/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Maybe helpful to someone.

I bought at aerie (where I buy most of my bras) a set of bras like these. They have them in flesh color, white and black. I got the flesh colored one and white. They are very comfy and work for clothes in which you will wear clothing that are low and open in the middle. I find aerie has decent prices when it comes to bras and they also send you cupons all the time on the mail. Don't know about bigger sizes but for girls with smaller bust that would like something like this, this is my recommendation.

I don't know if those padded panties are legit. Most of what I've seen in people they rarely look natural.

>breasts
why are women so FUCKING disgusting

you probably rub period blood on them or some shit god damn nasty

post tut's that increase bulge

>implying animu and comic boobs look natural in the first place

>>7607966

By not looking natural I mean ugly. They make your ass look pointy instead of round.

I want really comedic fake boobs but not sure how to do it. all I want is that silly bounce. doesn't have to look real.

Water balloons.

You said it, heavy squats. Gives you that fantastic squat butt. Don't forget to eat properly in terms of your macros (proteins/fats/carbs).

Go to /fit/ and ready the sticky.

>>7610895
My only issue with squats is the extreme thunder thighs.
Is there any way around that?

>>7610909

Fit legs are attractive. Having a nice butt without nice legs too looks really weird.

>>7610909

Different anon but I'm predisposed to building huge thigh muscles. When I was more active as a teenager I'd get comments on it every time I wore shorts. Most of my body fat is stored there as well which only adds to the size of my thighs, particularly the front.

I don't mind having muscular legs but is there a way to train up a nice tight butt without ending up looking like pic related?

>>7610895
but in most cosplay, thigh gap trumps butt. unless a cosplayer is willing to commit to a year's worth of datass/thunder thigh cosplay, it isn't really worth it because she will look awful cosplaying as 99% all other characters.

Weighted glute bridges.

>>7610932
keep the weights relatively light. Your muscles will tighten from the activity, but they shouldn't increase in size much if at all if you're squating say 20lbs+bar.

Thanks for the tips! I half expected to be yelled at for being ignorant about /fit/ business, but I'll definitely look into this.

Yes, there is. You don't have to go as extreme as fit suggests. Check out how this girl did it.

I'm satisfied with everything but my waist. I feel like I'm shaped like a rectangle. Any advice would be great.

>>7611281
Get some shapewear or start lightly corset training.

>>7611281
I know this feel, anon. What are your measurements? There's not much that I could do besides lose weight, since my rib cage is just wide and blocky looking. Four months of diet and gym and I've lost four inches off of my waistline and one or two off my bust(back fat), and I'm still kind of a rectangle because of my ribs, but at least my waist inclines now and it makes me feel a lot better about myself.

On another note, I'm curious what body type I have now. I'm at 34-24-35. When I started losing weight, my goal was 24in for my waist because I wanted to see if I could get an hourglass figure and I've heard at least a 10in difference between bust, waist, and hips is what makes an hourglass. However, I've got super broad shoulders and I've read elsewhere that figure also depends on shoulders rather than bust. So have I achieved an hourglass figure or have I just jumped from rectangle to inverted triangle?

How about hiding body parts rather than enhancing? We've seen lots of binding methods for boobs, but what about your ass?

>>7611313
I'm 5"2, 116 pounds,
35-27-35.
And it sounds like you're an hourglass, which is what I am going to start to aim for.
>>7611289
Ah thank you, I'll try that and get back.

>>7611281
Are you asking for shapewear suggestions or workout/diet suggestions? It sounds like both.

If you're asking for spot reduction, that doesn't exist. You can only take off your overall weight. You might see people lose weight in one area but "not" in another, but it's because of how their body stores and prioritizes weight. It's not uncommon for a body to have the fat around the belly high on the priority list, since it's protecting and insulating your organs.

How's your muscle tone and how physically active are you?

I'm pretty sticky myself. I'm starting to take the opposite route, since going down from 120 to 98lbs hasn't rewarded me with any definition. Instead of making my waist smaller, I'm focusing on making the rest bigger by comparison. I'm working on my butt, like this girl >>7611230, along with my thighs, I'm investing in well-supporting bras (I've been going without) and am looking into some pushup bras as well.
Sometimes I dream about corsets like >>7611289 said, but I don't know if it would work for me. I wouldn't be pushing fat around, except for the small squishy bit between my ribcage and my pelvis, but that's squishy because it's my organs.

>>7611313
Sounds like a slight hourglass but we'd have so see pics to make sure. Not that you actually have to post yourself, just that it depends on how you carry it and it can be hard to judge just from numbers. Some people have less than 10" difference and look hourglass-y and others have well over 10" but still look like rectangles.

Are your shoulders wider than your hips? If so, the overall effect may indeed be inverted triangle. But broader shoulders can also contribute to the hourglass look. It all depends on the balance.

>>7611313
I actually really know that feel.
I can lose a few inches off my waist, but I also know because of the way my ribcage is shaped, it won't ever "curve" like a waist should, it'll look curved a bit from the side, but not from the front.
Oh my god I thought I was the only one .__. I also have broad shoulders too. Blocky waist kindred spirits~~

Is there a tutorial on how to pad your hips for a bodysuit? I want to have anime huge hips for a costume.

>>7611456
Forgot my pic.

>>7611456
I'm pretty sure drag queens have some resources you can look at. Padding your hips is really common.

Bless you anon

Is there any way to pad boobs without a bra or at most a strapless one? There's are some revealing cosplays I want to do but I have really unbalanced proportions.

I'm 5"7, 130-135lbs, 32-27-37

I look okay from the front because my shoulders are wide but from the side I'm all hips and ass with nothing up top.

>>7611456
Take mine anon.

>>7611509
I have a strapless bra that has build in padding and it's the only kind that will fit me? I don't know if they do it for larger sizes but since I'm an A cup I believe the padding is in there for support/a courtesy or something lol

>>7611470

>tfw 38-27-41 and 5'9

nothing fits me

>>7611509
What I did when I had to go strapless and pad my boobs but also go without a corset or anything because it also revealed stomach is wear 3 pairs of those stick on bras in increasing sizes and the a strapless bra over top, fashion taping the bra to my skin so that all my fake and real titties would stay right.

>tfw 23-24-35 but a cup

I have massive thighs, so I'm not sure whether to go for the skinnyfat route or exercising and trying to at least firm up my thighs

>>7610932

You won't get like pick related without actively trying for it. Girls have less testosterone so they have a harder time building muscle anyway. As a girl you won't suddenly, accidentally have Chun-li sized thighs.

And besides, losing the muscle in your thighs is literally the easiest thing in the world. You literally do nothing and you will lose muscle. As another anon said though, weighted glute bridges are good, just don't neglect the legs.

Also, to everyone in the topic talking about "tighting up", "toning" your muscles, exercising is only part of it.

What you call toning is really just reducing body fat. Your muscles are always there and you'll be able to see more of their detail if the layer of fat above them is thinner. You can't spot reduce fat loss, you just have to reduce your overall body fat percentage.

And you don't do that by starving yourself. Find out your caloric maintenance level, which is the number of calories you have to eat a day to stay the same weight. There are places online to calculate this. To lose weight, eat 500 calories below your maintenance, to gain weight (It will be muscle gain making your butt look better if you eat enough protein and exercise) you eat 500 above your maintenance.

Try to eat a gram of protein per pound of muscle in your body and exercise, usually 5 sets of 5 repetitions or 3x8 with the heaviest weights you can handle without losing form (look up proper form or you'll hurt yourself). These are just really high level guidelines, /fit/'s sticky has a great guide explaining in more detail.

Enjoy being absurdly sexy

god damn kid you got a big butt

>>7611535
Are you me

>>7610750
thats nice but I don't want them to pop.

>>7610909
Once you start squatting for a few months, you can begin to cut, and then your legs will get smaller, yet retain the same definition.

>>7611377
Muscle tone? Sorry?
I have muscle if that's what you're asking, and I excercise lightly.

>>7610704
fill nylon with rice, that's how drag queens do it

>>7611823
I use helium type balloons full of water for 36C-36D that are surprising durable
fill them slowly and get all the air out otherwise they'll slosh
also make sure you get decent support or they'll most definitely sag over the day

seems to be a running gag of friend at con to encouraging all his acquaintances to squeeze my rack now

>>7612140
i've heard pudding is also a good, realistic filling

>>7611744
In high school my legs legitimately looked like the ones of the second woman from the right. Even the PE teachers thought I was a sprinter but all I did was bike to school and run around the block from time to time.
Like I said, horse genetics.
