"...you can be A mermaid, not The Little Mermaid..." And we are not going "to pretend [your] hair is red". This is the tulle, and sparkles and some scary, shiny, fish scale-like fabric that I bought to make the little one's Halloween costume, after much indecision - princess, mermaid, princess, mermaid.
This is what I envision
This is either genius, or the the craziest idea yet. I am guessing somewhere in-between.
Genuis, we'll go with genuis. I can't wait. I'm so jealous of your mad sewing skills.
Did I tell you I can't wait to see the costume? Is it Hallowe'een yet?

Huh! Nina wants to be either a princess or a mermaid for halloween. Coincidence? Maybe they've learned how to use the phone for real!

I can't wait to see this finished.
The pile of fabrics looks delish!

Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous. I can't wait to see finished photos. The drawing is DARLING.
Claire was going back and forth between "pumpkin" and "Ariel," and we weren't having Ariel, so we didn't hear her when she said that, and ordered a pumpkin costume from Lillian Vernon, and she is very excited to be a pumpkin and has forgotten all about being Ariel.
If I could sew I could have given her the option of being "a mermaid." You are so clever.
