"I'd not thought of using scollops for armholes or hems ... This would be a very pretty detail for any simple little dress. I can see them on a LBD and looking divine!"

"It would be great if there was a simple single page drawing of this pattern that would just give you the basic outline with measurements. It looks fairly simple to make so it would be simple if it just gave the basic parts with the neck armholes, then the width length measurements below the armholes."

Diy Ghost Mermaid Costume

"Learn how to make a DIY ghost mermaid costume with a mermaid dress and a white cape. This costume is the perfect mix of cute and creepy. My kids love wearing cute or pretty costumes, but they also love being creepy and scary. My daughter wanted that this year, but we had to throw around some ideas. We’ve already done a lot of the scary Halloween characters in years past, and we’ve even done a skeleton mermaid. We finally decided on a ghost mermaid because it’s cute and creepy. I’ve made both lots of ghost things and mermaid things, so I knew I could combine them. I tried looking up ghost mermaid costumes, but I only found pictures of ghost mermaids so we kind of invented a new character!"
