my parents?
They won't forbid me to do that, right?

>>10279774
>They won't forbid me to do that, right?

You know them better than us, anon.

Are they conservative?

>>10279774
1. Tell them that you are in theater and you are a background character
2. Just tell them that you are going to do/what it is

>>10279795
I dressed up as a witch for Halloween. Halloween was my best opportunity.

I want to cosplay next year but I kind of want to do some kind of cute kig robot girl. No idea how much $$$ I would be willing to sink into it either.

>>10279774
When I was like 10 or so, I was forced to dress up as a girl for halloween along with my little brother.I remember wearing a poofy top and a skirt along with a hat and a brooch, so...

So a male character I want to cos wears a female cut garnet. I am male. How do I try on/check fitment at a store without looking weird?

>>10280046
I hate autocorrect
Garnet>garmet

>>10239810
I highly recommend the Gold seal naked crop top breast plate! It’s what I use it they are amaaaazing.
Pic for example.

>>10268970
First, you gotta do something about your eyes.
They look so red. You shouldn't put eye contact!

is primer the very first thing you should put on before makeup? is it essential?

>>10262955
That's like asking if a sports bra covers the same function as a binder.
No, of course not.

>>10268970
wax and thread your facial hairs...
that' would help tremendously

>>10281004
Yes and yes.

>>10280823
Not the guy to you're replying to, but damn, that thing is a bit of an investment. I'm trying to think whether or not I crossplay often enough to justify putting that much money on high quality fake boobs.

I feel like if I bought those, I'd be compelled to crossdress a lot more often just to get my money's worth. Like not just to cons, but to the market or whatever.

>>10281148
True true, that’s a valid response, you can catch them on sale a few times a year to save a few hundered dollars like I did. But I mean, yah, I do totally crossdress a lot more often since I got them.

Halloween self post.
Happy Halloween!

>>10281418
you are wearing a wig, right?

>>10282039
I'm not. Girls keep getting salty.

>>10282039
>>10282295
awesome hair then! Why are they getting salty?

>>10282579
Salty might be the wrong word.
I get compliments for my hair, and they dress it up as jealousy for the sake of conversation.
When I make new aquaintences on cons the first wtf is when they notice I'm a crossplayer, the second when they see me out of costume without a wig.
Very satisfying.

>>10282612
you are very lucky! keep it up!

>>10280872
>>10281110

It's cool and all that you reply now, but I had time to wear and do a photoshoot with that costume since that picture. It's kind of too late.

Hey all, wig question that isn't necessarily crossplay, but I dunno where else to post. I bought a wig with detachable ponytails and I have 3 questions
1) Do I store them clipped on the wig, which is on a stand, or lying flat
2) What are the elastic bands for on the ponytails?
3) What are the hooks on the inside of the wig for? I'm guessing something about resizing, but I'm not sure if you hook them together or what

>>10283836
I store them on a clothing hanger in my closet, but laying out stretched should be fine as well. As long as it won't get tangled I guess. The elastic bands are what attach the hair to the clip. I cut mine short because they were sticking out. Not sure about your hooks. Mine has one on the back to make the wig fit tighter around my head, but it's already tight enough so I usually leave it unhooked. Instead I fix the wig and hair cap to my hair using hairclips and hairspray, just to be sure.

>>10283889
Neat, thanks for the answers!

>>10280823
What kind of shirt is that and where did you get it?

How would I go about a cosplay like this as a person with tits?

>>10285042
Wear a binder with a painted bodysuit over it

How do I find men's style dress shoes in women's sizes? (Eg us womens 6.5). Do mens sizes run this small? Can I find kids sizes? Or do I have to find really unisex womens shoes

>>10287338
I'd say kid sizes are the way to go. You can find dress shoes for kids that look exactly like adult ones, the only difference being the size.

I know ElCorteInglés has them, and other similar stores should too.

Any places having any good/ decent sales on fake boob plates atm? Looking to replace my current silicone inserts

>>10287397
Decided to look at Roanyer today for entirely unrelated reasons and apparently they have a sale going on at the moment for the next day or so where a lot of their stuff is half off, saw one of their G cup boob vests (with cotton stuffing) going for $90.

>>10287400
>cotton stuffing
But I'll check it out.

>>10287400
Looks like they're also around that price on aliexpress. Think I'll pull the trigger on it.

>>10280823
I like your TikTok videos, man.

I ordered a cotton stuff boob crop from tb for 11.11 about 30$. Its just for cosplay so it feels like an ok investment

>>10287400
The sale on aliexpress is fake. They doubled the price then halved it.

>>10287621
Seems about right.

>>10287621
Ah damn I wish I saw this before I ordered. Oh well I needed new ones anyway.

Any tips for wearing these silicone plates? Do I basically baby powder the shit out of myself and wiggle it on? How sweaty is it really

>>10291155
I'm a little jealous.
But you did well.

Honestly I've wanted to try crossplay and cross dressing in general for a long time. I'm Asian, which seems to work pretty well with crossdressing, and I also have a pretty small frame. So... Where to start?

>>10293124
Pretty much like you would start cosplay, with some emphasis on learning make-up skills, and you can get a waist cincher and a padded bra for cheap to give you a more feminine silhouette

>>10293148
Hm ok, I heard makeup takes a lot of practice. Are there any characters or types that are easier for beginners to cosplay?

>>10293150
Well, it's easier if the costume isn't very revealing, and if you don't feel confident in your makeup skills or just with showing your face you can pick a character with a mask like the Akali picture you posted. It's also difficult to walk in heels if you've never done it before.

>>10293124
Costume choice is very important. Picking something that hides the manly features you have but enhances the feminine ones is important and some costumes I see some crossplayers try are just not right for their strengths and weaknesses.
For example I like the K/DA Akali outfit (considering cosplaying it myself actually) because shoulders and jaw can be hidden so as long as your midriff and eye makeup are good then you've got a good chance of passing and if you can get convincing cleavage going with a breastplate (which the seams are easily hidden by the hoodie, top and choker) or just the Nubra method, it'll be easier to pass than you would think.

>>10292246
is your skin oily? what kind of eyeliner do you use? it's not supposed to transfer like that. if your eyes are watering you gotta use a waterproof liner/mascara. if your actual eyeliner is transfering, then you should rework your skincare routine for oily or combination skin, and use a mattifying primer/base. I have a supremely oily t-zone (afab woman) and it took me forever to figure out that your makeup is supposed to be able to last all day without looking shiny and melted lol

>>10292795
no i am not but they are better based on what yall posted in this thread lol they definitely are cuter , in better shape and less derpy looking than what posted in this thread lol

>>10293349
That's fine man, most of us don't crossplay to look cute to you.

>>10292732
Side thing, any other photo shoots for inspiration? Doesn't have to be the same person.

>>10293345
Where did you find this?

>>10266812
Post face and body

Anyone know where a good astolfo set is?
eBay and Amazon have meh ones for about $30-70 but they don't look to be good quality.

>>10293726
Which outfit you looking for? Its much easier find a decent casual one or schoolgirl than his vanilla armoured outfit.

Regardless Taobao is cheapest and fairly decent quality; Its where I bought my casual and school girl.

>>10293744
The sailor set.
Yeah I see a number of variants but I'll give Taobao a look

Is there an existing guide for crossplaying 2B from NieR Automata?

The NieR Orchestra concert is coming to my area in a few months and I feel like crossplaying her might be fun but I've never really done cosplay before

How do you hide your cosplay from your family?

>>10294170
>Stick it all in a closet
>Never take it out for wearability tests unless everyone's out of the house for a known amount of time
>Be careful of ever having any part of it exposed with other people in the house
If you have a family that has zero sense of personal space, then you're fucked.

>>10293991
What do you want to know? I have crossplayed her before so might be able to answer any questions you have.

>>10294170
Essentially everything that >>10294176 said. I've got a toolbox which I've taken the tools out of, then I lock it with a 3number padlock and stuff all of my clothes in there. My senpai would kill me if they found I was a degenerate.
To actually aquire cosplay in the first place just set up a delivery box for Amazon or eBay and grab it when safe

>>10294170
I did when preparing my first crossplay, but the outfit has to go through the laundry at some point lol. Since then I haven't hid it anymore

>>10294197
I washed mine in the bathtub one day that I was alone at home. Then left it hanging outside covered with a towel. Or you can tell your parents that you'll do the laundry and sneak the cosplay in the washing machine. They'll be happy and you won't get found. Unless you never help with chores, then it would be suspicious, not my case, though.

>>10294197
I used to take great care to hide it all but one time a pair of pantsu got somehow scooped in in my dirty laundry that I gave to my mum.

They were neatly placed on top of my laundry pile that was left on my bed although she never mentioned it.

I started to accept my parents knew about my crossplaying over time and now my outfits just hang up in my wardrobe which I know my mum sees when she puts stuff in it.

We have never really talked about it all though but they seem somewhat fine with it all.

To answer >>10294170 I guess the moral of the story is take care to hide it at first if you're worried in ways that other anons have detailed but over time you might not have to worry about hiding it so much.

>>10294170
Hiding it is too much effort. I always wear my costumes in front of them and make it clear that the character is female and also that I'm wearing panties and (when relevant) stockings.

>>10294499
Doesn't your Dad beat the living daylights out of your for wearing panties, skirts and (presumably) getting ass fucked?

>>10294499
I refuse to believe anyone wearing panties isn't doing it for fetishistic purposes. Otherwise, you would wear normal underpants under the crossplay wich fill the exact same purpose.

>>10294549
If you're wearing a short skirt, and you're not wearing tights or something that covers the entire leg underneath the skirt, male underwear will show any time you're taking a photo that is angled from below even slightly.

>>10294549
Along with what the other anon said, if you're wearing something fairly skin tight (zentai, leggings, etc.) the imprint of whatever underwear you're wearing can show through.

>>10294563
>>10294562
If they can see your underpants they can also see your dick bulge, so I'm not sure what panties are achieving there.

>>10294575
There's underwear to fix that. Works surprisingly well, unless you have an absolutely monster schlong.

>>10294210
But then, the parents especially a mother can forcibly take the cosplay away.

>>10294662
If that's a genuine concern, hate to say it but you have shitty parents.

>>10294210
Do your own laundry

>>10291155
Lose another 15 and we can form a pact.

>>10294575
You're mistaken. Look at any image of male underwear and you can see the parts on your legs extend further down your leg than the part that cradles your groin. You'd be able to see the underwear on the cosplayer's legs even if you took conservative photos from a lower angle before you'd see any groin area. Wearing panties just eliminates that problem.

>>10294810
There's other types of male underwear that aren't boxersl. Pic related.

>>10294739
Brutal yet true, granted that was on the Sunday after me buying way too many sweets.

Also like fuck would I form a pact with you nerd

>>10294575
That's why we prefer high-poof paniers.

If I want to try doing some more revealing cosplays, how can I get a more feminine body? Wider hips, thin waist, feminine limbs, stuff like that. Is exercise the best way of going about it? Or are there any secret methods of getting a curvy body?

>>10295036
>Hips
Become a female
>Waist
Female
>Limbs
Slim down
>Butt
Squats and squats and squats
>Thighs
Google thigh EXERCISE

>>10295036
>Hips
You can increase them a little by developing muscles in the area. (Like anon said, just google[partOfBodyYouWant] exercise).
>Waist
Lose some weight. If you're already skinny train lower body muscles (mainly thighs). Your waist will look slimmer by comparison.
>Limbs
Avoid building muscle in your arms. Don't be too skinny, women always have a little fat.
>Butt and Thighs
Same as before, google related exercises. Lunges and Squats are good but there are a lot more that you can do.
>Upper body
Do not build muscle in your upper body. Males have wider chests and shoulders than women, you don't want to add even more volume to that.

>>10295131
>He doesn't know the joy of muscle traps

>>10294689
Yeah I learnt my lesson after that. This was a few years ago now and I have mostly done my own laundry ever since.

>>10294182
Thank you for responding, Anon, but I decided not to cosplay at that event. I have zero experience and with the holidays I don't feel confident I can throw things together quickly enough and look presentable.

I decided to cosplay the character Phosphophyllite from HnK instead and aim for AX in the Summer. That gives me more time to practice things like makeup and also lose a few pounds.

>>10295963
Good choice. When trying something completely new it's better to take your time. Racing against the clock will create a bad experience and the result will probably be bad and rushed.

>>10239756
I bought two cheap wigs online just to see how they feel/look on me and to gain exp. with them. They should arrive soon. Any tips on how to style them? What kind of possibilities do I have regarding hair styles. I got a few hairclips and ties but I guess I wont be able to create a high ponytail because they are cheap and no lace wigs. I ordered one red bob cut and one long blonde with bangs.

>>10296114
update: they came and I got one really good and one crappy wig. The short bob is awesome easy to comb and looks really good even tho it was very cheap. The long blonde is a tangled mess and when you comb it it looses a lot of 'hair'. Looks nothing like the picture and has a huge wave in the middle due to the packaging, sucks ass. But I guess there are good cheap wigs out there yay

>>10296533
With wigs, you can't really know their quality until you buy them. Remember wich sellers are good and which ones are bad from previous experiences. Other than that it's a gamble. At least they are somewhat cheap.

Are there any particularly good places to buy makeup online? Or am I better served trying to order from real places IRL?

Is there anything I need to know about women's shoes (especially heels) or should I be fine as long as I know the shoe size conversion?

>>10296692
Unless you need to consider for wide feet (most don't), not really. Personally I prefer to go foot length -> shoe size rather than male shoe size -> female shoe size just to avoid any confusion.
Also unless you have particularly small feet you're gonna have a harder time finding specific shoes as most kinds of womens shoes skew smaller, for obvious reasons. My foots ~27cm and I barely skate by with most shoes I find capping out at my size.

>>10296703
I ordered this pair from Ezcosplay: https://m.ezcosplay.com/land-of-the-lustrous-houseki-no-kuni-phosphophyllite-black-golden-cosplay-shoes.html

But I do have smaller feet (around 25cm) so I thought it'd be fine

>>10296691
If you're just starting out, see if there's an Ulta in your area. Ulta spans the gamut from cheap makeup to intermediate/advanced product. There are sales happening pretty regularly and you can get help with anything there if you're unsure. Their online store is pretty good about staying accurate with "in-store stock" checking so you can check to see if they have what you need before you even go.

>>10296692
>>10296703
you gotta consider that when you want to wear them a long period of time it will hurt bad. At least thats my experience with them. Wore them for like 30minutes and I could hardly walk in them. I guess my muscles are not used to the position of the feet. So better practice at home first and see wether you can endure it or not

>>10296897
True. That's why I wanted to order the shoes now even though AX isn't for months. It's far easier to make alterations to clothes than shoes, probably.

>>10297334
One anon said you should choose ones with a wide heel, no spike heel. I guess its easier to wear over time

>>10297436
That makes sense, and as far as I'm aware the pair I ordered have a square point not a spike

why the fuck do my wigs make my androgynous(male leaning) chin more masculine??

>>10297820
probably unflattering hairstyle?

>>10296703
Also you gotta pay attention even for the dress measurements.
Even if you chose XL or higher, they can be a little tight to wear for a male body.

Go back to r9k you fetishists.

Whoever suggested getting the Roanyer boob molds thank you so much! They're amazing!

>>10298570
Care to share any more details? There really isn't a whole lot in the way of heavily unbiased reviews of them, aside from what's on their site, which isn't the most trustworthy.
Also pics if possible.
>t. Want to get some myself, but still at the "tfw No money" and "Which size do I go for" stage.

>>10298415
You say that, but the reality is that this is how fetishes start. You do things casually and sometimes it awakens something in you.

>>10298636
I hear ya, I dont have money for them yet and I am too afraid to order the wrong ones. I dont even want them to be that big, a simple B-Cup would do nicely
