Exclamation Halibel Help

I want to cosplay as the manga version of halibel. This outfit has the bottom of her breasts showing, but I can't figure out a way to have her mask and everything on without my breasts falling out everywhere. I know that some people can pull it off without much effort, but I have rather large breasts and I'm not sure what I can do to keep them in place effectively.

For larger sizes, and I understand your feelings I use fashion top to hold them up and to stick the top to them.

Also, I think it would be wise to use a fabric with some give and make use of strong fabric tape to tape your boobs to the shirt, to prevent any shows.

I'm really skepticao about using tape since I've had bad experiences with it. While I was in high school, I was in show choir, and we used some sort of double-sided tape to stick our breasts to our bras so that nothing fell out of place while dancing. 12+ hours later when I had gotten home, peeling the tape off ended up ripping my skin off. I don't want that experience again.

The only other thing I can think of is sock glue, which shouldn't rip off your skin. The only other idea I can think of is wearing an actual bra with the outfit. If you get one near skin color it won't look too bad in pictures. Also for the shirt make sure there is elastic in the bottom of the hem as this will help!

You can actually do the inverse of what my friends do for open chest binding, and it'll prevent the 'tearing off the skin' parts. First you need to buy pasties. They're plastic self-sticky bits that cover your nipples; trust me, you do NOT want to damage that part of your body. Once you've applied that use medical tape to go from the pasties up to your clavicle, or even shoulders if you want. The tape is meant to go on all sorts of skin so it won't rip into you. It's also meant to go on areas that sweat so it won't peel up as easily. All of this will give you under-boobs that shouldn't shift down; however, if you want even more security you can use the fashion tape on the outfit and stick it to the medical tape.
