Looking for neopreen and tail materials in Australia :)

[ocean dreamer]

Hello fellow Mer :)

I'm new to this forum, please forgive me if I make mistakes or post in the wrong places.
I'm very very excited and just bursting to start making my own mermaid tail, a dream I am finally going to make come true! Just a few days ago I got my first monofin an oceanika/ mahina mermaid merfin, and swimming with it was just incredible!!!!!!! Highly highly reccomend! :)
I have now been researching methods to make a beautiful tail.
I found what looks like a great starting tutorial from firepixiefashion blog spot,
I am after getting some 3mm thick neopreen fabric. Does anyone know where best to get this in Australia?

Happy Mermaid bubbles ooOooO

Hi Lisa :D,

Welcome,

I have a thread on here which documents the neoprene tail I am working on and where I bought the fabric and what else I have used, I cannot find the links at the present time as I am at work XP. It's all from Australia, bought over the internet mostly.

Happy swimming
Ilyena

I bought my neoprene in Spotlight. it's not cheap but it's do-able

I looked in my local spotlight and it's all out of neoprene in useable colours and they are discontinuing it :(

Linkron did eventually reply to me, it took them a while! I sent them my order details and now I'm wondering how long it will take them to process my order. Good thing I'm not in a hurry
