Why is the idea of mermaids so enchanting and beguiling? The idea of half human half fish creatures, who's singing lured sailors in deep sea, the little mermaid costume fuels every one's imagination.

The licensed version of Disney features little mermaid costume in a specific color combination and pattern. The costume of Ariel consisted of a bikini style top in blue color and a green colored skirt to represent the sea. The mermaid is signified by a tail and the costume creates this illusion in two ways. One is a tight fin like skirt that holds the legs together restricting free movement and the other is a flared out skirt at the back. Youngsters experiment the little mermaid costume in various colors such as the vibrant red or purple or metallic gold, silver and other shiny colors.

While the children's little mermaid costume come in two piece, the bikini top and the skirt with the midriff being naked, adults costume comes with a skin colored fabric in between. Ariel has a reputation to maintain and adults surely don't want to convey wrong messages.

You can find a whole range of little mermaid costumes on the internet through online sites that offer catalogs with color, size and material description. Before buying one you would want to consider a few things. The adult sized little mermaid costume should allow comfortable space to walk and the bikini style top should not put you in an awkward position when you lift hands or bend forwards.

On the sequined fabric's middle potion wrap the tulle so that the fabric is broken into two parts giving the illusion of a bra. Cover the tulle with the ribbon and sew it in place. Now take the fabric meant for the skirt and attach it on the downside of the shirt. The length of the fabric should cover the potion between mid torso and mid calf.

Attach the green tulle over the meeting place of the two fabrics to hide the stitching marks. It also gives the hint of sea spray. Sew the netting to the bottom of the skirt to flare out to at least 2 inches, cover the stitch marks with tulle, also flaring out to 2 inches. Embellish the backside with silk ribbons.
