I get depressed about my fat ass. And my inability to sew.

IIRC from your selfie in the thread a few weeks ago you could do a pretty great fem!Bucky cosplay.

I'm short, have a very narrow waist, and widish hips. It's really not the ideal figure for cosplay, but I do manage with it.

You can look great even without the "ideal" figure or whatever - cosplay is about fun! And learning to sew is not that difficult.

I feel you. I have a fat ass, AND a flat chest, and... it's tough to work with, and makes me angry and bitter sometimes. :| But you should try to learn sewing! It takes practice, but you'll slowly get better and then look back and wonder how you got that far!

There are a lot of cool flat chested female characters to choose from, though. Also, easier crossplay. Also: unless you're half naked, big boobs can be padded on. Now if you have large boobs you're pretty limited in your cosplay options if you want it to look right.

Even if it a half naked character, a lot of people use breastplates cause they don't want to actually be half naked

(Though as a big breasted cosplayer I will say while crossplay is definitely harder, big breasts aren't that limiting imo)

OP here. There are two character I'm currently making cosplays for, Lilith from Darkstalkers and Jinx from League of Legends but when it comes to other female characters OVER THE AGE OF 16 I find it to be really hard to find/think of characters.

I'm an adult woman (although i look a lot younger than I am, which is why I consider Lilith and Jinx to be options) and when I think especially of western characters, especially superheros, it's D cups everywhere.

I think crossplay is really cool but I'm 5'2 and despite being flat I have lady hips.

I have a lot of options for generic characters in settings (Warhammer, World of Warcraft, Darksouls) so I'm not just feeling sorry for myself, but it bums me out that I feel like all the good female characters who aren't pre-teens are uniformly busty. Especially superheros.

Crossplay, my friend! Rejoice - do you know how much it sucks binding big boobs?

Also, nowadays you can get really nice looking boob prosthetics, or tutorials on how to make your own. Go forth and be the sexy girl you want to be!

I would gladly donate some of my boobage to you.

Also I would sell my soul to be able to make a very comfortable costume of Strongarm from Transformers RID (2015) with limited funds and limited resources...

Comfortable I can't promise, but I think you can make that with limited funds if you do it out of cardboard/paper mache and hot glue. You'd be surprised how nice you can make paper mache look. It's just time consuming.

Could always do a human form for Strongarm. I just did swerve at TFcon, which was basically me running around in a hawaiian shirt and a My First Blaster.

I mean, Lina's right there, in the background, as an option. :P

Personally, I've always wanted to do Lord of Nightmares!Lina myself, but I've never felt like I could quite pull it off. Someday, maybe, but for now, I figure I'll play to my strengths. >>;

That would be awesome, but I'd be hard pressed to figure out how to do it. Maybe just do her costume and wig but in golds in yellows and get some LED lighting throughout it?

I wish we could trade, OP. I hate my big boobs because the characters I like to cosplay as are flat-chested girls and skinny guys. Binding sucks so much.

Can we trade? I can't cosplay because my chest is too big.

All the characters I'd like to cosplay are male, and there's no way I'd want to do female versions of them.

I bet you'd look awesome.

It's a Law of Cosplay that the character you most want to cosplay will be the least like you physically. Personally I tend to really really want to do blond characters and I look flat out awful as a blond. Or male characters who wear more formfitting outfits when I've got some Hartman Hips going on.

But do it anyway. Some of the most positive attention I've gotten has been while cosplaying characters who couldn't be less like me physically and I've always been ten thousand times happier cosplaying the characters I loved rather than the ones I looked the most like.

This has never stopped drag queens.

There are tons of characters who don't have big boobs, and if you want to do crossplay, it's MUCH easier to bind small boobs than it is big ones. I'd say you have a bigger variety of characters you can cosplay easily and comfortably than does someone with a large chest.

Even if you had big boobs, I promise they wouldn't look like that. And if they did look like that, you'd have no money left from surgery to do the cosplay.

I get this, but there are a lot of female characters who don't have huge breasts. And if you're up to crossplay, then that opens up limitless possibilities. Also, you can always fake it.

But really just, props for use of a Slayers image.

I'm the opposite. Usually I want to cosplay as a boy or a flat chested character and well, my boobs are simply too big.

Even when I'm not cosplaying at conventions, men laugh and point, 'They're not real!'

Binding sucks and does not work for me.

On a side note, it also sucks when you have to keep buying a shirt size up because oh, you're boobs are too big. So, I envy you OP.

If I could give you a cup size or two I would...since I have more than I need.

On a more serious note, cosplay should be about fun. Do you have to look exactly like the character? No. I mostly cosplay Eli Wallace from Stargate Universe, because it's simple and easy. If I feel like getting dressed up I pull out my Black Widow dress and dress myself up...and then get asked if I'm Peggy Carter because of the cut of the dress and accessories I use.

I recently did Swerve from MTMTE, which was really all about making the blaster he uses. Am I going to look like a robot who runs a bar? No. Am I going to have fun running around in a Hawaiian shirt carrying a colorful blaster that lights up? Yes, and I did. Find that one costume or piece that you have to have...that when you see it all you can think is 'I need this, I need to make this' and then build the rest of the cosplay around it, but have fun. I was thrilled when I finally put that blaster together, but what was even more fun was seeing how happy it made everyone else. The look of absolute delight on a kid and his dad's face when the kid told me he like my blaster and I asked if he wanted to take a picture of it. The grins on the dealers faces when I asked them to hold it while I get my money out to buy something. The smiles as people told me they liked it and then how those smiles got bigger when I told them it lights up. You don't have to look exactly like the character, just have fun.

Silicon breastplates are expensive as hell and I've seen the fluffy-bust tutorial but I don't find it convincing. If it's a costume that completely covers the chest I could do the 2-bras + padding method but that's a lot of discomfort and effort and I'm still going to be the small-breasted Cammy at the convention.

I admit though that the technology is there and I'm being whiny. That's why it's a secret.

Serious question though: I feel for you ladies who have the reverse problem, but who are the flat chested characters you're thinking of? Because whenever I've tried looking up flat characters I usually just find characters who are underage and japanese.
