Catch of the Day Costume

Catch of the Day Costume

For a friend's Halloween party my husband and I dressed up as Catch of the day costume. He was the fisherman and I was the mermaid that he caught!

To make this (the mermaid)costume I suspended a cardboard box to fit around my waist. I bought some shimmery material from the fabric store and I made a pattern for a small tail and bikini top. I stuffed the tail. Sewed on the bikini top and the tail to a white shirt. To decorate the box I attached some netting to the back(to hide my rear end) and I wrote "Catch of the day" on the front. I also wore black pants so my legs were not visible and put on a wig.

For the Fisherman my husband had a pair of rain pants with suspenders and an old man mask. It was the hit of the party!

Hey,

Last year my husband and I were Bonnie and Clyde, I looked on the internet for original photos, and we dressed accordingly. It was great. We won first place. I have been wondering how we were going to top that,

I have found it, my husband and I love to fish, this will be the winner this year. Thanks for sharing this idea:)

Great idea looks awesome but i don't get how you hid your legs? Were they in the box, or on the ground?
