The beadwork is quite lovely.

Yep. All hand sewed because I am crazy. And the shells were all from thrift store necklaces, lol.

Thank you, yes I make them. I'm currently amassing enough to open an Etsy store so I have a variety to show, although I will take custom orders! I will sell them for $50 + shipping to start. PM me if you'd like to be my first customer! You can see some of my others on my Facebook. I make both dry and wet event tops and each has a matching hair accessory.
I also make sequinned corsets and can add color coordinated net halter straps.

This is my first top I've made. Took me about 3 days just waiting for glue to dry in between processes. It's made from a bra, real lions paw clamshells (which are pretty heavy), beads, pearls, colored rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, shells necklaces, a sand dollar charm and a bunch of E6000. It originally matched my first tail that fell apart before I even used it, so I'm not sure how it's going to hold up in the water, but I'm pretty confident in E6000s strength. Well see, my new tail should be here in about a week.ok well, seems like I can't figure out how to upload a photo, lol. It can't be this hard

That is a beautiful top! I love the little flower accents on the shells themselves.

Two I just finished. Might add red net halter straps to the red/orange/yellow one.
And I don't think I ever posted the corset I made for a Christmas Boat Parade. HUGE project, over 2,000 sequins!

Edit: the corset wasn't totally closed because that would have taken an assistant and my pirate was sleeping when I took the pic. I made a corset instead of a top because I figured the extra coverage would help keep me warm. Nope, haha, I froze my gills off!!
Sorry for the bathroom pics!

What. Kind of corset did u use for this I'd love to make one but idk what kind would hold up in water best
