Ever need help on choosing what type of fabric to use for your outfit. How bout even choosing who to cosplay....
This is the place to help figure things out. I know how some people have a hard time choosing between outfits
and having a hard time figuring out how to make pieces for their cosplays. So Here is where
everyone can ask questions about their outfits, post pics for references and what not.
Everyone...lets help each other out to make AB09 the best ever ^_^

Any suggestions for what to make the chains out of? I'm making the charm(s) out of clay so I might need to put the chains in the over with the chains.
Oh, and any binding tips? Ace bandages are starting to kill my chest after I wear them for more than an hour.

Sir Upper Crust the 3rd I need help finighing this, my two major problems are the slingshot and the mask. The slingshot seems simple enough for me to make, but the mask is another story. I've no idea on how to go about getting this started. Any ideas? the mask you can probably just buy a blank one from an art store and work off that. @blow -sorry but i wouldnt have the slitest clue on the chest issue....the girls i know just used either tape or bandages ^^;

@Blow
I use sports tape. Don't use duct tape, because if your binding like I am (I can't wear a bra under due tot he fact that I'm revealing my chest) Take the sports tape, and... how about I just PM this to you? XDDD I feel weird putting this up for all males to see o_o....

Here is one helpful hint for binding, I am using two sports bras that are smaller than my own size, wearing one the normal way and one backwards, it does work a little, also I had to buy ace bandages since the bra trick didn't make me all the way flat. There are tips on binding on the internet too if you want to look smile .

That's what I was going to do if I didn't find one, but I'm going to a costume shop tomorrow for my school's drama club and was hoping to find one there.

I come barring some help :]
Sir Upper Crust the 3rd:
-You can buy a plastic base mask from a craft/art shop. Paper michae(sp?) works wonders on those things, I'm in the processes of making bunches of masks for a class. for the goggles, make them part of the mask. Perhaps use wire to build up the shape or cardboard. For the lenses, you can use plastic, thin plastic used in packaging. And for a tint, paint then 'lenses'.
-Blow Out Your Eardrums-:
For chains, you can use the cheap Styrofoam ones should around Halloween time (Walmart usually carries them, along with iParty) Obviously, that's an issue for most people around this time of the year (I stock up on them >_>;;; ) Try buying plastic ones, use for hanging things like beanie babies?
And for binding, I found an amazing method on Cosplay.com
Use athletics tape, such as Johnsons n' Johnsons. Take the tape and put strips on your chest vertically (up) from your breast to about your shoulder blades. Then run horizontal strips, from there. The vertical ones help push them up for more of a pex look, and provides a base for the across tape. This also works as an 'Open shirt' binding method.
iSEPHORA:
If you can't find any online to buy, making your own should be easy.
A friend of mine used a patch of gauze, and small elastics for her Natsou cosplay last year. It's tedious to make, but still kinda simple. You can buy gauze patches at any pharmacy, and they can be cut as well.
Hope I helped :]
