Modest Mermaid Tops??

[Mermiah]

The first top I made was a bit like that I sewed some bits of blue glassy sea looking beads to it in spots too on the netting came out great from the bottom of the Brest down /).- but then I turned the top with an ugly granny square lol I don't know what I was thinking :eyeroll:

I just bought some sports bras with fuller coverage. Going to cover them in the fabric to match the tail, I plan on trying to make.

I've read of other people who use skin colored bras and cover it with stuff.

Well if you still want a top to look mermaid-ish but still modest, I've seen a lot of tops that just appear to be the regular shell bra, but also have a piece of netting,like a fishing net to tie it off like a tankini. But that's just what i've seen others make.

I saw a corset like thing in the bra shop I went to last weekend.

It wasn't a full corset. It was fairly wide under the boobs, and covered the ribs (yes, I tried it on!)

Like a balconette bra, I think that's what its called.

Check out merbella studios, they have awesome tops. Just search merbella tops and you'll come up with tops of all shapes colors and sizes.

The corset thing was probably a long-line bra or a bustier (spelling?)

I finally caved and bought this one in beige... Hopefully, I have enough Daisy print lycra fabric to cover this and make my last tail for winter!

I did a search for "corset bras", so one can try that and see if the style suits you.

I recently bought tankini this to on Amazon to go with the sequin tail I'm making. (I already had bought the belt, scarf, and necklace). I expect to do a lot of library shows in this tail, so I wanted something a little warmer and family friendly. I'll make a freshwater mermaid crown, and be good to go!



BTW, that's not me, lol!

Not a fan of the Monoboob...

[Mermaid Galene]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I see two breasts there...

[Raayvhen]

Also when searching for those structured bras, try searching longline bras.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I see two breasts there...

The Monoboob is when ONE piece of fabric stretches across both breast, that may appears to some as one boob...

Hence, the Monoboob!

Here's another description...

I really want to get one of these tops


and dec it out with sequins or something. I thought it'd be a cool and pretty modest idea

[Raayvhen]

That would be super easy to DIY.

[Mermaid Galene]

Huh. Well, I still see two breasts, and I think the top is beautiful. Just my opinion, and just an option I thought it was worth pointing out.

[Mermaid Galene]

I like those tops, Anichanchu. Looks like there's still a decent chance for spillage over the cups, though.

That's cool. You choose the style you love best. Don't worry about what I said or anyone else. Its just my own personal choice that I do not like the monoboob look.

Most likely. I think I'm gonna try that style though, just with a better upper bit.

[Mermaid Galene]

Anil if you get one of those and modify it, post a pic. It's definitely a cool style!

[Mermaid Galene]

No worries, Irene! Variety is the spice of life!
