How To Measure For Your Mermaid Tail

Measuring for your tail is super important – measure a few times to check you’ve got them all correct. While our scuba fabric is stretchy, it won’t stretch too much, so your tail should fit you just right.

I need only a few measurements – but if they are incorrect, your tail will not fit you as it should. I cannot accept a return if the tail is made to the measurements provided that are incorrect. 

Write down your measurements, and measure at least twice to check they are correct. Get a friend or family member to help if you can!

WAIST MEASUREMENT

Your WAIST is the narrowest part of your middle, usually above your belly button.
Measure around the narrowest part, between your chest and hips, or where you would like the top of your tail to sit.

HIP MEASUREMENT

Your HIPS are the widest part of your middle. This may be a little higher or lower than your actual hip bones, if you have a slightly larger booty, then measure that.

 

ANKLE MEASUREMENT

Your ANKLE measurement must be done with a gap between your ankles to accommodate for your monofin. (Please wear your monofin when you measure, or keep a fist-width gap between your ankles if you don’t have your monofin just yet.)

 

WAIST TO FLOOR MEASUREMENT

Lastly, your WAIST to FLOOR measurement is taken from where your waist measurement was done and goes all the way to the floor.

 

WAIST TO MONOFIN TIP MEASUREMENT

Lastly, your WAIST to MONOFIN TIP measurement is taken from where your waist measurement was done and goes all the way to the furthest tip of your monofin (Fish Fin only shown for reference). This is so that your tail has enough length from top to bottom.

 

 

Remember to check, check and check again before sending your measurements through!
