Why the mermaid costume represents magic under the sea
Mermaids have fascinated people for centuries in myths and fairy tales from all over the world — half human, half fish, they live in a mysterious underwater world full of color and wonder. The costume picks up on this image, pairing sparkling, ocean-blue colors with a scaled tail instead of legs. Unlike spooky Halloween designs, this costume is entirely about imagination, beauty, and the magic of the sea.
