Our first official video showing off the Mertailor tail (the one with severe issues that we reviewed). You can see some of the paint/missing fin issues but we still had fun getting this out to the public. c:

For what its worth the tail looks beautiful in the water. It flows amazingly.Quote:

To not become too repeat-image-offensive, I shall respond to Mermaid Merin in text form!
Merin, even with its deteriorated quality, that tail still looks quite fine. The dorsal in particular reminds me of those fighting fish one sees packaged individually and makes you look very much like an authentic fish in terms of movement, too.
Also, that choice of musical accompaniment took me back to the halcyon days of 1999! Ah, S Club 7: Simon Fuller's vengeance upon the Spice Girls in the days before American Idol....

Thank you! There is one shot where you can clearly see where the paint was not added / is wearing off but it still moves beautifully in the water. She had to be careful with her powerful kicks though, because both the dorsal and another side fin fall off more with each swim. Still, it's got some beautiful form and flow in the water! Very happy with the look in water, despite the physical flaws and in some cases limitations they put on the mermaids. Once we get it fixed up, it'll be amazing!
Both beautiful tails and mermaid. I hope you can fix it too, too good to waste such a beautiful tail.
Merin, it's too bad that the lacking quality of the tail, because it's so freaking beautiful in the water! :jawdrop:
It's so fishlike, and the colors are very pretty.
Thank you! That's the disappointing thing about Mertailor; while his tails move wonderfully and look grand, they have too many issues. Had the tail been perfect I would have considered ordering from him for one of my future personal tails as I love the flow and fishlike movement. Just disappointing. Still, it really is beautiful, especially in color, and we are happy enough with it for the time being!
Please ignore my messy room and horrid picture quality, but this is my first and only tail as of the moment made by Lori Watts of OnceUponAMermaid. Its custom designed and high waisted with a matching top that tucks inside to make it look like its one solid piece. Around the waist is tulle flared out like a peplum skirt, with a matching tulle down the back as a dorsal fin. The only problem is that the monofin falls off my feet way too easily, probably because I am a derp at swimming like a mermaid.

so many pretty, shiny tails!!
Hey, Tetra! I have a Lori Watts tail, too, and I love it. She uses very high quality spandex and gets the sizing just right!
Tetra, you tail is sparkly and pretty, yet I wonder; does the monofin have straps or a manner in which to properly enclose the heel?
Laureen, your tail is so lovely and original! I love the designs!
Tetra, I love your shiny tail and top! Wear lots of socks to tighten your fin around your feet!
Tetra, maybe you can glue velcro to the inside of the straps, then glue the other sides to a pair of neoprene socks. Then always wear those socks when you go swimming.
I've seen a video, where a little girl has the kiddie mermaid fin and someone had cut off the strap and replaced them with neoprene straps for each foot.
I keep getting error message on the video of Marins tale. Is it not android friendly?
PearlieMae=> Thank you ^^ I created this tail in 2 weeks ^^

All the tails in this thread are awesome.
The additions to my black tail. It's pretty much an open fluke so I can slip it on and over the fin. Looks a little rough but it looks great under water. Hoping to get a chance to swim in it again, the first test was awesome except that I found my tail was too loose. After measuring my waist again and weighing myself to see if the fabric had just stretched I found I lost close to 10lbs since I first made this tail at the start of the summer! So another 20 to go and I'll be looking to order a tail from a tail maker.
