So I'm about to get measured for my tail- is there anything I should keep in mind while getting all my measurements so I get a great fit? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

From a mer's point of view make sure you pull the tape measure really tight! It may sound strange, but the tails stretch quite well, so the tighter you pull it, the snugger it will fit, which means less wrinkles, sagging and other unattractive tail traits. Also, coming from a seamstress' point of view more than a mer now, get someone else to measure you, as it will ensure a better measurement, make sure to measure twice and wear thin clothes like tights or even just your underwear or swim bottoms for the most accurate measurements.

Raven said on one of her posts that you should always measure tightly because the silicone stretches and always double if not triple check your measurements.

And on her FB, she actually had to point out to people- if you are going to be putting two legs into your tail, remember to measure around BOTH. lol But I feel bad for whoever didn't get that.

**Marlin** · 08-01-2013, 04:24 PM

Alright- measure tightly, wear thin clothes, get someone else to measure me, and get the measurements multiple times. Thank you for the help! And yes- somehow I will remember that both of my legs go in the tail >.< hahaha.

And Ariel- your tail is GORGEOUS!! I saw the picture and was like-

nice done. And again: love your tail! <3

oh and I like your shoes

**AniaR** · 08-01-2013, 05:22 PM

Hey folks, I just wanted to remind you, that wait times for accessories and tops etc are different from tails. There's no guarantee you'll get everything all at once though Raven does *strive* to do it that way.

**Mermaid Kalliope** · 08-01-2013, 05:41 PM

*shakes fist at phone* can't watch it on mobile. I need flash. :-(

**Mer-Crazy** · 08-01-2013, 07:48 PM

*Takes a deep breath* Okay people, it has been a long, long time in the wait, but here she is! Here is my brand new tail! At the moment she's still in Raven's loving hands, but she will be mine soon! There is also a design photo, just to see what she had to work with, compared to what she made.
