Hey guys
I ran into a snag with my tails.
I measured my body exactly every inch or so and divided the total measurement in half so that I would get the two sides of fabric to fit my
entire body rather than two GIANT pieces (obviously).
The measurements were all spot on but I tried the tail on and it's very loose around my waist. I guess the neoprene needs a stretch factor
to account for? The weird part is, it fits great on the bottom where my calves and ankles are, it's just super loose up top.
I decided to add a zipper to make getting in and out easier, but at this point, I have to take 2 inches off each side so I think I'm going to
just drop the zipper (is that a wise choice?).
Is there a specific way to measure a tail so that it fits snug? Do you need to take a few extra inches off so it's tight?
Also, I assume that it won't fall off if I do remove the zipper and just slide it on and off.
I'd appreciate the help, guys, thanks!
