Help with looking flat like Sephiroth

Anele · 01-03-2004, 01:57 PM

Hey there! I think it's about time I posted about a question like this. As you all know, I'm crossplaying as Sephiroth, and, being female, I would like to figure out how to lose... well... some of that curvature. I heard people talking about ace bandages and sports bras, but if you take a look at Sephiroth, the middle/center of his chest is wide open. I don't want to obscure this area with any bandages (even if they are skin toned) or sports bras. Is there any methods I could use to keep the Sephiroth "look" (way[s] I could wrap the bandages without going over the bare chest area, etc.)? Thanks in advance!

One method is getting skin toned tape and putting nipple patches (likes swimmers) it doesn't effect your breats natural shape and you could use the tape first anchoring the breast (( see the binding tutorial)) and then having the tape across your back press the sides down. If you don't want the flesh toned you can always get the clear kind. If it does help or fi it doesn't I really dunno

There is a very lengthy thread on this topic already, which I believe is sticky in the Crossplay section of the site as well:

Hmmm, sorry about that, Koumori. *bows apologetically* I knew of the already large thread, but I just wanted one thread especially for crossplaying Sephiroth, so it's easy to find, y'know? Thanks for the info, though, Crossplay Girl 4. Much appreciated.

Better a thread that includes other costumes requiring an open-front look, not just Sephiroth. In fact, the sticky binding thread starts out with discussion of the "skin-visible" taping method. Yep, NO VISIBLE BINDING; only skin all the way down the front. (I would say not really recommended for C and up, though.)
