How can you make a realistic looking mermaid tail for a costume?

Answer 1

You can buy a brand new tail from mermagica.com. They have tails that cost $100 and that is less expensive than some. If you don't really want to spend that much of money, you can make your own. To make your own you need a mono fin that you can buy from amazon or a swimming store if you could find one. You need a stretchy water proof fabric that you can get from Joanne Fabrics. You need paper, tape it together then draw your tail then cut it out. There are videos on YouTube that show you how to make it. In about a year or month, depending on how much you use it, it can rip or tear so be careful with your tail. You could even try spells, who knows, they might work. That's probably all I can think of. I hope that helped! :)

Answer 2

This is a challenging question but I think I can help.

You could sew a mermaid tail together and maybe stick on or sew on some foil and color it with different markers. I think this would be a great effect. Sequins would also look good! Try and take inspiration from Ariel from the Disney movie or other mermaids.

Hope this helps!

Find a dress that thins out around the calves and ankles. You can alter an existing dress to make it thinner at the bottom by taking in the seam. Then add some shimmery fabric to the sides to simulate fins. Add sequins and/or glitter to give the impression of scales.

you can get fabric, pillowcase, silky fabric, swim flippers that are stuck together
