Sarah's Silks Small Rainbow Mermaid Tail

This mermaid tail measures 25 inches in length, a full-length shape sewn from Jacquard silk. The elastic waistband stretches to fit a waist between 20 and 27.5 inches, so it sits snugly while a child moves and swishes. It fits most three to four year olds. Hand-painted in the Rainbow colorway, each tail carries slightly different color placement.

It is sewn from Jacquard silk, giving it a smooth, silky-soft feel and a gentle drape that swishes as a child walks. The Rainbow colorway is hand-painted, so the blend of colors shifts a little from tail to tail. That small variation is part of the handmade character rather than a flaw.

An elastic waistband runs through the top of the tail and stretches to fit waists from 20 to 27.5 inches. Children can pull the tail on and off without help, and the elastic holds it in place during active play. This fit suits most three to four year olds.

Slip it on for sea and ocean pretend, gliding across the living-room floor with dolphins, turtles and coral in mind. Wrap a favorite top with a matching silk to complete the look, or add a head wrap for a merman style. The open-ended shape leaves the story up to the child.

Treat the silk gently. Hand-wash in cool water with a mild soap, then reshape and hang it to dry away from direct sun. Avoid wringing or harsh detergents so the hand-painted color stays bright. Because the dye is applied by hand, wash it on its own the first time to be safe.

Yes. Each Rainbow tail is hand-painted, so the exact spread and blending of colors is a little different on every piece. Two tails from the same batch will look like clear siblings but never be identical. This is a normal mark of hand-dyed silk and gives each one its own character.
