Female Cosplay Breastplate Tutorial

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

Our new version of this tutorial is up!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2TFlqR8mtNshtk

[@biblicallyaccurateangel1378]

tbh thats gotta be the most supportive bra in the world considering you’re custom shaping it

[@syltwee]

ON GOD

[@the_official_jaydo]

Yep

[@tendousatori6030]

So chest plate and bra

[@natanielocson28]

[@milily57]

SO TRUE !

[@theproplady]

As an alternative to using foam for the breasts, you could use sections cut from giant shatterproof Christmas ornaments. 8" to 12" ornaments often go on sale around Christmastime. These are easy to cut with a tinsnips and are rigid and paintable with enamel.

I thought I was flat... didn’t think I was that flat :( guess this is my fate

[@geckoinasweater8967]

Hhhhh I guess its like that. for me my chest looks largely out of preportion but when i look at an undershirt i own im like "oh"

[@lemonthepinkjacket606]

Aetheria Being flat is the best, like dude if you had my breast you would be as slow as a turtle and if you do sports it hurts, I mean hurts T-T

[@alusias3183]

Yoi Mochi Tenshi! woah i didnt realise how old this comment was :O Yeah, I agree. Sports suck with any size... and it’s worse the bigger they are

[@danniemikeey579]

I'm so flat that If id mold my back and put it backwards it would look like if I wasn't flat lol

[@sophiel9729]

I feel your pain 💔 being flat chested is just ... not fun

[@papernautcrafts]

I went down memory lane and realized that most of the things I learned from breastplate making I learned from you, waaay back to your QoP cosplay ✨

[@saint6236]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing! I haven't made a breastplate yet but this tutorial has given me enthusiasm that I can do it!

[@FatUnicornCosplay]

I love your tutorials ! there have an awesome quality and are easy to follow ♡

[@acer0255]

So far i've only watch three of your vids, and have learned a lot! Good stuff!

[@Hexapoda.Resident]

Note one: Get a friend or a partner. Result: Spent two days at the pub, forgot to make a breastplate, did try to steal best friends boyfriend in desperation. CosPlay day: Went as Wall-E by wearing a cardboard box and a pair of binoculars.

[@davidfanning1289]

Lmao. Sounds like my attempts

[@TalkingGIJoe]

perfect!

[@Obcordata]

And that was the time... I truly thought I was flat.

[@msnorm_alia4063]

Lovey Dub ....i feel the Same pain. You are not alone.💪

[@MorganLlama18]

I’m on the smaller side myself and I’ve actually found that making my own cosplay is a lot easier because of it. If you’re sewing, you don’t have to worry about darts as much. And if you’re making armor, you won’t have as much of a hassle making it so big and rounded (which seems tricky). I also like to cosplay guys and I don’t have to mess around with binders. A sports bra or 2 works just as well! Count your blessings girl! And don’t let your size hold you back. Cosplay whatever you want and I’m sure you can make your costumes look amazing! Much love to my fellow itty bitty titty committee members 💕 I know you feel ostracized sometimes but take it from me, who’s almost 19 and still hasn’t developed much more, your breast size doesn’t matter a whole lot in the bigger picture. You’re the one who will notice it the most. And if anyone notices and acts as though having a smaller chest is a bad thing, they aren’t worth it. Surround yourself with people who love and accept you and it’ll rub off you. I wish I would’ve known that at a younger age when all my “friends” started developing and they made fun of me for not filling in my training bras. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. You don’t need big boobs to be beautiful to others and, most importantly, to feel beautiful yourself. Sorry for going on a rant but I’m very passionate about this subject 😅. Hope this helped you out a bit!

[@meisterpropper7743]

Small boobs are beautiful too don't worry

[@vanne4483]

Sameee 😂

I finally found the jinx cosplayer I was searching for sooo freaking long😍😍😍 my boyfriend loved it since she's his main😂

[@incineratei]

I would really love it if you made longer videos too, I love the detailing and every time you skipped over i was like nooo i wanna see everything xD

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

This is why I make tutorial books for the costumes so I can show every step in detail :) this breastplate has the comolete step by step detailing, lights, fur, paint as well as the rest of the costume step by step all in the death guard book :)

[@marcixchumarcixchu6920]

This was the time i become a crossdresser cosplayer..THX FOR THIS❤️😍 There looking gorgeous

[@isabelmorgan7577]

This is a great tutorial easy to follow will definitely give this a go . I find using pattern weights help to keep the pattern in place while tracing :)

[@faroshscale]

It took me like 5 minutes to realize you were saying "pattern" and not "patton"

[@D1ST0RT10N1ST]

Same tho! I love patton, by the way

[@bubblebuilds1864]

Wait she was saying pattern

[@nikkiblackwelll]

Awesome tutorial!! I can't wait to start armour builds on my channel! Improving build techniques is so satisfying!

[@questioningeverything6174]

hi! i know that this has almost nothing to do with the video but i just bought your cosplay makeup tips and tricks book. and i gotta say..its really helpfulll!! i would definetly recommend buying it! there are a lot of techniques and as a kinda new cosplayer i am extremely thankful :-)

[@kurinwonderful]

You’re amazing!! Love the tutorial and the way u spoke and presented the steps! I will definitely take note of these. Learned so much!!

[@snowylily]

Oof I have a flat chest so no way that this would work for me :')

[@selinnazyilmaz9540]

Aibo ERS-311 flat chest buddy’s, ha ha... 🤔😐🙁

[@friendlyrockmerchant6601]

Bra filling?

[@MorganLlama18]

Hey, as a fellow itty bitty titty committee member, I’ve found that it’s actually easier to make cosplay items like this if you have a smaller chest. You don’t have to worry about rounding the plates out as much, it stays on easier most of the time, and you don’t have to worry about popping out if it while at a convention. You’ve got this! Cosplay whatever the heck you want!

[@lilian10800]

Itll work just the same :) give it a try and see

[@galaxy_pawsgaminganimation4947]

Same lol.

[@Valkyr713]

This video has changed my life, thank you so much, I can finally make the Akasha Costume of my dreams

[@Annalorraine2x]

I am new to this and learning how do you pick what costume to make

[@isawcornflakes6201]

i have so much respect for cosplayers who make their own props and everything 😭✋ pls the desicatioN

[@mihawksanklebiter]

This is helpful! I messed up my bathing suit for my mirajane halphas cosplay so i was just gonna use EVA foam

[@VeginMatt]

Googly eyes...GOOGLY EYES?! I kinda want to make googly eye breastplate now, just so I can say "hey! My eyes are down here!" So thanks for that! XD

[@barbaluti]

So many talented people! I'm just happy watching the videos ^^

[@alexandralite835]

If the Worbla forms bubble it means the heat is to high, you can avoid the bubbles by using a gentle setting on your hair dryer.

[@Akira-ec8ch]

This absolutely saved my Urbosa Cosplay

[@alex53nicebicrush71]

Can you make a tutorial on this for kids

[@fuzzy5865]

I literally used your old tutorial like a month ago lol.

[@bonafidebonnie9313]

May I ask why you cut out pieces of the cups to make them have open mouths like PAC man to glue them together? Could you just cut out the circles then heat them over the ornament? Thanks

[@jeffreyinada8940]

Any tips on where to make cut marks to flatten the pattern for round area of ur breat plate. Thx

[@nikolaishriver7922]

doing some research on making a leather Ren faire breastplate for my GF, how do you determine that V shape size from center to edges, of the cup, to create the curvature? (at 1:30 on the left[your right])?

[@raine12578]

plan to use this method to make my own prom dress! do you know how i would go about getting a silver look to the final product? thank you for this tutorial though!

[@hawkeyestegosaurus5680]

That's pretty amazing, I would have done this so wrong if I tried it without watching this, not that I make cosplay anyway. But it's fun to learn regardless.

[@silencerza9108]

I love the new tutorial! The previous wasn't bad and it was super helpful at the time!

[@ladykageia]

I feel stupid asking this...how do you know how much to cut out of the cup to get the correct curvature? I hope that question made sense

[@bonafidebonnie9313]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out as well.

[@Frosty_Cisa]

Cómo amo tus tutoriales wey, me han ayudado mucho a aprender algo de este nuevo mundo al cuál estoy entrando, sigue así 💖 Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@olivethepugs6093]

I am inspired to make a bulbasaur armour set!!

[@cainking5881]

I've been watching you since that first tutorial 😍

[@BritsyElyse]

How do you acquire the acrylic sphere?

[@mandatofu]

i've been wondering too !!

[@holodecked9461]

Same.

[@charleslynchi8092]

Probs just a craft shop

[@JamesBop-xu3nq]

Your really good video was simple and straight to the point

[@aquatiger8]

I'm totally new to cosplaying 😅 but I'm planning to cosplay as Alathea from the City of Gold webcomic and decided to use her dress design with a breastplate. I'm so glad I came across this video, it's so easy to follow and thorough. I'm feeling a lot less nervous about making the outfit now. dunno when I'll get to make it since I'm in the process of losing weight and I don't wanna shape it for my body while my shape is still in flux

[@Leen-fy6bi]

This helped me bunches for making my breastplate!! (it's my first time). Thank you so much for the vid.

[@soniagonzalez6614]

Show us more! How do you create all this details???

[@yoshinochan9557]

How do i put the assessories on it? What material do i use? What colors to draw on?

[@publicunknown]

wait.....SO THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE BETTER AT WORBLA THAN FOAM? okay I'm not insane bc I loveeee worbla but I cant use foam at ALL it doesnt make sense in my head.

[@HrvatskiHistory]

Worbla is classified for intermediate/advanced cosplayers primarily because of cost I think. Like they’re willing to spend more for the better product, and know they won’t be wasting money because they know what they are doing. Foam is classified for beginners because it’s cheap so it’s easier to replace if you make a mistake.

[@GXedits0]

Where can you get the plastic circle thing?

[@ladygoth7270]

Can I use a regular hairdryer insted of the heat gun? Or do I have to use a heat gun? Also can I use super glue or dose it have to be contact glue?

[@kenziehurlock]

Would this method work for a mermaid swim top? I want to make a shell bra for swimming in and I thought this might work. Could the foam and worbla be attached to a bra? If so would contact cement be good for that or a different glue?

[@theamazinspazz07]

Thanks for the updated breastplate tutorial! Defiantly gonna try the worbla on the inside of the armor trick.

[@daisyiris]

i struggle to gluing the peices with out the seams gluing in the middle while I try gluing the ends :(

[@sangreserrana4824]

I love this channel ❤❤

[@pateeimo5143]

May I know how you painted the armor and how to make the xtra details on the design?

[@HausOfLuevano]

How can anyone dislike this? Creative and informative! Can this technique be used for pectoral armor in men?

[@groundbreakerexplore]

Thank you so much for this tutorial video.

[@theluckykoi2157]

Would a hair dryer work in substitute of a heatgun? Or is it not hot enough?

[@andreagonzph]

same question

[@electraheart7745]

It works but not nearly as fast as a heat gun. Hairdryers go to 200 degrees while heat gums can vary from 750-1000

[@literaltrash5421]

Ok quick question could I substitute a hair dryer instead of a heat gun or would that not work?

[@Wobbly_berry7]

You can use a hair dryer right?

[@solecito122]

Can you use cement glue instead?

[@mikalaalatorre6322]

Hey! I need help. I'm trying to make a costume for halloween. I've bought two different types of glue and none of them are drying as fast or nicely as yours does in the video. Can you give me a suggestion of which brand to buy?

[@alexandralite835]

Am I able to use the pattern with normal fabrics?

[@rhianna5158]

This video was very helpful for me as a cosplayer that can't find a perfect breastplste to fit my bodytype I did this breastplate because I wanted to do a cosplay with it for a convention and I had no problems it's also a really good method to make it and I would recommend for anyone who needs to get a breastplate but can't find or can't find one to fit them properly

[@tjmulligan3086]

Where can I get that acrylic sphere thing or one like it? I honestly use my crystal ball but I like the inner and outer halves better!

[@angelpikul3131]

Okay I'm not sure if you will ever see this but if you do I have a question. I want to make serana from skyrims type breastplate but cropped and sexier? How would I go about doing so?

[@sydney_gacha1289]

As someone without breasts but still female what should I do if I need a breast plate?

[@kaifinch9997]

Is it possible to use a blow dryer if you don't have a heat gun?

[@a71967]

Can you do part two? Of how to decorate and color it

[@itzpuphy9458]

If you know what the series Wing of Fire is I’m making a Glory cosplay. Also this helped a lot thank youuuuuuuuuuu❤️🤘

[@joannawong4151]

Hello, what size of acrylic sphere do you use? What is the diameter? There are a few options to choose from and I'm not sure which size is the best.

[@brooklynnstevens5427]

Is there any other thing you can use instead of a heat gun if you don’t have one

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

You could use a hairdryer, but it will be harder to work with the foam since heat guns generate a lot more heat

[@brooklynnstevens5427]

@@KinpatsuCosplay ok thank you

[@kendracollins9870]

My mom got pissed when I told her I wanted to do cosplay

[@figarogarica]

Dude that sucks :(((( how come? I don’t see harm in having a hobby like that

[@kendracollins9870]

@@figarogarica she thinks its freaky

[@jellyfilling7827]

Ack that hurts I used to live with my grandmother and she always told me it was a sin to try and wear makeup and cosplay and be a “whore”

[@davidfanning1289]

You do you. An open minded parent would see this as an avenue for a profession maybe in fashion design. Plus the skills needed are ones used for life, like sewing and working with different materials, thinking outside the box to solve problems for designing. Creative passions should never be discouraged, unless you're making human skin lampshades or something

[@noodleznoodlez6185]

kendra collins Same

[@beanlynch]

The question I have is what are the best products to buy for this. What I mean is, brand and minimal length by width size of the EVA foam, the Worbla sheets (you show one that rolls out but I haven't found that yet), what size acrylic sphere (and any other details about that) and if there is a kind of heat gun that works best and a brand of contact glue that works best. Also, it looks like Worbla can get quite a bit more expensive than the foam. If you don't use Worbla would it be better to use 6 mm foam? Are there brands of either that you recommend either for quality or price?

[@scarletinsanity]

What did you use to make it glow

[@krose3185]

Kinda wanna see how you detail the rest of it haha. Just more foam for those raised portions?

[@JudysRevenge]

Awesome! Do you know how to make the cups look like shiny porcelain?????

[@orbitalwig8333]

I used this for my drag bodices

[@ResidentEvilReVerseUniverse]

Guys what tool is she using for heating the worble

[@emilyhoce1043]

Are you able to share where you got the mold you used for the cups (or even what that item is called)? Thank you!

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

You should be able to get clear orbs in various sizes on Amazon! They're just clear plastic Christmas ornaments funny enough 😂

[@jellyfilling7827]

I’m not flat I’m actually quite top heavy so it’s hard to find good cosplay/ have enough cloth for my own cosplay

[@mtrimm79]

Is there another name for the contact glue? When i look it up all i can find is cement contact glue that comes in a bottle, or hobby cement. Thanks in advance😊

[@pokelolmc6826]

Yes, contact cement is basically another name for contact glue. I’ve used contact cement from a hardware store for EVA cosplay armour before. Despite the name, it’s not actually “cement” - the stuff I used was a semi-runny, stringy glue. I used stuff from a can instead of a squeeze tube like the video, but it should be the same stuff.

[@jessieuddin5208]

I have a question so you don't add worbla to the cups, Just the band. I am following your tutorial but my cups are much larger and I'm finding it a little hard to shape over the mould. Im worried that it might be flimsy? Do you think I should add worbla or not?

[@shaybekel4974]

What glue is used???? Also amazing video it helped me soooooo much😁

[@Helena-wt5ll]

I’m going to make a Thor (Jane Foster) cosplay for comic con because since this year we’ll probably or have one I’ll have enough time to try to make it without panicking, it’s going to be my very first cosplay so please wish me luck (I’m gonna need it) lol
