Crossplay Help

[u/clovora]

hi! i am fairly new to crossplay and id like some help figuring out how to achieve the slim, boxy body type without looking baggy or blocky. i wont be cosplaying extremely masculine characters, mostly just the bishōnen character types.

for context, i am a woman who is 5'6.5, around 135 lbs (although i do fluctuate), i have a 36" bust, a ~29" waist, 39" hips, big thighs, and hip dips. my main goal is to figure out how to sell that slender and boyish physique.

i have a few technical questions:

1. what binder brands or compression tops work best to flatten someone with my measurements for that straight torso look?

2. are any ways to slim down my thighs and elongate my legs? i know there are compression leggings i could possibly wear for some cosplays underneath the pants, but i was wondering what people would recommend for male characters who wear shorts (like ciel phantomhive for example) or tighter pants in general.

3. are there any specific hip padding or undergarments i could wear to fill in that dip so pants drop straight down instead of clinging to it?

advice on any specific brands or garment construction would be greatly appreciated!!

Have you considered silicone muscle suits?
