Show us your tops!

[Mermaid Amelia]

Hi everyone! I've been really interested in the different types of tops people use, and there are so many out there. We have a show us your tails thread, so why not a show us your top thread? Our tops are a really important part of our mermaid costume and they come in a variety of styles. Is yours bought or did you make it yourself? Is it for dry or wet events? Maybe you have several, which one is your favourite?

This is the first top I made. It is basic silicon shells stuck on to a bikini. This is pre babies so my boobies were a lot smaller and a shell was all I needed to cover them:http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/20/yza6ujet.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/20/aheta4u2.jpg
And then I had my twins (as well as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes) so my body had changed quite a bit. I recycled the silicone shells from the previous top and stuck them on a larger bikini top, I also added a few pearls to decorate the area on the bikini that was not covered by the shells. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/20/ure2y5a5.jpg

I soon needed a new top as the fabric wore quite quickly and I loss a bit of the baby weight. This top is a painted gold bikini with blue netting and pearls http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/20/asyjaqaj.jpg
I have had a few problems with this top being a bit too booby. I think I will buy a professional silicone top when I finish breastfeeding and my boobs stop fluctuating in size.
I'm currently working on a more secure top from a sports bra that I hope will be more appropriate, pics to come soon xx

This makes me want to finish my own top so I can post it. I was initially going to try using plastic turtle shells instead of scallop shells, but it just doesn't look right. I think I'm gonna chicken out and just go with the usual.

I currently have two tops, one that I made and one that I purchased from Merbella Studios.

This one is the raw abalone top I made as my first mermaid bra. I loves it. <3

And this is the octopus top that Raven made for me. I loves it too. :3 I admit, this one is far more comfortable than my shell top, but the abalone's look a lot more 'natural', 'tribal' mermaid.

We already have a thread for this, here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?7476-Show-off-your-tops!-)
It pays to do some searches before you start a thread (in this case, the other thread is actually on the first page of results). It just means we have less clutter and everything is compiled into one thread :)

Bugger. Im having difficulty searching and looking through Mernetwork without a computer. Ive mostly been using phone/ipad. I'm currently logged on to my Dads computer and I can see the difference is HUGE! its way easier to see the threads and search for stuff, where as the app has its limitations. Can I delete this thread then?

Haha I know, I hate browsing on my mobile, it takes fifteen minutes to do something that I can do in 30 seconds on my PC -___-
I'm not sure you can delete your own threads, one of the admin might have to do it. Though, it might be more efficient to merge them? I don't know what works though!
