Thread: Making a tail and top set for a plus size mer?

  1. #1

    Making a tail and top set for a plus size mer?

    Okay, so I am a fat mer. :I I'm in a pants size 20w and bra size 44DD. Anyone have any suggestions for a... sizeable... mer like myself? Not a lot of professionals make tails for my size that aren't a huge amount of fees for custom sizing, at least that I've seen.

    Man, I am one Snarky Sharky.

    :I I feel you. I have a 44 inch butt, a 37 inch waist, and a 42 inch waist to ankle measurement. When I browse the BUY, SELL, OR TRADE group on FB, it makes me feel fat.... LOL. Luckily for me, it's muscle for the most part (although I have a smallish pouch... working on that.), and there's a 7 inch difference. Unluckily, it's really FREAKING BIG.

    I actually have atrophied abdominal muscles because of a botched surgery a few years ago- so I wish mine was muscle xD It'd be really nice not to feel just so.... big, ya kno?

    Time for a technicality!! Chubby mers are more likely to survive in the ocean! It gets cold we need to be warm. :U

    So we're biologically more adapted to it! Go us!

    This is helpful to know, actually. I would like to make scale sheets that are capable of accommodating everyone, so knowing more about the range of waist sizes out there is very helpful. Unfortunately I'm not a tailmaker myself, just making materials for DIYers. You can always try making your own tails!

    Oh!! Well I'm thinking of making my first tail anyway- maybe you'll have some scale sheets I'll buy and use!! note: financially, this may be a few months away xD

    Oh yay, teaching! I completely understand that. And to be fair... Getting a tail in the winter is asking for it to be too big in summer xD

    I'm also a fluffy mer, and that quote is definitely fantastic XD I'm a 42 F and a 22-24, I gained a bunch of wait after I stopped smoking x.x but it is healthier soooooo yeah. I also had that issue when looking at sizing on different sites and have wondered about making my own tail as well. This whole thread was great to read and made me smile(:
