I am making my very first sea shell top while waiting for my Mertailor tail to arrive! But unfortunately, I have run into a few complications.

I have really big boobs and wear a 34DDD bra. I found some pretty big lion paw shells but I still can't find a way to make the fit properly. I know many people glue the shells to a nude colored bra but I am worried that the bra will start smelling bad after swimming and obviously you can't really put it in he wash. I've also seen it glued to fishnet but it seems like fishnet is to thin to hold big shells and accessories.

Can someone please give me some idea or tips on how to put together this bra that is effective for me considering the large size of my chest.

Thank you so much!
