Welcome to the miracle world of mermaids, merfolks and all beautiful mystic creatures. I doubt if there is a child that hasn’t dreamed of being a mermaid, splashing her beautiful mermaid tail in the water and saving her prince from drowning.

Making a realistic mermaid tail at home may sound impossible at first but if you follow our step by step guide “How to make a realistic mermaid tail” you will find it pretty easy and simple. We will show you which is the perfect fabric to sew a mermaid tail, what gear you need to buy, how to take your measurements, how exactly to sew it and will give you some nice ideas on decorating the tail.
Once your own mermaid tail is ready you can organize a mermaid party at the pool or use it as an original Halloween costume.
To those of you who prefer a professional looking swimmable mermaid tail we recommend buying one. These tails are not cheap but if you consider all the resources the price comes quite reasonable. A realistic tail is made of a large piece of fabric, at least 2 yards for a basic one. The fabric they use to make mermaid tails is usually spandex (it is what swimsuits are made of too) and it is quite expensive. Don’t forget that for that price you get a monofin included, which alone will cost you at least $25 for a kid size and from $40 to more than $ 250 for an adult size professional monofin.
Some higher quality mermaid tails are made of silicone-latex rubber or neoprene. The neoprene fabric is used for wetsuits and scuba diving. It is thicker than the spandex so it will last much longer than a spandex tail. So you can guess its price is quite high. Another drawback of neoprene mermaid tails is that they come in limited color variations.
If this is the first time you buy a mermaid tail we suggest that you go for a spandex tail in your preferred shimmering color. If you wish the next summer you could buy only the tail skin without the monofin (you already got one with the first tail) and you will pay for it less than $100.
No matter which mermaid tail you choose you must take proper care of it so it lasts longer. Read our tips on how to use and care for your mermaid tail and enjoy your mermaid adventure as long as you wish.
If you want to create a stir this Halloween you will need a mermaid tail costume. A standard mermaid tail won’t do, because you can only swim with it and can’t walk on your feet. Again you may choose to make a beautiful mermaid tail costume at home or you can buy one from our collection. Go to our instructions on how to sew a homemade mermaid costume and make one that is sexy and fits you perfectly. If you don’t have the patience and the skills just browse through our offers and pick the mermaid costume that you like. Don’t forget to make yourself a matching hair-style, put seashell necklace on and a pair of glitter shoes or sandals and you are ready to go to town.
Happy mermaiding!
