The top includes shells made from an iridescent quilted fabric attached to a metallic jersey. The tail is made from a wide variety of fabrics including shantung silk, taffeta, and sequins on jersey. Two slits between the front and back portion of the tail allow for maximum mobility.
The best part of this mermaid costume is that she can run in it!
