Mer crazy: when did u just order? :)
I paid on the 14th of August last year (which is the date I count as my order starting) but I don't expect my tail to be finished until August or September, partially because Raven is working on a new-ish technique with mine that is being really difficult and also because I've been so indecisive about the design (it's still being worked on haha) and since it's getting colder here now I've told Raven that I don't mind waiting longer.Quote:

But I made a duck tape dummy for this one, so it'll hopefully fit better.Quote:

Maybe once you get your new one you can sell the tight one. My new tail is skin tight. It looks good but I prefer less tight. Hard on my hips to have so much compression. I'd rather wrinkles lol
Day 407. I found it was most helpful to let go of any expectations of arrival times.
About tight tails: I mesured the knee area WAY to tight on my basic tail and always had major bruises after every swim. I also mesured my ankle area (new tail) a bit wider now. :)
I'm at 150 days out of the quoted 200!
Day 258 for me
I'm probably gonna sound super selfish or stupid when I say this but I don't think I can part with the Starry Night Tail. I would love to send her back to get upgraded over selling her, mostly because there aren't too many mermaids around where I live, so I'd love to have it as a loan tail or a spare one. Perhaps not the smartest decision for someone in my position, but I am too sentimental to sell something so personal that Raven put so much time and effort into for me.Quote:

Oh no we didnt! yes we did ;) bought used raven's personal tails for our company woo woo I tried one on but these will replace for the other girls.
:O ^_^ You DID get the She Creature tail! I was wondering about that on your FB page! That's so exciting! Are you still going to add a tank to your company arsenal? (wow best sentence ever. Look at that double entendre haha)
So odd seeing you in a non-orange tail haha. All the tails are so pretty!
Do they fit well? Since not being made by measurements.
the fit varies they arent made to our personal measurements but I am confident we can manage it wearing tights underneath. I actually really love the fit of the she creature tail sooo comfy. yes still planning on tank it just has a 6 month construction time! we used part of our funds for two new tails, 3 tops, and raven sent my birthday tail too :) all used/recycled tails
Those all look great!
Okay so I got super bored today and made a playlist of all the Merbella unboxing videos I know of. If there are any I've missed if people could tell me so I can add them that'd be great ^_^

SO AWESOME! OMG! Congrats, Raina! I'm SO happy for you! What a surprise to everyone too, I couldn't even recognize you in that photo for a short moment because I just expected it to be someone else. Those tails are SO beautiful! Please share your frankentail too, I wanna see it!
This is just amazing! Congrats! :clap: :clap:
That is amazing!!! Ah, and you bought one of my favorite Merbella tails <3
I will do better photos we having a photoshoot Sunday
Ahhh so cool Raina congrats i am so happy for you!
This is so amazing! Just watched all the pictures on IG so thought I might swim over here! :D And the Unboxing playlist looks awsome! <3
I look forward to the results of today's photosession, Raina! I think the purchase of the used Merbella tails was a wise move; it shall ensure a high-end (pun!) uniformity among your mermaids. I look forward to working with you when the time comes! :mermaid kiss:

my babies!!!
Victoria is wearing my birthday splash franken tail, Mutiny is wearing a blue tail that has been remade and used for product design testing multiple times. BUT THEY BOTH STILL LOOK AMAZING.
Also a few cute behind the scenes:
Victoria honestly looks so good in the Splash look. Can you believe this tail is recycled pieces?

OMG! The poor buried tails! :lol:
I can't wait to see the image results from the shoot, and Raina, you look so good in the whiteish gold tail. It's a beautiful look for you; it looks so nice with your hair.
That is the She-Creature, I presume, and it suits you very well! All of the tails look excellent and so do the mermaids in them! :mermaid kiss:
As someone who clocked in 30 years' worth of 'man hours' though, my sympathies go out to your long-suffering Mermaid Wrangler. He's handling three immobile ladies, each 30+ pounds heavier than normal due to their tails, and quite far from any body of water it seems!
So much envy :swoon::swoon: You all look amazing with them though :) Can't wait to see some more!
You all look so lovely.
It pains my heart with envy. :cry:;)
So pretty, can't wait to see the finished pictures! :D

Gorgeous! The SheCreature tail looks realy good on you. The Frankentail is Amazing too! So is the other tail! My god, they all are!
Man you rock that she-creature tail! It really suits you. Those tails are spectacular by any accounts and given that they are recycled and test pieces, it's really astounding. It's amazing how much of an upgraded look the blended waist gives any of these tails.
What monofins are in all the tails?
