I'm not a fit man and I want to cosplay a topless character (Specifically a genderbend Ursula from The Little Mermaid). Can I get away with wearing a skivvy or something?
Of course you can! Cosplay isn’t about expectations of beauty. In fact, it sounds like you have a delightful concept! They make body shapers for people of any shape or size. You can explore everything from athletic compression wear to more traditional body silhouette enhancers. Our best tip would be to make sure that it matches your skin tone if it is intended to be nude (or match it to your makeup color if you are using body paint) with dye. Find ways to disguise the hems (costume-appropriate cuffs at the wrists if it is long sleeved, tucking it in at the waist if it ends at the waist, etc) that way it will give you more of a nude effect if that is your desired outcome.
Hope that is helpful! Best of luck!
