Choosing Fantasy Characters
The best fantasy characters for a full bust have costumes that already incorporate generous necklines, fitted bodices, or structured garments — elves, goddesses, sorceresses, and armoured warriors all fall into this category. Avoid characters whose canonical costumes depend on a flat-chested silhouette.
Elven Costumes
Elven costumes typically use flowing robes, fitted bodices, and leaf or vine embellishments. These adapt beautifully to a full bust — let out the bodice using an FBA, use stretch fabric for fitted elements, and lean into dramatic necklines rather than working against them.
Warrior & Armour
See our full armour fitting guide for breastplate construction. For fabric-based warrior costumes — bracers, tabards, layered tunics — the layering itself helps accommodate and flatter a full bust.
Sorceress & Mage
Robes, fitted bodices, and dramatic accessories make sorceress characters some of the most flattering for a full chest. Long sleeves, dramatic necklines, and layered fabric all work with the silhouette.
