This Homemade Girl’s Mermaid Costume was made for my five year old daughter who is absolutely in love with mermaids. It was a pattern that we tweaked a little bit, and we tailored it to fit her just right. I worked on it day and night, for two weeks straight, with the help of my mom.
Every sequin on this costume was sewn on my hand, with a bead on top of each one. Total it was about 25 yards of sequencing we used, since the only ones that matched were sold on a string by the yard. It was time consuming to remove all the sequins from the string but to see the look on my daughter’s face as her costume came together was totally worth every second of the time it took. It is something I think she will cherish for a long time, even as she gets older and can no longer fit it.
This Homemade Girl’s Mermaid Costume was by far the best costume I have seen on Halloween this year. And for that matter, we didn’t even see any other mermaids! That was an added bonus! I hope you like the costume, because we love it.
