I agree with no bras on mermaids; every culture gets to develop its own norms. Now that you bring it up, though, I wonder whether mermaids would tend to be smaller-chested (less to get in the way of swimming) or larger-chested (because buoyancy makes them less of a disadvantage). I suppose it depends in part on mermaid reproduction -- how much suckling is needed?
Man, the things I don't expect to find myself thinking about when looking at art... :-)
