Sea vixen what date are you expecting your first tail?!

[Meronica]

SeaVixen, how much more did they charge you for the custom fluke sculpting? (:

They didn't charge me anything extra for custom fins. I'm not getting a custom fluke just custom extra fins. They will still accommodate you on the fluke though. I got my invoice and it's $3210. That's just the tail charge plus what they normally charge for extra fins and paint design. They are awesome like that!

[Meronica]

Thanks for letting me know! That's really cool of them!

Sea vixen what date are you expecting your first tail?!

Don't have an exact date yet but I'll be getting it sometime in January I'm sure. I'm doing the duct tape dummy and sending the money December 10. Once they receive it and if they aren't already working on someone else's tail they will get started as soon as possible. I'm totally excited!

I did edit my response really quick ^^^^ because I just saw you asked about my tails fluke. I'm not getting a custom fluke but they will work with you if you have something special in mind. They try anything from what I've seen!

[Mermaid Freyja]

That's wonderful! Looking forward to the progress of your tail.
That's also good to know about their custom fluke possibilities, as I've been considering them too, for a first Silicone tail.

Try are a wonderful group to work with!!! They will design a fluke shape if you summit one but no one has done that yet. I actually am having a custom fluke shape designed that we will be working on very soon.

[Mermaid Saoirse]

I'm actually considering asking them about possible lily pad details on a top my mertender wants to purchase as a Christmas gift. Since my mersona is more fresh water based it's extremely hard for me to find any tops that could fit the part.
If I do however, would anyone else be interested in them? I'd rather not request something that would only ever find use from me.

[Mermaid Evolet]

i would totally be interested! ive been searching for a freshwater top quite a while ;-)

[Mermaid Saoirse]

I just asked Mernation over Fb if they have any plans to make freshwater-based tops in the future, and they said no. However they did say they were excited by the idea of lily pad tops and are open to custom top commissions! If in fact my mertender does raise up the money sometime soon I plan on having them make a custom freshwater-styled top.
Just figured I'd let you all know if you were wondering about it

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Shy me wants a full boobied mermaid top... I didn't know all I have to do is send in a bra... Well guess who has started saving for a Mernation bra?

[Mermaid Saoirse]

Congrats!
Do you have any thoughts as to what you want it to look like? It's always good to have an idea of what you're going for before you have the money for it. That way you have a lot of time to devote to thinking about it.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Thanks!
I'll most likely send a fabric sample of my current tail. They don't have to match the pattern, just the colors on it.

[SeaVixen]

I went and bought a bra in a nude color that fits me perfectly for them to use to make my top. The bra is also wireless because that kind is more comfortable. I have it in the box right now ready to go with my duct tape dummy. It helps to make sure the top is a precise fit. Some bras don't fit properly even though it may be your size. They gave a discount for providing the bra. They will paint my tip to match my tail. They are making both at the same time so they can make it match perfectly. I'm so excited. I'm going to try and make sizing as painless and easy for them as possible. I'll even put marks on my dummy so they know where to put my dorsal and pelvic fins. I may even make a dummy of my top chest so they can build my top around "me" and it'll be a perfect fit. I may even go as far as making a dummy of my foot since it's hard to judge shoe size with me to make sure my actual foot fits in the monofin properly. I'll do everything possible to help them make it easier.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Ok. Thanks! I'll remember that when its my turn to send in a bra.

[Mermaid Neri Elvina]

I really want a tail from Mernation!

Guess whose top arrived today on the mail.....

I haven't seen it yet because it was sent to my mom's house, but I'm guessing I'll go there tomorrow.

I may even do a box opening video. It will be fun, I will be screaming in delight in English and my mom in Spanish - she does not know English, apart from "Pleased to meet you", "Chicken, please", "A beer, please" and "Exit right/left".
