Hi ladies. This post may ramble a bit, it's also part checklist.
I'm planning to go to a costume party this weekend as a woman and I would like some help to try and make my outfit not too horrible. Trying to pass isn't the goal as most people there will know me, though for some reason I feel I should try to look the part. I don't want to look like a yobbo in a dress. I can handle the colours/styles bit, I just need some help with other CDing bits.
I'm nervous about it, but I don't think anyone will really care as most of them seem to delight in knowing weird people.
Anyway, on with the fun stuff.
I was thinking a something fairly casual and simple; I'm not exactly sure what though. I think I need to have a look around and see what’s available. I'm going shopping with a friend Friday to see what we can find.
I'm 6'2-3"ish (haven't been measured since I was 17), hips went AWOL sometime in childhood and I have fairly solid shoulders. More lanky than V shaped.
My hair and nails are long anyway, so nothing here. Though I need to buy polish. I was thinking of wearing my hair loose so it hangs around my jaw line.
What style of top will help disguise the shoulders? I noticed a housemate was wearing a tank top and her shoulders were more noticeable than normal. The aforementioned friend suggested something with split/ petal like sleeves is she onto something?
As for the bra; a full cup one, right? And what should I fill it with? Shopping friend suggested a padded bra with chicken thigh fillets (EW!), I told her the shove the raw chicken down her shirt but I'm wondering about the bra suggestion?
Skirt/Dress; no pants, if I wanted to wear pants I would go as a man. Are there any styles that may help with the lack of hips? I probably won't wear panties, though maybe. Any tips for bulge concealment?
Hopefully I can get some help from a housemate with makeup. I will also need to bum a purse off one of them.
There will be a camera there, so I'll get a pic to share.
Thank you for any help.
