that looks really good very close to the broadway costume...have you ever thought of making costumes to sell cuz id totally buy stuff from you...how much did it cost you to make that if you dont mind me asking???

i dont mind... now keep in mind this is a year long project... and a little bit is purcahsed at a time... and the fact that amount of fabric the tentacles took up... and hard wear.... and swaraski crystals... and everything... my grand total was about a thousand dollars spread over about 8 months... and im not lying to sound more extravagant than it was... it reall was about a thousand dollars at the end of the project

hey im gonna be ursula in the school play and i need to know... WHERE DID U GET THOSE AWESOME TENTACLES??? i have google searched it like a million times!! its impossible to find a decent ursula costume...

[uluvmybigego]

i made them... they are long cone shaped "pillows"... then the black "webbing was sewn inbetween them... then i made "spikes" and sewed them to the tetacles.... then i put buttonholes in the back of the dress were underneath i wore a belt with metal links was worn... the metal links went through the button holes and then tentacles hooked to the links... heavy but it looked good ha ha ha thanks for the comment

From one costumer to another, very good job! I applaud you for your tentacles. Very similar to the broadway costume. I've seen the actual costume up close, and I want to give you a hint on how to make the center front look the way it does on broadway - there is a black "web" of crocheted yarn over top of the entire green area which creates that broken up texture. Add that, or something like that to it and it will be even more amazing.

i never thought to crochet the webbing... i used lace with holes cut in it... it was more subtle then i thought it would be but added another layer to diffuse my appliques... but thanks for the crafting epiphany lol
