adult little mermaid History & Costumes

Shimmering in the distance, like a beacon to sailors and other seafarers. Mermaids have long held an aquatic mystique. With the upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower half with a fish-like tail and fins, these beauty queens of the ocean have been popular in myth, legend, and even fairy tales. Some better known mermaids are Daryl Hannah's walking mermaid, Madison from the 1984 film, "Splash," and of course, the red-haired, silver-voiced charmer ariel from disney's "the little mermaid."
Children may want to play dress up with officially licensed disney "Little Mermaid" costumes, dressed as ariel, while adults may opt for a look of their own creation with the aid of a variety of mermaid and sea goddess costumes. Giving the illusion of a glittering fin-like tail, you won't have to scramble for your sea legs with a cumbersome costume. Many adult women's mermaid costumes feature clever styling that will allow you to comfortably dive right in and mingle at your next costume party. Functional as well as fashionable, many mermaid costumes come trimmed with sequins, sexy corset styling or halter/bra-tops trimmed in sequins. Accessorize with a long mermaid wig or with starfish and seashells in your hair!
