My bad

i wrote a review before and i'm kalli i want to take it back and i see now that they DO tell you that it has shimmers I was very emotional so I am sorry

Where did the shimmer come from?

When I bought the tail I was so excited to see it!! When it came which was actually really fast, I was very upset to see it was a sparkly fabric. I love sparkles but from the wrong angle they look black which makes it very inconvenient for photos and such. In the product photos it doesn't look sparkly and it also doesn't say that it is sparkly so I was actually really upset about this and It kinda ruined my week because it is expensive and I would expect them to add that it has sparkles somewhere or try and show it

LIVING MY CHILDHOOD DREAM!

I bought mermaid tails from this site for my two sisters and Me, and they were amazing!
The limited edition collection has a lovely glittery finish that shines in the sun and underwater, and the color print is so vivid, looking realistically like a real mermaid! I was really impressed!
Overall, it’s pretty easy to get on when you’re dry, and once you’re in the water, as long as you’re a decent swimmer, you’ll be fine.
My youngest sister is nine, and did have a tough time learning how move in the water with the tail on, as it does require a bit of strength, but with practice she got the hang of it!
I’m nineteen, and my other sister is sixteen, and since we’ve been swimming for ages, for us it proved to be no difficulty at all!
We swam with these tails in a lake with repeated use over a couple of weeks, and the colors stayed exactly the same, though I would assume the color would fade if left out in the sun…
For the fit, My youngest sister sized up to a 10-12 so she can grow, but It was a bit loose on her.
Both me and my other sister sized down. I’m 5’9 and typically a M-XL depending on the brand, but I chose a Small adult, and the fit was perfect! The tails stretch A LOT, so if you’re in between sizes, I’d definitely recommend sizing down. My sixteen year old sister is usually a s-m in clothes and chose an xs that seemed to fit great on her! I actually tried her tail, and it fit me too, just a bit snug.
My only critiques /complaints is that
1. the velcro at the fin of the tail is rather cheap, and is only a small rectangle; it would have been nice to have a full strip of velcro to properly close the fin, as it does open up when playing roughly in the water…
2. The monofin isn’t the best quality, I wish it had a divider to keep your feet separated in the inside so they don’t rub together, and wish it was fully sewn shut around the bottom edge to avoid sand from entering…

Overall, We’re super happy with our purchase, this turned our summer into an mako mermaids/ h2o dream!
I’ll definitely be coming back to this site once I save up some more, I’ve got my eye on some of the elite tails..!
