    Yes. I'm sure she'll update soon enough. I know she was working on the next video.

    Mermaid Saoirse is correct. The Mernation ladies are some of the sweetest. Mermaid Elodea has some stories on durability of their tails that will make you laugh and praise the toughness of their product. Mine also is durable and thick-walled. I've never had to worry about ripping. On that note, if you order a dorsal, request that it is reinforced with power mesh it's entire length.

    I have seen several of Kariel's tails be baggy at the knees, but they are gorgeous.

    I would recommend Kariel's Tails of Art or Mernation. While Kariel's tails are definitely high up on the rank in quality, Mernation is improving with every new tail.

    I've been in communication with the Mernation team for a long time as I save for my tail and they're some of the sweetest people I've met! They go above and beyond to make sure your questions are answered. Their wait from the time you order to the time you receive your tail is one of the shortest. I've also heard their $2,700 tails are cast thicker than others, which might help ease your worry of durability :o

    Kariel's tails- my gosh I can't speak enough good of how her love for her work shines through with her vibrant fairy-tale-esque style. It might look great for you, Stella. I've heard Kariel is really great at working with her customers to make sure they get the tail they want.

    If you're looking to pick from the more popular tailmakers I'd say try your luck and wait for a Finfolk. The twins may have a long waiting list but with some of their amazing fluke options like the Lotus and Calypso- it could be worth it.

    take advantage of the motion, and catch the next wave!

    You say say to ask mernation to reinforce dorsal with power mesh? Why? I am getting my tail from them.

    Well, it looks like I've finally gotten enough money together to have a silicone tail made.
    But... I don't really know a lot about tailmakers.
    I hear that FinFolk is amazing, but also very expensive and I'm a little worried about the customization - I think I'll want some things a little different than their usual fluke, for example. It would also take like a year to make them (ouch).
    MerBella is gorgeous but some people tell me that the tails are less durable than those from FinFolk.
    The MerTailor is supposedly good but I've heard a lot of horror stories about that, too...

    Does anyone have an idea about where to order? :-)

    Thanks a lot <3

    i highly advise mernation the lady's there are amazeing and Erin truly takes care of you and answered your questions. Their wait time is short. They have different fluke shapes and options on thickness. You should check out both their face book and web sight. This is the destine they have drawn up for me they also have you send in your measurements with a duck tape dummy so they can recreate your shape to make your tail. Name:  IMG_0407.PNG

    I have been looking at Seethroughsea, but have only seen one review on youtube. Is there any forum with seethroughsea reviews? I want to know how the seams look and how their customer service and such is before I put in the money myself
