Oooo how does that one hold up? I'm looking at the other style because I'm small in that region. Haha

I love it! I feel very well supported and covered (not that I'm terribly large either) and people can't seem to get enough of it. XD I like the other style too, but I preferred the more natural, organic look of this style.
anyone know how long it would take to get a scale top if ordered from Etsy? Are we talking days, weeks, or months to get it??
That really depends...were you in the last batch of etsy orders or the current one? For me, my bravest took six and a half weeks but she was very busy. Don't know, honestly.
Thank you! <3Quote:

Mine's like 2 DAYS before I reatch the limit of 120 :jawdrop:
Raven said She would give me some pictures this week!!
Hey guys so I went for a swim this morning :D It wasn't a very good swim because it was a tiny pool filled with very old people but I have video which I will post later on today :) I have one problem with my tail though, it's a little low in the front and pretty low in the back. I have to wear these legging things just so my butt doesn't hang out :P
XD yeah, that was once of Thalassa's problems, too. When she and I were FINALLY in the pool together, I grabbed the back of it and pulled upward. I practically lifted her out of the pool by her tail. That was the only time it's been over her butt.
Yeah it's fine in the front but the back is annoying :P
yeah silicone is hard to get into. I'm used to mine so it's never an issue. But for mermaid Ama, merwrangler sean literally has to pick her up from the waist line after we've oiled her down, and shake her around til she gets all the way in it. LOL it's kinda hilarious.
Haha a video of that would be great. XD I measured pretty high and in the back for my length because I've got a big booty and don't want it to come up short.
Lorelei- I like the organic look of yours, too, but I think the other style will suit and fit me better. I am practically flat if I don't were a push up. For example, I was looking for a new bikini and came down to two tops; a push up or just the triangles of fabric. When I tried on the fabric, I looked like a child and I'm 23. When I wear my shells, I also look quite flat. :-( So, I'm hoping that the other style can hopefully hide that. I wouldn't "fill" the other.
@Raina, how do you do that without damaging the tail? Do you do it in the water? Also my video is loading :)
Kailani - Then you're probably right to go with the one you're thinking about. :3
Lorelei - Glad to know that you agree! ^_^ One of these days in the future when I can spend money willy-nilly will probably get a seaweed top and the other octo-top... But for now. XP
Freshie - I can't wait to see it!
Kailani - Haha, I totally agree! I'm craving one of her angler tails right now, but I also want one of her starfish tops and seaweed tops. And some hairpieces... and tons of other stuff... XD
I have that same problem in the back. The butt one. I thought it was only me because my butt is pretty huge, haha! I thought of a way of making it stay up, I'll test it out soon and I'll let you guys know to see if it worked!
Yeah, I get the butt thing too! XD Its not so bad when I swim, but if I'm sitting up the people behind me cop an eye-full if I'm not careful and havn't adjusted it properly, haha!
Hmm, I wonder if it'd be possible to order one with a bit more material just in the back? I wouldn't necessarily want the tail to come up over my stomach, but I would prefer it cover my butt x_x
Lorelei - Haha let's start a savings fund! Called "Funds for Raven's Stuff". Hahaha it'd be fun. XP I think that's what my savings account will end up being for, for a while. But like a pirate, a mer's look is never complete! Drats!
As for the butt problem - Did you guys measure from waist to floor from the front, side or back? Also, if from the back, did you take into consideration the curvature of your rear? For example: My Waist to floor measurement is 40" if taken from the side or front, if taken from the back WITH my butt (ha ha) it is 44". A whole 4" longer than the front, which in costuming can mean a lot. (I should know, I sew. >< )
So, for anyone reading this! If you're ordering a tail, makes sure to measure with the LONGEST measurement. It's better to have it a bit long and have to trim than to be too short. Also, refer to Iona's measuring guide. It's pretty sweet. <3
Also, Mizuko... I LOVE your avatar. It's so adorable!!!! Squee!
