I love mermaids! I have always wanted to be a mermaid for Halloween but all the costumes I have ever seen are pretty cheap looking. I wanted something that was sexy, form fitting and somewhat “realistic.” I told my friends about my mermaid costume idea and they wanted in as well. There are 7 of … Read more

A group of friends decided to be Disney villains this year. I have to say – over the years I’ve worn my fair share of store bought “cute” costumes, but as I get older, the “cute” phase is over. I no longer want to be something cute on Halloween – I now aim for creative … Read more

I made this costume to go to a cos-play meeting, and used it again at an 80’s-themed costume party. An idea for a costume based on a character like Ursula may sound complicated, and some parts of it were definitely hard for me to do myself, but the costume itself isn’t too complicated.

I kind of backed myself into a corner with this costume, since I will forever have trouble topping it!
