The mermaid tail here curves up in that classic S shape with the fins fanned out wide at the top, and then theres a princess crown floating just above it like it belongs to whoever the mermaid is. Its a clever little combo and the two elements read as one piece even though they are technically separate.
Seven colours total in this one, which means alot of thread changes but the payoff is worth it. The tail scales are done with small satin fill sections laid in a grid pattern, so each scale has its own slight directional stitch and you actually see the individual shapes clearly. Aqua and teal for the main tail body, coral pink on the fin edges, gold thread for the crown, white highlights on the fin tips. Stitch count tops out at 24,636 on the largest 7.5 inch size, minimum is 11,275 at 3.5 inches.
And the density is 505 which keeps it from puckering on light jersey. I run it on a mid-weight cutaway stabiliser and it holds clean. One customer ordered this last month specifically for her daughters birthday jacket and sent photos after, the tail sat perfectly on the back panel without any pulling at the corners.
Comes in 5 sizes. Largest is 7.5 inches wide by 6.51 inches tall, smallest is 3.5 by 3.04 inches. Use a tearaway on woven fabrics like denim or canvas, cutaway for any knit or fleece.
Stitch it on girls clothing, fantasy-themed gifts, bedroom cushions, dance bags. Skip anything sheer because the underlay will show through. Holler if you hit a snag on the download and ill get it sorted.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
