I'm here to poke this thread again with more chest-binding inquiries. I have been looking at the following link, specifically the third option (the tri-top chest binder):
http://ftm.underworks.com/
I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if that should be good and safe, and furthermore how to know what size to order! I mean, I don't know how long I'll be wearing it on Halloween. I'm fearful now that I won't even get the day off from work, which would mean I'm only wearing it for a few hours after work from say...midnight to three or four AM (doubtful even that late).
I want to be sure it's safe and okay because I'm very paranoid about this; I'm a very paranoid person in general, and I've heard some really bad things can come of chest binding unsafely.
On another note a good friend wants to go to Genericon (spelling?) next year, and I've never been to a convention, but I considered using this same costume idea there. She mentioned they have something related to Night Vale (a photo shoot, I believe), so I also am considering that whatever chest binder I get is not only safe, but good to use again.
So again, thank you for any further help. I still haven't bought clothes yet. My wig and contacts are still in the mail, probably arriving in the next two days. I'm waiting to get through another week of working out (which I started doing a month ago in an attempt just to get in shape prior).
Blah blah blah, I'll stop rambling. Further help is welcome and appreciated! I've been trying to do some research, but I've been lacking adequate time to do so.
Oh, also, where should I look for glasses just for costume purposes? I like the idea of thicker framed ones with purple frames.
