Cool! Choosing a wig is always so stressful for me. Haha.
For binding, you've probably heard this a dozen times, but do not use ace bandages. It is possible to injure yourself.
DIY binder tut! http://marvinuniverse.tumblr.com/post/34...est-binder
I did this for myself and it works pretty well, however I'm rather small-chested.

You could also order a regular binder from here. There's one style that runs for about 30$.
I buy my pants and shirts and such for male characters at Kohl's, department stores, goodwill, thrift stores etc. If there aren't any actual men's sizes that can fit you, you can try getting larger sizes from the boy's section. A purple sweater vest might be a hard find, but if you see a white one- check the tag. If it's made of a natural fiber, you can dye it purple!
