Info:
The wig was the most difficult aspect of this costume, but it really did not take too many hours. It's a long wig with a claw-clip wig extension for the top part. The details were made with random items including, but not limited to, booktape, tubing, beads, marker, and wire. The tail was simply created from a purchased pattern with changes made to the fin and main tail to allow for zipping up of feet into tail for photos. The top is a bodice which I hand-beaded/glued to match the design as closely as was possible. Changes were made where needed.
