Description

Here is the mermaid costume I made. The tail is made of aluminium scales; 3000 or so of them. I sewed the tail fin and ear fins out of fabric and used wire to help them keep their form. I knitted the scales together with cotton yarn to keep it cool and for strength. The top is knitted as well. I did not make the bra, but I did hand bead the top of it with glass beads and freshwater pearls. I knitted the shawl too.

The make-up was done by :iconartisticangel17: and the photo was taken by the awesome people at costume con 32.
