How to bind for a Cosplay

[brokendollist]

"...boobs. eheheh..." 

[AdareAgarde]

You're adorable.<3

[jonoui101]

you should look up and do a video explaining for girls that have ahem big boobs to bind, im 14 and i have almost DDD size boobs but im not fat so its hard for me to bind, i tried a back brace, but it was to small and just popped off. i cant find anything that works and i dont have enough money to buy a 3 $ back brace. HELP!!!!!!!!!

[lilly789654123]

first off i love your zelda shirt it is epic!

and second off, where can i buy ace bandages or that tank top?

and around how much do they cost?

i think ill be cosplaying as boys for awile, the same reason as you.

thanks! :D

[emeraldeyedpixi7]

I used the ace bandage method and it works pretty good for me. I am totally flat. . . Guess that says something there doesn't it?

[TheCosplayFail]

lol.. "Ta-Da!.. I'm Naked."

Anyways, thanks fore the tutorial @_@ this really helps!

[0XxTrancyHivexX0]

I suck at binding with an ace bandage, I've tried before and they always slip off immediately or ADD ON breasts, but because I'm barely and A-cup I can get away with using a sports bra and masking tape, it doesn't hurt or anything, but...what do I do for my Mello cosplay...?

He wears a tank-top, and my binding shows through the arms holes and the top...and this is a last minute, ohmigod-what-am-I-supposed-to-­do problem, I can't go out and buy a tank top with a different cut atm. Help?!

[boredsoha]

@0XxTrancyHivexX0 oh god i didnt catch this..... ummmm, if its not too late, my only suggestion wuld be to do a weird version of "open shirt binding." but that involves bare chest and duct tape so, idk if you are willing to do that XD but essentially you duct tape your breast down and out and it gives the appearance. however, you probably can't go "out" because the ducttape will show. but since you have a small breast size mayb just pulling them down will work? I hope this kinda helped ^_^'

[0XxTrancyHivexX0]

@boredsoha thanks:D I just went bra-less for the one cosplay, but considering how, er, teeny they are it just looked like a well-muscled guy. But I'll use this in the future, for sure! (particularly for cosplaying Ludwig from APH, half of the time he's in a tank-top) and I don't care about scars from duct-tape so I shouldn't have much of a problem with OCB.

[brassnuckleband]

Where can I buy a compression shirt?

[BleachyPeachChannel]

@brassnuckleband From Victoria's Secret, most likely. They have the best ones and last for a long time, as far as I know.

[musiccat2]

can you find a binder in normal shops ( like underwear shops?)

[boredsoha]

@musiccat2 I've never seen them. but i'm sure it wouldnt hurt to look around =]

[KingdomHCosplay]

OMG I WAS WEARING THAT NARUTO SHIRT TODAY :DDDD... we have the same shirt and i just did that binding because im cosplaying ciel phantomhive tomorrow just randomly

[Kawaimadworld]

I'm a total newb at binding, when you use the ace tape, do you put it on with a bra or not? all my near future cosplays are guys...might be helpful if I learn how to bind! :P

[thebolt220]

I have a question, I couldn't find the binding shirt. I'm cosplaying as United Kingdom from Hetalia and the belt keeps making me look like a girl so I wonder if full swimsuit works for my situation? Thank you.

[boredsoha]

@thebolt220 i'm sorry but I'm not quite sure what you're asking ^_^''''' like, a swimsuit to bind with?? forgive me if i'm wrong and correct me XD

[AmariStarship]

the zelda shirt

[AmariStarship]

i want your shirt. can i buy it from you!?

(jk, but if u want to sell it to me, im happy)

[Kowaku]

Thank you for this! Now I'm really going to buy that binding-shirt!

[xKimixnixTodokex]

Wow that really helped me a lot :D cuz ima be crossplaying Ciel Phantomhive and i needed a good tutorial on how to bind :3

[boredsoha]

@xKimixnixTodokex i have a friend who just got a binder so that she could do Ciel too!! haha wow. I'm gald i could help =]

[ZeXMouse]

Not the binding shirt, the like.. pinkish/tannish stuff o:

[tobilikescookies]

I've tried Duct tape, and it's better than ace bandages. you have to push your boobs down and to the sides, then put a sports bra on. you put the tape around the bra part so that it doesn't stick to your skin but it won't fall down like an ace bandage would.

also, that shirt is magical. I need one xD

[ZeXMouse]

The wrapping material.. what is that? I bought ace bandages for the first time two years ago and they're already useless. I plan on buying a shirt/vest real soon, but I'm jsut curious.. what material is that? Rubber.. or something? xD

[boredsoha]

@ZeXMouse i didnt no until u asked me!! The binder is made from medical grade 70% nylon and 30% spandex knit XDD it feels like mesh to the touch except not as holey

[NaruJen55]

YOU'RE SHIRT IS AWESOME. :D Thanks for the tips too :)

[generalspicywienerx]

how would you do this if a guy wants to be a girl...... by the by your a dyke

[darcela]

im going to Metrocon this year too! ^^ megacon was okay this year. saturday was FREAKIN CROWDED though. x.x' any way, i have some questions.

-its REALLY hard for me to bind myself and look as flat as you can. it's not safe for me to use ace bandages because my boobs are too big and they can crush my ribs if im not careful. im slim but i have DD boobs so i can never get myself to look very flat. any tips for a busty girl?

-also,did you get a compression top at a local store or did you order it?

[DIn1025]

Damn! lil baby, you be skinny. looking good... um that shirt scares me. i want more boobers! <3

[boredsoha]

@DIn1025 haha i'll easily hand mine over to you XD

[wherestheskyx]

:DDDDDD binding! :D

[NextKazekage]

thought you should know, my Itachi costume would be too expensive, im gonna be Pein instead cuz i get discount!!!

[boredsoha]

@NextKazekage Pein is just as good =] if not better XD

[NextKazekage]

@boredsoha

Pein is a beast XD

I love him... the costume doesnt hav chakra receptors tho, so im a little confused as to what to do bout that' ill prolly make some outta clay and glue dots or something :D

[Zukitata]

where could i get a compression shirt, just at like wal-mart or something?

[BrokenWings94]

@Zukitata no there is underworks and t kingdom
