Hey all, it’s been a while since I started a thread. I hope it’s in the right category.
On to the good stuff!
I am in the process of developing my mersona further as well as a “signature” look, and I’ve realized that while my Fin Fun skins are absolutely beautiful, they are far from unique!
As such, I was looking to purchase a neoprene tail, but I’m unable to find a tailmaker that offers printed/painted neoprene, is within my price range, and hasn’t gone out of business. That’s sad to say, but a few sites I’ve looked at haven’t been updated since 2014 or earlier
I’m looking for something that meets these points:
-less than $400
-preferably 1.5mm+ neoprene
-can fit a cut competitor monofin (30” wide by 27” tall)
-timely turnaround (no more than 2 months preferably but as short as possible)
-customization options
I hope these don’t seem too steep as far as requirements go, but this is my ideal; I’ll compromise on some if necessary.
I wanted to make it myself as it would be quicker and cheaper, but every time I sew something I mess up a tiny part and then chuck it at the wall and pretend it never existed (like my last 3 handmade tails or my renaissance dress...)
I’ve been googling and checking Facebook and Etsy for sellers for 2 weeks now, but either I’m looking in the wrong places or there’s just no one who publicly makes neoprene tails anymore. All I can find are gorgeous $3,000 silicone or $200 fabric, not much in between.
If anyone has links, referrals, even their own shops, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Waves and wishes,
Mermaid Whisper
