Post by Ash luvs FLCL » Thu May 31, 2007 3:18 am

Does anyone have a sure fire way to bind a female chest to make it seem 4 or 5 sizes flatter or non exsist looking?

Lol, now I have some expreience with this! Nothing like being cast as Edmund from Narnia in a play have having to suffer through tying your chest down for weeks.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but the best way is to buy a sports bra, probably one size smaller than what you would normally wear. Then, go to a stores medical or cosmetical section and look for a box of ace bandage with a 6 inch width. It doesn't have to be ace bandage necissarily, just some kind of elastic bandage. And the longer you can get the bangage, the better. You should, if allowable by your costume, get thicker fabric, and make the costume as baggy as possible.

One last thing, if your costume still looks a bit odd because of how women are hourglass shaped, buy some more elastic bandage and some sort of light padding, and wrap it around your stomach.

SHOCK ABSORBER (I know this is spelt wrong, but I am just so tired...) BRAS!

They can be kinda pricey, but my gosh, do they work! I am a C and I look totally flat with one of these on!

I am a dancer/cheerleader, so these are a must. You can get them from Victoria's Secret, and even chose different supports. They are amazing~!

Good luck to you!
