Sparkle Purple Mermaid Scales Hologram Fish Scale Stretch Spandex Sold by The Yard

Awesome. Beautiful material. Made mermaid tails for centerpieces for an event. Looked great.

This will not work as swim wear. It is see through between the scales and the sun would burn your skin. The scales are small. The description says the scales are 4", but they are about a half inch. It is pretty and sparkly and washed and dried well. It is not heavyweight like the description says.It is absolutely beautiful though and I would buy it again. Just keep in mind that the description is not correct.

Good material for tumbling/swim suits. Only complaint I have is that it does shed sparkles at first. At a couple washes I haven’t had a problem with that.

Cute fabric for a mermaid tail for a stuffed animal. Only about 12 inch square.
