This is why i dont run even when they do fit, i get sweaty boobs. so fun.

And I think some nude fabric could work. or just the netting, you can sew in greenery or sequins or pearls That cup shape can definitely add some bewbiness and putting some nice drapey fabric could be really pretty.
(this is a personal question so bear with me) A 38 band size is pretty big, i mean it all depends on the shape of your ribcage,but for a 16 year old who is slim (and based on your picture) , I want to say that you might be in the wrong size bra if you measure around your chest under your breasts, that is your band size. this is the reason that i cut the straps off old bras to make mermaid tops, it actually makes them fit better when I make them tie in the back. Sorry i got off topic.. I'm so passionate about bra sizes now that I've been fitted properly. (30 E/F and I used to obstinately wear a 34 DD) And if you are in fact wearing the right size, my apologies! bra sizes are stupid. and hard to gauge.
There's Wesley, Pearlie! Haha! But yeah, I am in fact wearing the right size unfortunately. The women in my family have larger/wider rib cages sadly. So that plays a huge, annoying factor in my size. Lol But in the case of my problem with my mer top, it is just the cup/boobage that is my problem. Haha And I don't know why I never though of adding a crap ton of bedazzlements to that area on the netting. Great idea. I might try that out. Thanks. Hahaha If that doesn't work I can always do the nude fabric.

Everyone else, I only like sports bras (like many women) for exercise. I play soccer, so a lot bounces. Lol. And I have a few comfy one that I wear when I don't want to wear a regular bra or a sports bra. Haha. But like the fellow females have stated, they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing as well as you'd have to use a lot of resources to cover it to make it look mermaid-y hahaha. But thanks everyone for the input. This is really helping my brain flow.
