Large 1/2" Mermaid Scales Fabric 4 Way Stretch Spandex 58“ Sold by The Yard (4 Yards Continues, Turquoise Purple Green)

One of the cheapest options for this color / type of mermaid color but the material did not suffer. Used this to sew a costume last year and it has held up for a full year and several event. Scales well attached material has a nice stretch without being weak. If you are looking for something light and bodysuit / bathing suit type this material would work great. May not be the best option for a skirt but even when stretched skin tight you cannot see through the material.

Just received this fabric and was extremely disappointed to find it was only a lightweight, thin 2-way stretch rather than the 4-way stretch it was advertised as. Amazon should correct the title/description as it's false advertising. Needed to make a formfitting swimsuit like costume top with it, but due to it being only 2-way stretch, it wouldn't work at all. Waste of money and time/effort. Would not recommend.

I've used this company a couple if times for my tails. I ordered the blue this time to make a children's tail; everything was perfect as usual. I added a few pieces of the pink I had previously ordered; to make things really pop. Turned out beautiful!

This fabric is gorgeous and stretchy but it is very delicate. It was relatively easy to sew and has a lovely bounce. Any finished product would definitely be hand wash only and don’t expect it to have a long life. This fabric does not hold up well to wear or temperature. All though it is very thin and there is mesh between the scales, the foil of the shiny scales is not very breathable. I would still recommend this fabric if making an outfit for a special event as it is very beautiful!

This is so perfect for summer shorts, leggings, or swimwear... Just as described..

This fabric is exactly what I was looking for for my Ariel inspired Disney ears! The fabric is great quality & the color pictured is exactly what you get. It does have a stretch to it (but not super stretchy) which made it easy to work with. My friend had no problem using it to make the ears. You can also use hot glue on it & it will not melt. I would highly recommend this fabric. Can't wait to wear my Ariel ears at Disney World next week!

I'm disneybounding as ariel for my Disney trip and bought this to make a skirt. I got 3 yards since it's a one-way pattern but I think 2 would've been enough. The black parts that make the scale design are a little see-thru so I recommend lining it. the scales are 1/2 inch from tip to the bottom of the curve like the description says. I will post a picture when I'm done making the skirt. It also has a shine shift.

Beautiful and a really good price!
