Planning this Ursula costume was extremely last minute but when you look at it, it looks like it took a lot of time. I made the costume in 24 hours. Trying to think of how to do the tentacles, I looked through the books at JoAnn Fabric and found the Simplicity 4043 pattern for mermaid … Read more
This Ursula costume was made from a pattern for a long strapless dress. Just cut the top curved instead of straight across and made it about 4 feel too long. Cut the tentacles out and used a different fabric to make the underside of the tentacles. I sewed them together and stuffed. I put hangers in the tips so … Read more
This was the first time I’d even thought to attempt an animal human hybrid costume, and it might be my last. My childhood friend asked if I could transform him into Ursula for Halloween. “Sure,” I said, little did I know I had my work cut out. He’s a big boned guy, but had been … Read more
For this Ursula the Sea Witch costume I started off with a plain black dress that had a sweatheart top. Since I am rather petite (and Ursula is huge), I went with a poofy tool skirt. This could easily have been handmade, but I ran out of time. I bought this one at Walmart for … Read more

I decided to be “Ursula” from “The Little Mermaid” because I wanted to be a character not many people would think to dress up as. I’m a college student, and most of the girls my age tend to go for the more “sexy” character for Halloween. I told my friends about my idea and they didn’t think … Read more
I started with a bustier and a crinkle skirt. I bought a ton of black mesh, and made a tutu by tying cut strips to elastic. This sat under the tentacles, giving them a flowy, under-the-sea look. I cut & sewed the tentacles, stuffed them with wire hangers and bubble wrap, and sealed them over … Read more
