Starfish Bra Top
A mermaid bra top crowned with hand-sculpted foam clay starfish, painted in duochrome teals and blues and encrusted with shells and iridescent scales.

Two textured starfish perch on a bra base, their surfaces ridged and dotted like something pulled from a tide pool, then painted in layered black-to-teal duochrome that shifts purple in the light. Charity Grace builds each starfish on a wire armature wrapped in foam clay, then surrounds them with painted shells, gems, and dangling bead chains for that ocean-encrusted look. The whole thing is swimmable once sealed — perfect for mermaid photoshoots that actually hit the water.
