My dad owns a waterproof camcorder online Zumba classes and I use it more than him. Check!

Well, out tops could use some work...

I'm probably going to just decorate a normal bikini, covering it, etc, but I could use ideas for decorations. *Nods* *WILL POST UPDATES WHEN NEEDED*

That sounds like such a fun project! A mermaid series filmed between a pool and a lake has so much creative potential you’re basically living every fantasy film-maker’s dream.


For the tops, decorating regular bikinis is definitely the right call; they’re comfy, secure, and give you a solid base to build on. You could try using fabric shells, sequins, or iridescent scale-pattern fabric to make them shimmer under the water. Rhinestones or pearls glued along the straps can look beautiful, especially if you use waterproof or flexible fabric glue. If you want something that feels a bit more “realistic mermaid,” adding layers of sheer fabric or tulle that flow in the water gives a really magical effect when you’re filming. You can also play with color gradients like turquoise fading into purple or coral pink — to match your tails. A touch of gold or silver trim around the edges makes everything pop on camera.
