You are like me, if possible, I will not wear a top either! But there is some real talent here, some of these tops are breath taking! And, I will need one certainly. But not all the time...

I'm going to be a mermaid at the Grand Junction Renaissance Faire and I made this top. Shells from dollar tree, spray glittered, old bra that the underwire came out of, and yarn to hold the shells onto the bra. No glue. I may add some more things but I wanted to keep it simple.

Maybe add some fishing line to keep it really secure?

Fishing line can be used as a transparent "thread" or you can also buy heavy duty clear thread at fabric/craft stores (but it's essentially the same thing, so you can price-check to see where it's cheaper)

Oh! Haha. The shells are on pretty well. I'm gonna go swimming before the fair to water test it

@ CoyoteWalker: I really like how the color of your shells matches the blue/green shades in your tattoo, it really makes it pop!

In the next few months, I will be adding more realistic neoprene animals: other octopus species, rays, sea turtles, and eels. Down the road I will also be listing faerie products - perhaps even a neoprene dragon or two!

I am in love! I'm hoping you still make these because I didn't see them in your store.

All those tops look so amazing. Especially those seashell tops *-* Unfortunately I can't wear anything that shows cleavage.. because I have none :( (transgender issues...)
At the moment I'm looking for a good variant that shows no cleavage or breasts.

Someone posted this article in another thread a while back: http://www.thelingerieaddict.com/201...ans-women.html

Hope that helps :)

Show off your tops! :)

This is the first top I've made. I'm a very well endowed mer, so shell tops are not even remotely an option. I painted an old bra of mine and just added some netting. I wanted it to look kind of pirate-y.

Attachment 37050

This is a sequin top on which I'm currently working. I'm making it to match my Purple Mermaid Studios tail that's in the works. I don't think I realized how big my boobs are until I started sewing sequins. So. Many. Sequins. And I've only done one cup! [emoji854]

I love how you have blended the color transition from the bottom to the top. The colors remind me of a crashing tropical wave splashed with sea foam.

Here is my more modest mermaid top. I found a lavender tankini at Target and added mermaid bling.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...2c72cda81c.jpg

New Mermaid's NEW TOP!

Attachment 37121Hello fellow merfolk! I am just beginning my mermaid adventures, and decided to make a simple top to start with :3 I feel like it is so underwhelming compared to some of the wonderful works of art, but its all mine, and COVERED in sequins (which I LOVE). When I get my monofin in a few days, I plan on covering it in the same sequins(: Let me know what ya'll think!

I really enjoy looking at other mer-folks deaigns! I recently made my first top. I used resin to cast the sea shells. I found that sea shells them self were heavy when I put many on the top. I also cast a seahorse out of resin for the 'center piece'. I painted it to look like a rainbow seahorse -my favorite! I am in the process of making a top from seaweed in silicone. I'll post a picture when completed.
