I have bout $700 USD to buy a tail, I have saved as best as a working mother can living paycheck to paycheck for 3 years to buy a well made mermaid tail. I have made my own fabric tails in this time but really want to purchase a well crafted tail to swim and continue my community work in.
Now here's the unique part. The tail design I am after is one with a fluke in a coop shape. As my mer name suggests I modeled my mersona after the local mermaids of my hometown rivers, the manatees. A lot of tail makers have pre-made molds or pre-cut monofins and either have to charge a considerable fee to change the traditional V design, or do not offer that particular fluke for my price range.
I have seen a few offered on FB from some tail makers, but they either have so-so reviews or no pictures/videos of their work. I have saved and worked hard for a while for this and I don't want to settle.
Hoping to find a hybrid of neoprene and silicone but would be happy with a very detailed fabric tail as well. I have messaged the Mertailor along with about 2 others and for 2 days waited for responses.
Suggestions, or personal recommendations are appreciated in advanced; but please show a pic or video of their work fro ref.
Thank you mers so much for the help and guidance.
