This beautifully handcrafted costume is one of a kind. Each faux scale was hand sewn on and painted. Top is made with authentic seashells, and is also embellished with faux pearls and sparkly rhinestones. Top is a VS swim top (great support) that can fit 36c/34d approximately and bottom can fit small/medium. This costume is sure to stand out and we can promise no one will have the same one !

sunrise7 100?

Sep 07Reply

shnnon90 @sunrise7 sorry 125 is the least I can do.

Sep 07Reply

shnnon90 @tsammet sorry girl I wish I could! But between the price of the top and skirt (not even including embellishment) I'd be losing money. Not to mention all the time I spent hand sewing each individual scale and shell on.

shnnon90 @tsammet cute stuff! But I'm trying to consolidate not add for stuff to my closet at home lol I could make you this costume using a less expensive skirt if you can only do $100

Sep 10Reply

shnnon90 @tsammet the skirt is like a stretchy jean material (very flattering, hugged my body perfectly, good quality) and I actually used a new VS bathing suit top, and we all know how pricey they are lol but that made the top fit great.

Sep 10Reply

shnnon90 @tsammet yeah it's underwire, but vs technically measured me at a 34dd and I still fit this top lol and I got the shells from the beach and also a craft store, as well as the pearls (they're not real of course, that would make the costume a whole lot more expensive lol)

Sep 10Reply

shnnon90 @tsammet it's the bandeau with underwire in it

sunrise7 How does the back look like

Sep 17Reply

shnnon90 @sunrise7 the back of the top looks like a bathing suit back. It is covered in tan fabric with two pearls at the clasp.

cariross You need to make these and sell them for like $300. It is an amazing costume

ladylexy94 what are the bottom scales made of?

Sep 30Reply

shnnon90 @ladylexy94 felt !

Sep 30Reply

shnnon90 @cariross aww thanks! ☺️

Sep 30Reply

shnnon90 @tsammet aww I didn't think you were still interested 😔 but after thinking about all the time and money for materials I put into the costume, I can't see myself parting with it for anything less. Brands like forplay sell cheesy cheap costumes for 100+, so I had to raise the price

shnnon90 @iplayfashion sorry girl, no trades

shnnon90 @mruggiere sorry no trades 😔

Oct 08Reply

mruggiere How much for the bottom?

Oct 08Reply

shnnon90 @mruggiere that's the expensive part. Between the price of the actual skirt and each individual hand sewn "scale", I wouldn't feel comfortable charging under 150 for it

Oct 09Reply

janelds26 This is amazing! How did you attach all the shells onto the bra and the embellishments on the top of the skirt?!

Oct 11Reply

shnnon90 @janelds26 I used many different methods: hot glue, sewing, etc...

sunrise7 For the person who told you that it could sell for 300 why didn't she purchased it herself. You were having a hard time selling at 125 and you priced it double the amount afterwards. I'm a seller and I'm just trying to give you some advice hun.

Oct 15Reply

shnnon90 @sunrise7 you surely have the right to your own opinion, but I am the only one who knows how much time and effort I put into it. There are cheap looking mermaid costumes selling for 190 on some sites, so I have decided that I don't want to accept anything less for a customized one of a kind handmade embellished costume that I slaved over for over 2 weeks straight. If that price is too high for you, you're more than welcome to go buy one at your local party city. Thanks for your input though 😊

monuex Hi is this available @shnnon90

Sep 15Reply

monuex ???

Sep 19Reply

monuex Hi I am really interested may I know if this is available or not

Sep 23Reply

shnnon90 @monuex so sorry I kept forgetting to respond. But yes it is, it just might take a little longer to ship bc I'd wanna do a couple alterations on it.

Sep 24Reply

monuex Oh okay what kind of alterations ?

Sep 24Reply

monuex @shnnon90

Sep 24Reply

shnnon90 @monuex I actually started to take the costume apart before I decided to sell it. So I have to redo parts

Sep 25Reply

monuex How long wil it take? Also I don't really want to spend an arm and a leg for a costume worn only once :/ @shnnon90

Sep 26Reply

shnnon90 @monuex yeah understandable.

Sep 27Reply

monuex Yeah I'm still interested tho if it still looks like the pictures and if you are willing to go lower

Sep 28Reply

monuex @shnnon90

shnnon90 @monuex how much

Sep 29Reply

monuex How much @shnnon90

Sep 29Reply

monuex 100?

Sep 29Reply

shnnon90 @monuex sorry no way I can go that low. The skirt and top used as the base cost 100 themselves. Then my labor and supplies are worth so much in addition. I wouldn't feel comfortable parting with it for that low, pretty firm on my price

Sep 29Reply

shnnon90 @monuex I could maybe make you one with a less expensive skirt and top as the base

Sep 29Reply

monuex How about 185?

shnnon90 @ncas960 150

bfgoodenough So I can't afford a costume this year and yours is so incredibly cute and creative! I was hoping you could tell me what kind of fabric you used and how long it took you to make it? Any advice would be much appreciated and I'll share your listing to my followers(:

Oct 05Reply

shnnon90 @bfgoodenough aw thanks. The top is a bathing suit top with shells and assorted embellishments, then for the bottom you can either make a midi pencil skirt or use a pre made one. I then cut the individual scales out of felt, and hand sewed them on. Very tedious, but if you're ambitious you can do it

Oct 05Reply

shnnon90 @bfgoodenough then I added the bottom ruffle piece which was also made of felt

Oct 05Reply

bfgoodenough Thank you so much you are literally the best!
