Good way to bind chest for cosplay without covering shoulder(s)?

Okay, so when I bind, I usually wear a regular sports bra and then I put on a sports bra one size smaller than my usual size and I put it on backwards and pin down the part that goes up onto my throat. This works really well and gets me just about as flat as I can get.

However, I plan on doing a cosplay for a meetup in a week where I'm wearing an XL shirt (er, I'm a medium, so the neck hole with sag on my shoulder) and it'll show part of my shoulder, so I can't do my normal sports bra method, since that goes around my shoulders near my neck.

I know ACE bandages and duct tape are bad and I really don't have time or money to get one of those fancy flattening shirts things, so that's not an option. Idealistically, I'd like to keep both shoulders bare, at least a fair distance around the neck, but if your method only bares one shoulder, then that's fine, I can deal with it.

Any suggestions?

(I'm a C, so it's not too hard to bind, but it's still a little tough)

Please and thank you!!

I'm a DD, and when I needed to bind for my cosplay I got my friend to help me by wrapping tensor bandage around my breasts. It helps if you pull each breast to the side first, to flatten them out more (ex. pull your right breast as far to the right as you can, and vice versa).

Hope I helped!
