Description
AttentionThis does not work for bigger breast sizes.
It has been reported that from C-Cup on, it is hurtful, doesn't sit right and often won't look good. Sorry.
This is my 20k pageviews present for you:
A tutorial about the open-chest binding and body-makeup I did for my Dante-cosplay.

Hey, I realize this is an old post so I don't know if you're already aware or even if you're still using this method, but using tape to bind is super dangerous! Beyond just tearing skin, it could possibly do tissue damage. Since this isn't wrapping all the way around, so I'm not sure if it could hurt your ribs too, but I've seen some really nasty looking bruises from people binding with tape and it doesn't really allow your chest/lungs to expand properly D:
There are a few companies that make skin toned chest binders now (gc2b and shapeshifters, there might be others but I'm not sure) They're not 100 percent safe either, but as long as you get the right size and don't wear it for too long/while physically exerting yourself (like exercising or some something) and you take breaks, they at least won't tear up your skin or bruise your ribs

You're slightly overweight, in other words?

uh i don't think it's a particularly nice thing to say...just letting you know.. calling someone overweight, i mean.Β

If it was an insult, I would have called that person who hid the comment (at least I'm assuming) "fatty" or any other weight-related expletives (is this the right word for it, someone tell me).
π: 0 β©: 1
i donβt know who or why they said it.. my point is that itβs rather rude to call someone fat. just saying. i have no idea who said it, but itβs just not something one should say out loud. common sense, keep it in your head. i mean, i know that i donβt have as severe weight issues like some other people, but i know how it feels to be called fat and it isnβt a good feeling...

Will this disfigure my boobs or in anyway be harmful? It will be my first time binding and I would just like to know...
π: 0 β©: 1
It has the potential to harm your skin, yes. Not deform your breasts, more like it has the possibility to rip at the skin on your breasts and chest. Even if you have your nipples covered, it doesn't account for the sweat + makeup and other conditions by environment or weather.

i was so excited to see this until i read the description...dam my E cups....sexy nurse joy it isΒ Β

Same problem here ^^"
I stopped crossplaying due to my cup size (also E) because it hurt so much everytime...
Since then I genderbend the males I want to do x)
This tutorial helped a friend of mine, so thanks for uploading :3

Nope. Bad girl/boy/whatever gender you are, that is not a good idea.

Actually, I'm a D cup, and I can go all day without it hurting. As long as you do it right, it looks good and isn't painful.

this reassured me...thanks! :- )Β Β
(i think i'm also a d cup, i haven't checked
in a while but i am pretty large chested)

Is there another option than sports tape? I am allergic to latex and whenever I use sports tape, my skin goes all peely and puffy with red blotches which turns into.. ok I wont gross you out anymore, but I just wanna know if I could use some other tape?
π: 0 β©: 2
in case u haven't found it already, i recommend 'nexcare' its great sports tape and its latex free
π: 0 β©: 0
There's latex-free sports tape (I know 'Mueller' brand is latex free, as is 'Jaybird & Mais'). You might also want to look into kinesthesiology tape.

ahhhh you just saved me the trouble of trying to put together my Aladdin cosplay from The LabyrinthΒ of Magi since all he has over his chest is some little bandages i was afraid of my binding falling down since i have had problems with that previously when i used a simple ace bandage (granted it was under a shirt so nothing bad happened it was just uncomfortableΒ XD) but thank you very much! i am going to try this out as soon as i can since i want to try and go to Kumori con this year as Aladdin.

This is REALLY helpful thank you! I'm planning an open shirt cosplay for a con coming up so I will DEFINATELY test out this method beforehand (do you reccommend this method for long periods? ie: no "slips"?)

Thank you!~
Not sure why you have the warning, I used this for my Seymour from FFX cosplay and I'm a cup size D. This one was actually the most comfortable to wear out of the Open Chest tutorials I found. >.>

[link] You rock! I can't wait to try this...I really wish I could figure out how to do it while not having to cover my back though...I have a Marik Ishtar shirtles cosplay challege for myself, though I may never actually figure out how to do it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I use white sports tape, and I find that it's stained by makeup and dirt and ANYTHING very easily. You COULD possibly do all the bindings in white, and then (because sports tape is rather thin) you could cover all the bindings with layers of coverup and foundation. (you might need a second person to help with this... XD)
π: 0 β©: 1
I will try that...Thanks! That's a great idea!
π: 0 β©: 1
XD I bid you extreme good luck and skills with wax, foundation, and makeup in general! (But if you want to attempt a shirtless Marik cosplay.. you must have skills to begin with definitely. )

That's interesting o.o!
Do you fix your clothes to your skin or something?
I would be afraid if the strips were visible.

*reads tutorial* hm...expensive, but I might be able to do it...
*reads description* DAMMIT!!

Doesn't work for larger than C? D: man, what am I going to do o.o
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe use a regular binder and sew a nude-colored top from pleather!

Oh that's actually a really good idea! Thanks I'll try that ^-^
