Happy Summer Everyone!
I made a mermaid tail to match the mermaid top and crown. This is a crochet fusion project which you need both sewing skill and crocheting skill.
I use my old white skirt and turn it into a pencil-shaped skirt. then add the tail using hard tulle and soft tulle. I can hand sew the whole skirt (Just a bit time-consuming for the ruffle parts)
After that, I added the crochet appliques to decorate it.
I hope you like it. I show tutorials for both DIY mermaid tail and the pattern for crochet appliques.

I made the whole costume to fulfill my dream of being the Little Mermaid.
There are 3 parts of my costume which you can find upon these links,
