Another tutorial! But this time it's for cross-playing :) For those people who wants to cross-play here are some of the tips that could help you in cross-playing.
Beginner's Level
This tier is for those just beginning cross-play or who are interested in getting started soon. Here we'll introduce basic tips for "pulling off"
a male costume.
Use Shoulder Pads to Bulk Up!
"I've got wimpy shoulders, so I always use pads! I don't just put them
in my undershirt either, but in shirts and jackets too." Some people
are sticklers for details ~ if you haven't got the upper body of a man,
you may not pass.
Watch the Shape of Your Heel When Choosing Shoes!
"Thin-heeled boots throw off the balance of your body. With thin heels,
you'll have a delicate footstep and an appearance that's distinctly
feminine." When you buy boots, be sure to choose ones with a heel that
will suit your costume. We recommend fat, flat heels on chunky
platforms.
Choose Underwear that Won't Show Through Your Costume!
"I was wearing a transparent over-shirt one day and didn't realize it. I
thought I was passing well and took a ton of photos. But after looking
forward to them... when they came out, you could see my camisole in all
of them!! (tears)" Light-colored uniform shirts, light grey or tan
pants, etc can be transparent! If you think your underwear might show
through your costume, be sure to match your camisole and underpants to
your costume or choose flesh tones undergarments. If you're binding,
remember to match your binder or to use flesh-toned tapes.
