Needs Help: Suppressed Mammaries

So a couple of options for this trope have been suggested in the Image Pickin thread, one by me:

The trials a girl has to go to when her misogynistic father insists she's a boy

Honestly I'm torn, I really liked mine but I think Kosha's might be better because it shows Natani's breasts but gets away with the whole NSFW issue by them being covered in fur. Whereas mine might not be as clear?

That page might need some TRS help. It's a trivia trope, but it has a lot of in-universe examples.

Honestly, I'm gonna vote no pic for now just because the page seems confused as to its purpose, but it is marked as a trivia trope so an in-universe picture sounds outside of the intended scope.

Here's a version of 1.2 with some of the extra parts of the character reference page edited out to focus on just the trope:

So... yeah, as written this isn't even a trope, and having an in-universe image as the example feels a bit wrong to me.

The in-universe version is Hidden Buxom by the way, which already has a decent page image.

[up] See I thought Hidden Buxom was about a woman who still presented as female trying to make herself look smaller chested but not flat chested. I misinterpreted this trope as someone with breasts trying to look flat chested to for either chest dysphoria, acting, or disguise purposes.

My first instinct is that that would be The Same, but More, but the Suppressed Mammaries page says:

Hidden Buxom also involves concealing the breasts, but that is more for personal reasons. This trope is about hiding the breasts for a specific task.
Hidden Buxom similarly says:
Not to be confused with Suppressed Mammaries, where a woman (generally an actress) keeps her assets "at bay" temporarily and with a specific goal/task/purpose in mind.
So it seems like both pages' point of comparison implies that this is or can be an in-universe trope. Regardless, seems like both of these pages need to be taken to TRS.

In light of the TRS discussions, I'm just gonna go for no image for now.

[tup]4. I don't see any reason to reject a good image just because a page may go through TRS sometime in the future.

So, the lines mentioned by Morgan were both added unilaterally.

Suppressed Mammaries is clearly meant to be out-of-universe trivia as far as I can tell, so while I'm not a fan of halting things to discuss possible TRS stuff (that's a trope talk thing), I also don't think the image suggestions work since they work on a misinterpretation of what the concept is about.

If suppressed mammaries is out of universe, then imma be bold and suggest 4 for Hidden Buxom

Also, for suppressed mammaries, we can go the "Fictional Version of a Trivia trope where the characters are producing a piece of fiction" route with this side art by the Twokinds author about an AU where the whole comic is actually a film and the characters are Animated Actors

Technically this is both in and out of universe as it's from a manga about cosplay but it might work?

Maybe combined with this panel also or at least the before and after images?

The In-Universe version being Hidden Buxom doesn't seem exactly right, but that's not a question for this thread.

Maybe a live-action example would help assuage the concerns a bit though.

I still prefer this because it explicitly states its for a costume and also shows the before and after:
