Ariel - The Little Mermaid
Character: Ariel from The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is a 1989 American animated musical fantasy film. A young mermaid princess is curious about humans and life on land, so she trades her voice for legs and a chance to be human.
This costume consists of: a black corset, a 3/4 sleeve blue shirt, a blue circle skirt, a wig and a hair bow. I love that corset. I made it myself out of ultrasuede (faux leather). It feels really nice, and laces down the front and back. The shirt and hair bow are made out of plain weave cotton I had lying around. I always wanted to make a Disney princess dress.
I really enjoyed the hair and makeup. [the eyebrows are red lip liner to match the wig] I tried watching a youtube tutorial to get the look right (I didn't do it quite right, because I didn't have any blue contacts). I also did her mermaid costume. check it out!
Pictures were taken at San Jose State University, CA. I'm aware they're all very bright/over exposed, this was a first attempt at on-location photography with an umbrella flash [it didn't help that it was the middle of summer and was already sunny].
