WTB: Custom SILICONE Mermaid Top

[Patches]

I really need a silicone top for a photo shoot I have coming up (wanted to do within
the next two months) that we cannot schedule until I get a new top.
All 3 of the people whom I wanted tops from are apparently busy & cannot make one.

I want it to be tight enough because I always have problems where you
can see down into the top because I never seem to fill it out.
I wear a bra size 32 or 34 A. I would consider purchasing a USED top
if I felt really good about it. I need something that is going to match more than one tail so
it's likely I would go for a really natural seaweed colored top but if anyone has one
please send me photos just in case.

I have problems with every single mermaid top I have & I am just fed up.
SILICONE ONLY. I've tried plain shells not mounted on a bra and absolutely hated it.
My strap free glue on top was a disaster because my breasts were too small so it simply
would not stay put & I spent 3 days getting the medical glue off of my skin.
I have had way too many bad experiences with other types of tops in the past 3 years.
It has been a nightmare so I request silicone ONLY, please.
I'm at the end of my line here. :mad:

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it!

My dream top would look something like (but all options are appreciated. I love
window shopping):

Thank you very much. I will keep that in mind. At this point I am so frustrated any small piece of information is very helpful. (:

If anyone else wants to sell a used top or has suggestions, please let me know!

I am the same exact size as you Patches. I made my own mermaid top using a skin tone bra. The straps are clear plastic so it looks strapless but it is not. The straps can also be removed but I leave them on. The bra itself is meant to be able to be converted into a strapless bra so it is more sturdy. I covered the front with fake plants, beads, pearls, and used E6000 glue to glue some dichroic glass to the center of the top.

After making it I didn't use it. I was so afraid to use it for fear that it would fall off. Then I finally had an opportunity to do a test swim when no one was around if the top did in fact malfunction. I had no problem with it. Then a few weeks ago I went on a weekend trip to Vortex Spring with a bunch of friends. On one of the days I wore my mermaid top. I got complements on the top and when I swam in the spring with my tail and top on I didn't have any problems. The top felt great but of course out of habit I kept touching it to make sure it wasn't falling. It didn't give me a problem though.

If I did however have a problem, I would buy some fishnet and sew it to the bra to make it into a halter top. I have a feeling that a halter style top might hold much better than one with the straps just going over your shoulder.

I know some of the mers on here make and sell silicone starfish. Perhaps you could buy some silicone starfish and make your own top using them and a good bra base that you have tried on and know will work?

Anyways, I wish you lots of luck and since I am the same size as you, I am interested to see what you will end up getting. :)
