Hi! My name is Mermaid Laguna. I'm from Northern Virginia by the DC area. I just got my first tail for my 20th birthday! I'm excited to meet any mermaids near or far. I hope to make some friends that I can swim with! <3

Oooo yours is beautiful! How does yours fit? Mine fits perfectly except it’s loose around the waist (but that’s because I have a little waist with big Hips and thighs lol)

Sent from my iPhone using MerNetworkLol I have the same problem. But mines a little loose at the waist too, and I have big feet so the monofin is slightly too small. Overall I'm really happy with it tho.

Lol yeah I’m trying to think of a solution to fix the loose waist . I’m not sure if I should try to hem in smaller or just create a net belt to hold it to my waist .. 🧐🧐

Sent from my iPhone using MerNetworkI'm thinking about making a net belt myself. Phantom Mermaid has a video on YouTube of a pretty one she's done.

I’ll have to check it out. I also not have a matching top to my tail . I have a large bust so it’s hard to find things in my size.

Sent from my iPhone using MerNetworkI have the opposite problem with no boobs. Have you considered a clamkini? Or making a top yourself?

What’s a clamkini?!? And I’m considering it but it’s hard to find a bra to use that gives good support and that isn’t too revealing .

Sent from my iPhone using MerNetwork Clamkini! You can buy these from other mermaids on etsy/aquamermaid. Or do what I'm going to do and make one myself! You could add kelp/netting so it isn't too revealing.43057

Sent from my iPhone using MerNetworkYeah I'd recommend a nude bra as a base. I do belly dance at my college and we make our tops with cheap bras from Wal-Mart and decorate them with items from jo Ann fabrics and hobby lobby. You can get a really nice top just by using that.
