This is Kylee's mermaid costume. I made the skirt out of an old blue prom dress that I actually never wore anywhere except Walmart one crazy night with my friends. I didn't use a pattern, just eyeballed it. The flowers and the straps for what Kylee calls her "shell boobies" were made from felt and the rainbow stripey fabric was just some extra I had lying around from another project. The "shell boobies" are made from shoulder pads. I made the round pouches for the bra and put the felt straps in at the same time so that they were connected already when I turned the pouches inside out. I left a gap in the bottom of each pouch to put in the shoulder pads. I cut the shoulder pads to the right size after I made the pouches. It's a lot easier to cut the shoulder pads to the right size after making the pouches than it is to make pouches the right size to fit the pads. I used felt to make the flowers and hand sewed them on for some fancy finishing touches.
