Lol thanks its just a bikini top from Walmart.
One of three tops I'm in process on right now. I figure being nude and glittery it can go with either of my tails :) Attachment 38220

Some shots of my new top featured in my pool photoshoot about two weeks ago. :) I handmade it. <3 (pictured in my avatar. ;) )

*emerges from lurking* It's here!!
As an early Christmas gift I ordered my scale bra from Mernation early <3
I had them recreate my personal painted bra that I'd made- which I think might be one of the more detailed top designs they've had to work on?
It's so pretty. I've never seen any silicone mermaid gear in person- so this has been surreal ;3;

This is my first and only top ive ever made. I have no artistic talent AT ALL, so id say i did a pretty good job :) Some of the pearls and foliage keeps coming off though. Not sure how to keep everything on there. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0da3a3d897.jpg

That's a gorgeous first bra! :D It definitely looks a lot better than my first one, that's for sure.Quote:

Awhh thank you so much!! Yeah i used e6000 for most of it, and a hot glue gun for some stuff. Its held up pretty well, but i think most of the loss is just from normal wear and tear. Plus i dont think i glued down the fake leaves very well in the first place, but overall its held up quite nicely! It definitally took a few trial and errors before i was able to have a bra that didnt pop off from the weight of the shells!Quote:

The little dangly thingy in the center is flipped. It's really pretty and can be seen on other pictures. Lol
My first swimable top! I may have overdone it on the rhinestones though! Couldn't resist the sparkle!http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3aab8aa909.jpg

Nonsense there is no such thing as too many rhinestones. :p I love the sparkle and it looks like a very good bra base as well. ;)
Thanks! Target was having a buy one get one 50% off sale so I got a blue one to match my ocean deep suntail also, but I haven't decided on a design for it yet.Quote:

Nice top!
I made this beauty over the summer, it's a little tight, but it functions well and I can break it in a bit more so hey. Not too heavy Took me about 5 days because of the glue.

And no you can't have too many sequins. :P
I am a 38H, so no shells for me! Regular bra bases are also super expensive in this size, so I can't exactly just get one to play with when I don't even have one for proper wear yet!
Moving right along, I bought a $5 sports bra and painted it with the same Lumieres that I'll be using for my tail. I am horrible at painting and I've never done this before, so I'd say it's a pretty bang-up job for being done in an hour.

Hot.
Mermaid tail in progress here.
As a mermaid with a bit more wicked personality, this is lovely!Quote:

A parent asked I wear a modest top for her daughters birthday so I made one! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d6191ac2e8.jpg

I started the work on mine today, as I finally found a base bra that fits!!! The seashells aren't exact (they're just placed on as example of my vision) and I still have quite a bit of seaweed to add. Then I'll be blinging it up with pearl beads!
Here's my first top!! The shells are real!!

Thank you so much!! That part fell off as soon as I swam in it (just my luck, right?) but I'm gonna reattach it in a much more successful way!!Quote:
