Just an idea I made up. But for indoor/dry children's parties offering a package where the children get to dress up in little walkable mermaid tail costumes.
Here is the "vintage" pattern I found.

I plan on just making one tester walking tail to see how much work will be put into the making of this option. And only the bottom half of the costume. I'll be making out of muslin fabric dyed with fabric dye and painting little scales on with a stencil with acrylic paint mixed with heat set fabric/textile medium. I know this sounds a little crazy to put so much work into a little thing but I figure if I make like 2-4 of each color and 2-4 in each size. I'll probably eventually just modify my pattern because there is a copy right on the pattern where I'm not able to use this pattern against commercial/manufacturing use and I want to be able to sell the tails if the parents end up wanting to buy one for their child. I'm kinda getting off topic but let me know your ideas on this little optional package I would offer when I start my mermaid party business.
