    It's going to probably be one of those slinky fabrics - not really meant for swimwear. You can have them send you test swatches, if you like.

    Oops- didn't see that part, spindrift.

    I do believe that site sometimes specifies not for use with chlorine/pools. Though that might be spandexhouse.

    Why not use the scraps from the tail to make a top? You can piece it together if you need to (for a bigger top or one with more coverage), and it'll match perfectly.

    That one still doesn't say suitable for wimwear. You should definitely order a test swatch first. If I'm not mistaken you can do it for free. And if you list more than one fabric they will send them all to you so that you can compare.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think he is actually using that same fabric. This is yours:
    Content: 80% Nylon 20% Spandex
    But his says its Lycra, which is a brand name fabric.

    Which is odd because both of the pictures look exactly alike

    Really? They seem to be taken by different producers. BUT you are right they totally look similar. My best advice for you is to just get the test swatch. That way you'll know for sure.

    I was comparing this one here: http://spandexworld.com/c3/catalog/product/5929 from your earlier post.
    If the picture you posted is of a different link, I can't tell because I haven't read the description.
