Modest Mermaid Tops??

I'm a bit of a modest mermaid, and while I love shell tops I hate all the décolletage! I would much rather have a top like a Tankini, but I believe it won't be very mermaid-ish :( Any one Have ideas? Opinions? Help?

What do you guys think about my halter style designs??

I love them! I think they look very mermaid-esque!

Oh, good. I thought they would end up looking like last years swimsuits LOL
Thanx, I'm planning on making one or the other but I can't decide...

The second one!

That style has been my favorite for years Glad u like it :)

I agree with Spindrift!

I agree. I like the 2nd one. The top one would be cool if you have layers of netting for the bottom. It would float nicely in the water, but also have that mermaidy flair.

Ohhh, mermaid fashionista we have here! I love the netting idea, sounds beautiful!

My friend is trying to do mermaiding as a profession, so I sew a portion of her tops and accessories because if a glue gun so much as looks at her she has glued herself to the floor. Also, I had a medical issue that left my midsection very scarred up and it's a sore spot for me. I have been trying to thing of creative ways to keep it covered but still be every bit and majestic. not sure how well it will work, but modest mermaids rock *nods nods*

Mermaid Aqua! Please check out mermaidshelly.com "Shell labs" as she makes custom tops to match your tail! I believe they are exactly what you are looking for!!

You could also paint scales or make a nice scaly texture with Sequins if you wanted :> I am personally somewhat of a modest person too~ I don't mind shells..but I don't wanna run around like that lol.

Glad I'm not the only modest mermaid. I love all of your ideas they sound wonderful! I am probably going to make a bikini top out of my leftover tail material and then do fish netting for the bottom section. I'll draw a sketch of it later, but just wanted to express my idea for now :)

Newest design!!!!!!! Feedback please!!!!!!!

Mermaid Corset from Mertailor

I did not steal his design. I don't even look at his site so I wouldn't know, but my design is not like his.
My top has netting for the bottom as well the top. This is my own creation....

Waiting for swatches to come in.....
Still waiting! LOL! I am sooo impatient!

Just because someone else has something that is similar, which I don't really think either of those are like her design, doesn't mean she can't make her own....

Aqua~ I made something like that, I only had one day lol so it's kinda messy but https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater you can see it there. I like your design, you should totally go for it!!
