Large sequin tails...$450?

[Natalie the Mermaid]

I saw on Shelly's website that she sells sequin tails for $450. Does anyone know if her large sequin tails are included in that? Or is it just her sequined fabric tails?

From what I understand, that is just for her sequined fabric tails. Doesn't hurt to send her a message though. She's a lot nicer than people think :)

that's a freaking great deal. I know others who make sequin tails say they wouldn't sell them for less than a couple thousand! I'm glad more tail makers are able to bridge the gap!

I've been debating adding Sequin tails to my list, but I want to use the little ones... So They wouldn't be inexpensive

I don't think it's a matter of materials so much as time, I've read over 500 hours to make a tail with the little sequins. They're too small to be sewn by machine and need to be done by hand. At least with the bigger ones, machines can be used!

The $450 sequined tails are made from pre-bought sequined fabric made into fabric tails. They are not the neoprene and large sequin tails. I believe those sell for over $1000 from her. Also, something that's cool – because you can sew the sequins directly onto the tail, sewing through the sequins themselves to attach them, she can make one in a few days. Sewing the tiny ones by hand can take 4 to 6 months, as noted by some others who have done that.
