I'll take and welcome any advice. I've never cosplayed and as stated in the long opening post, I haven't taken part in Halloween since the age of maybe seven years old, and I'm 24 now. The only motivation to partake and maybe even cosplay someday is having friends to do it with, and it just happens that I've found something my boyfriend and I love equally right in time to do something as a couple and go out with friends.
At the moment, I'm pondering where to hunt pieces of the outfit I want that will fit. I'm thinking a white dress shirt with a tie under a purple sweater vest, but as a girl, how should I go about this? I was also thinking dark dress pants.
I also welcome advice for chest binding options; I might do that, I'm kind of busty and I'd rather it not be really noticed because otherwise, being average weight with pretty straight hips, I could manage looking fairly androgynous, which is what I'm going for.
