Throughout the years I have made many costumes. This is one of my favorites and it was so easy to make. I just bought a lace bandeau bra and put a starfish in the middle with fabric glue. You can find starfish as well as other shells at just about any craft store. I got mine at Michael's in the decorative aisle. For the skirt/fin, I used a stretchy fabric with sequins and sewed it into a skirt. It's an easy sew, practically a straight line, but for those who do not sew you could easily wrap it around yourself twice and safety pin it from the inside. I found the netting at Michael's as well. I cut mine into a large triangle that was large enough to wrap around my waist. I glued starfish and seashells all over it. The netting is not stretchy, so I recommend just using safety pins to attach to your skirt and put it on last. Just add a flower to your hair and you'll be the prettiest mermaid out on Halloween night!
