WHOA! That top is absolutely gorgeous. I'm all about it!! [emoji177] Super nervous about receiving my tail now though. I think I'd just about die if it showed up after such a long wait and ended up being defective. Idk what I'd do with myself, I'm so sorry about your tail hun.Quote:

Thanks for sharing :)
Very pretty pic and top! Can't wait to find out what other cool stuff Finfolk has in store for us.
Another wonderful review!!! Mermaid Gemini shows this tail in action in her review, and also shows what a tail looks like on someone taller. It would be great if FinFolk offered Mythic Tail accessories, for example, an Ariel waist-fin which would provide additional coverage if the body of the tail is slightly too short...I have a feeling I might be in need of one! (I ordered a size small but I am 5'7...
Have a look!

@Meerine, please let me know how a small size fits you! I haven't ordered anything yet, but I would also need a Small size, and I'm 5'9...
Will do! The taller woman featured in Mermaid Gemini's video is said to be 5'8 and I think the conclusion was that the body of the tail was too short--it seemed to fit everywhere else and I thought she looked great, but the tail sits very, very low, which might be ok for some. I am mostly concerned about the potential for muffin-tops and the tail sliding down when swimming/dolphin kicking...But I will let you know!Quote:

Right! There's a thread on the fins here: https:http:////r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...Mer-cessories!Quote:

I hope FinFolk offer a top like that in the future as an alternative to their very lovely silicone tops, or perhaps they can offer an extra scale pack that can be used to repair one's tail and/or to create one's own top.Quote:

Despite not being the biggest fan of these tails, I love watching the reviews and seeing photos of people in them :)
I know the tails come with a few extra scales, but I wonder if in the future they will sell small amounts separately? Both because I'd be extra paranoid about breaking scales and because it would be fun to have some extras. Maybe even a grab bag of random color scales? Think of all the different hair ornaments and jewelry you could do with extra scales! Earrings, hair clip, hat pin...
Or even like someone has previously mentioned, a sew-your-own-tail! People could combine whatever colours they wanted or make unique designs.Quote:

Mermaid Gemini's tail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLVBHhZyxoM&t=7s ) the scales on hers are obviously over lapped.
What is going on? Can anyone else see this or is it just me? I am MEGA worried now. I want the scales on mine to be over lapped.
I have emailed the twins regarding this issue and hope to bring it to their attention before they dispatch my tail. Nope I haven't received it yet *sob*
Wow I just watched her video. No my scales are pretty much in a line almost all over the tail. It's only in some spots, like where the hip fins would go and the scales directly above the fluke, that they overlap.Quote:

I'm not sure. I've tried emailing the twins too, about other things like my leggings. I was hoping since they haven't shipped yet maybe they could bring it to Mermania? I emailed about the mystery gift too, but they're just so busy I get the automated email instead.
I'm thinking MAYBE perhaps its because Saren doesnt have fins and gemini does ?? maybe that is why the stitching of the scales are different ?? but i cannot see whyQuote:

I hope it's not size that makes the difference. It would be kinda crappy if tails that are larger have larger gaps between the scales. I'm scared for that now. :( like actually really concerned. 😬

I noticed that too and was surprised they were all in a line..I am a bit worried too
I wonder how many are still waiting for their tails (sold during presale)
I think the scales spacing is due to how much the size fits the person, i.e. where you fall in their measurements range. The scales are spaced a little more when Saren puts it on but are overlapped when it's laid down except for the parts where it's folded. Looking at Gemini's video, it does look a little baggier on her which explains why her scales don't stretch.
Looking at their sizing chart, there's a two inch difference between the sizes so if you fall in the middle of a size, you're mostly likely going to go down since it is neoprene and it does stretch. The website states

Sizing runs large. When in doubt, size down. The neoprene is moderately stretchy. Don't forget to check the measurement chart for most accurate size estimates.
They're handmade so there will be slight variance, but shouldn't be too much.
I agree that I think the issue may be due to stretch when the wearer puts it on. The tails are brand new, so there are bound to be some tweaks that can be made. I'm sure with feedback, the twins will be able to improve future tails. Speaking of which, get so excited y'all. The twins have been posting amazing things on their personal Facebooks and let me tell you, the Spring/Summer Mythic line is gonna be lit. 🔥🔥
