Has anybody dealt with manually increasing wig cap size? "One size fits all" is a fucking lie.

I know I have to cut between the wefts and then sew extra elastic and probably a new hair weft to hide the holes, but I really feel like I'm going to ruin it. Anything I should take into consideration? Pic related.

If it's a regular wig you are most likely fine (unless you have a huge head). It's the ponytail ones that are a huge trouble since there's no hair flowing down to hide the fact that the wig doesn't cover all the parts that it should.

You can still pass when you're tall, but it's obviously more difficult. Most short cutesy characters will look pretty off.
Your face is arguably the biggest giveaway in crossplay, and learning how to use makeup to alleviate that the highest art. It takes a lot of practice and I reccomend starting as soon as possible.

>> No.10661267

>>10659188
Get Shapewear such as hip pads and waist cincher to balance out your proportions despite your height.
Makeup/contour to downplay jaw and other masculine facial features.
And in general try to pick characters that play to your strengths. Avoid younger coded/schoolgirl characters or as >>10659537

I'm averse to buying breastforms because I don't really want silicone tiddies with nipples and all that around my house. Does anyone have experience getting some bust definition with regular bras and some padding? I'm not looking to have a large chest contour, just something small that can be noticeable under clothing.

>> No.10665075

>>10651131
If you have the patience and don't want to/can't buy another wig or additional wefts, the option that would be the least damaging to the wefts and would give you the best fit would be to CAREFULLY remove all the wefts from the cap (make sure you cut the stitching that's holding the wefts to the cap and not the sticking that holds the wefts together), and sew them onto a new cap that fits your head better.

>> No.10665077

>>10665075
Forgot to add: once you've removed the wefts from the wig, if attaching them to a new cap seems like an insurmountable task, Ambre Renee on youtube has a great video about sewing wefts to caps. Don't be discouraged by the fact that she's using human hair and a lace piece at the front, black women on YouTube have literally taught me everything I know about wigs and artificial hair.

Looking for a character recommendation for my first crossplay.
- needs to be tall
- preferably blue eyes and/or wearing glasses (I need to wear either my prescriptions glasses or contacts)
- outfit should be simple for a start
- preferably no hip window or cleavage, otherwise my paddings would be revealed
- upper arms should be concealed, as I have quite the muscular bizeps

it wasn't, just trying to make a point about "dress up". Though you do see a lot of photos out there that seem to just be gravure and not actual costumes.

I do have a gothic lolita outfit I tried on a couple times, I wouldn't say it looked bad but I felt silly in something with a tight top and a poofy skirt - it was unbalanced and cumbersome and I don't think would match my personality even if I had a woman's body

I'd like to start crossplaying. My face is more androgynous than your average male, but still clearly male, and I want to try to achieve max femininity. I already have a slim body type. I've thought about following trap guides like pic related but I'm not a tranny and am worried about long-term effects of estrogen having any sort of permanent effect on fertility. Thoughts?

>> No.10680788

>>10680778
That guide is horrible. Onions has plant estrogen, not mammal estrogen. It just takes up the estrogen receptors you have without actually turning on the genes that estrogen turns on, so it won't do anything at all. If you want to be androgynous

>get really low bodyfat through diet / exercise (80% diet, exercise is optional)
>have a good skincare routine
>have a good haircare routine
>remove body and facial hair (laser / electrolysis or shave, wax, epilate)
>wear makeup

Trans hrt does make you infertile for mtf, but it can be reversed by applying testosterone cream to your dick + balls. You'll go back to being infertile when you stop doing this though, and you can't do it longterm or you could get testicular cancer. You would do this only to have a small window to be fertile again if you needed to.

>> No.10680791

>>10680788

If you want your butt to look good you have to do squats.

>> No.10680914

>>10680791
No, there isn't. Estrogen works by binding to receptors on your DNA. That activates your dormant female genes, causing the feminine changes like soft skin, female fat distribution, breast development, etc. There is no food or herbal supplement that will do this. Feminization in humans comes from a highly specific chemical process. If you want a diet that makes you look better, than you should eating a balanced diet centered around vegetables and unprocessed food eaten at a strict calorie limit. This will give you low bodyfat and clearer skin.

>>10680826
Squats work out the thighs more than the ass. You will get a big ass, but your quads will grow proportionally more. There are better exercises, ones that specifically target the ass. Although you should probably do squats as well as those.

Regarding outfits, things you wanna consider concealing are hands, shoulders, and neck a bit.
Miniskirts in general are great, especially if short and poofy/flared heavy. As a guy you also might want to accentuate legs since you're likely taller than most girls. Don't be afraid of wearing heels and being 6'5" either.
Unless you're a manley sized Twink you're gonna be tall. No way around it.

Here's a bit of a "philosophy" question
If a man were to crossplay as a female character who typically dresses in male clothes, say Haruka Tenoh from Sailor Moon, would that mean he's crossdressing?
Technically he is because he's dressing like a female character, but he's in men's clothes

Get over yourself and toss away the idea of it being gay.

A bunch of friends and me dressed up as fairy tale princesses years ago, and it was hilarious as fuck. Many of them were as far from being into proper crossdressing as you could imagine and pretty masculine, but still did it for the fun. And everyone else included also thought it was funny, including their girlfriends.

You're looking for a waist trainer, probably. There are a few on amazon for pretty cheap that'll work well (I use one with steel bones). As for hiding the dick, well, tucking is tucking. You gotta learn to hide the willy, gotta stuff those balls up where they dropped from and tuck your dick behind it. It's not as bad as you'd think it'd be once you're used to it, but yeah, it's gonna hurt the first few times.

Walking foot almost straight in front of the other as if on a line. Good posture in general when you walk. Chin up and smooth enough you could balance a book on your noggin.
Don't spread out when you sit. Voice is too many things to even write about, there's whole YouTube videos for trannies to sound like a women. Short of it is tho, it's not so much pitch, you'll get up to female pitch in a few hours anyway, it's melody and how girls talk that'll make or break it.

Does anyone have a solution for what to do when people get a little too "friendly"?

I made the mistake of not trusting my instincts when this creepy guy locked eyes with me, then my initial suspicions were proven after he pulled up and sat by me when my friend disappeared. Was pretty scary, even when in a packed room. Apparently not scary enough to stop crossplaying at least, but I'm still a bit on edge after that and my next con is technically tomorrow.

But like i said, close friends i have known since forever and sure they might disagree but they won't care, especially if it's carnival or some shit, wouldn't even be the weirdest costume i made.
I don't really like keeping secrets about myself, sure i won't talk about it with some people but i feel intentionally hiding it and making steps so they "never find out" is overkill and just disingenuous.

Squats and deadlifts are great exercises for strength and muscle growth, but they also work the abs and back if done properly, which can detract from achieving the androgynous proportions.

There are a lot of isolation exercises that aren't good for building general strength but can help build muscle definition. Pinterest exercises for gym thots are good but you'll have to use more weight than they do, since most of them are just demonstrating for the camera.

Hip abduction, Hip adduction,
Hip thrust / Butt bridge
Leg Raises
Etc.

You'll want to eat a caloric surplus with enough protein on days where you prioritize isolating the butt and legs and less so on days you do cardio and compound exercises that could divert muscle growth to manly places.

Make sure you are as presentable as possible: Clean, well shaved, fit, etc. Just like with everything else in life attractive people get a free pass at everything. Even if the crossplay is terrible, if you look well kept, the chances of people being grossed out reduce significantly.

On the opposite case, if you look like the otaku stereotype (unkept, fat, smelly, facial hair that look like pubes...), they're 100% going to get grossed out and talk shit about you behind your back.

If you have low bodyfat, getting muscle on your arms won't do much to make your arms conventionally feminine. You could try adding some fat to obscure the manly veins.

If you do want to add muscle and retain the ability to crossplay effectively, you'll need to proportionally add muscle to your lower body, particularly ass and thighs, while avoiding adding definition or mass to calf muscles.

pullups / lateral pulldowns in overhand and underhand grips will add evenly balanced definition and strength to your shoulders and biceps. That is, if you eat. You gotta eat, twigboy.

Here's a better question for both of you. Forget "stop caring" for now and ask "WHY do I care?" You think people are gonna ditch you over something this petty, maybe they aren't worth keeping around at all.

Just more on the ball. There is a reason why people look good in heels - it puts your weight towards the front and forces your ass up and out and your chest forward for balance. It's harder to achieve the same with flats so you have to just place your weight forward like you're in heels.

>> No.10707316

Okay, five pieces of advice:
1. Body proportion is important. Bust and hips about 8-10" bigger around than waist will look pretty feminine.
2. Practice your makeup. Watch youtube tutorials for help getting started.
3. Accept that you might not look great in your costume. Not every outfit looks amazing on every body type. That said, good job on choosing a shirt / vest / skirt that will look decent on most body types (that's why bartenders and waitstaff wear them!)
3. Accept that your first crossplay will probably kind of a mess, even if you've done cosplay before. Have fun with it and know that you'll get better as you do more costumes.
4. Buy decent shoes. Like from a real shoe store. No Pleaser crap.
5. The Flaming Moai is 1 Adelhyde, 1 Bronson Extract, 2 Powdered Delta, 3 Flanergide and 5 Karmotrine; all mixed.

Good luck Jill.

Wear a wig cap. If you're using a nylon one, give it a good stretch before you use it for the first time.
Most of the time you won't need to use toupee tape / topstick or bobby pins to hold your wig in place. I've only needed those in combination with giant hair ornaments which wanted to pull the wig to one side.

It's okay to keep the hip pads a minimal thickness- it all depends on how you want to look. The pads should give you a curved shape that widens as it goes up your leg and then narrows into your waist, with the widest part about the same height as the widest part of your butt. The pads don't need to be very thick if you don't want them to be, as long as you're happy with the shape.

2cm sounds a bit thin, 3cm would probably be better. But here's what I'd do- make a pair out of the 2cm foam. If they're not thick enough, make another smaller pair to go under them. The smaller pair doesn't need to be 2cm thick, you can carve them thinner if you like. Once you're happy with how they look, you can stick them together with hot glue or Super 77 if you like, but you don't have to. They'll stay in place on their own under tights.

Tall shoes can be okay if they're platforms with less than 3" difference between the heel and toe. But more than 3" difference can get uncomfortable real fast. Great for photo shoots, suck for conventions. But here's some advice:

Lock your knees. Walk toe first. Practice, practice, practice. Think of the shoes as stepping stones attached to the balls of your feet- put them down and shift your weight carefully.
