The title says it all really ;P
Don't have a tail yet, but hoping to make one soon. Quite literally just bought a finis foil monofin, should be here Saturday, yay!
And tips on how to make a dorsal fin for a fabric tail would be brilliant and well appreciated.

Ah~ My older brother is making a selkie skin suit for himself with flippers and built in goggles so he appears more of a seal than a merman. You aren't far from my area, Perthshire. :)

I'm considering a selkie skin formed from a gray hoodie for next year's Faeriecon. I'd definitely be interested in sharing ideas.
