F*ck Flattering shirt
Not sure if the previous poster ever got an answer to this or not…. also I’m fairly new to tumblr so appologies if there is a better way to respond.
Here is a link to Gisela Ramirez’ website. She’s the fantastic Australian designer who makes the F*ck Flattering shirts. Prices listed are in Australian dollars, so if you’re from the US don’t be caught off...

Anonymous asked: Is chubby cosplay necessarily a sexual thing?
cancerously asked: To the previous Anon asking about Jade: Go for it! I'm 5'0" and 150 lbs and I cosplay her :3 Her outfit's really good at hiding chubby parts if you're self-conscious, but don't be! I can't wait to see it :D
captain-benny-of-the-ss-destiel asked: I went to a doctor recently for an annual check-up. Bloodwork, etc. She said, "Your blood sugar's wonderful, your cholesterol is healthy, your blood pressure is fine, and everything else seems to be ok. But you're really fat and I'd still like to place you on an all-liquid diet by placing mesh in your mouth." I wish I were joking. Hell, I wish SHE'D been joking....
Anonymous asked: I am in dire need of some advice... I'm planning on cosplaying as Jade Harley from Homestuck, and I'm 5' 7"/190 lbs. Any tips on making it more, well, fitting for a girl my size? (sorry if I was confusing, it's 3:30 in the morning)
A Response
(I realize this might not be posted, but the ask box apparently has a character limit now, and I really just needed to get this down. I feel very strongly about doctor business, and, well, hopefully the text will show that. This is in response to these two asks: Ask 1 and Ask 2 )
This is for the 5’4” and 154 pound anon: WHAT. If you are, as your doctor says, “dangerously...
Anonymous asked: No. No. Look. I love this blog, and I agree that our 5'4" friend should not stop cosplaying, and she could be absolutely gorgeous, but please don't throw away what a licensed doctor (who has gone through years and years of medical school) has said on the notion that it's simply fat-hate. There ARE medical issues associated with weight, and I highly doubt that he told her to...
Anonymous asked: To the previous anon, i'm 5'5 and weigh about 161, your weight is most certainly NOT horribly obese. I think he's just being an idiot, wow.
Anonymous asked: I'm 5'4 and 154 pounds, and my doctor has said I need to lose weight because I'm 'dangerously overweight.' This has stopped me cosplaying for 7 months because I keep thinking, 'Oh, I couldn't pull her off, look at that skirt/those sleeves/that neckline...' etc. Am I overreacting? I really miss cosplaying but I don't want to embaress myself.
Anonymous asked: do you know of any good binder brands for cosplaying?
A Reminder: I am still on hiatus.
I will come back relatively soonish. I normally still answer personal cosplay questions that are time-sensitive or require a short answer, but I don’t want to post them to the blog, since they really only apply to one or maybe two people and soon the blog will be covered in personal asks since I’m not posting other content. If you had a personally-tailored cosplay question and I...
