Determining the correct size
Mermaid tail what size: waist
The mermaid tail should not be able to slide down while swimming. That is why it is important to look at the circumference of the waist. Measure your waist over your navel. Make sure you do not pull the tape measure too tight, keep a finger between your body and the tape measure. After you have measured the waist, continue measuring the distance from the navel to the ankle.
But what about the length?
Although the waist is the most important, the length should also fit well. Since the fabric is stretchy, you have some leeway here. If the size chart indicates 85 - 94 cm, then this is the ideal length. But if the actual length is 97 cm, the tail will still fit well in this case. A few centimeters of deviation (higher or lower) is not a problem. To measure the length, measure the distance between your navel and your ankle. The best way to measure this is along the side of the leg.
Now that you have both sizes, you can use the size chart to determine the right size. You can find the size chart above.
We often hear that someone prefers to buy a mermaid tail one size larger so they can use it longer. This is understandable, but keep in mind that it may not enhance swimming pleasure and comfort. You can also choose to sell your 'old' tail later and buy a larger size.
If you're between 2 sizes, you can choose the larger one. If it's still a bit too loose, you can easily have the waist taken in.
Note: if you have the waist taken in or the size adjusted, the warranty is void.
