My roommates just got back from a con in Philadelphia! Callie has always adored The Little Mermaid, and she got the chance to meet Jodi Benson, voice of the animated Ariel! @spark-of-jenius made her an entire costume. She got the sewing pattern, started putting it together, and realized that the pattern was sized wrong and the waist size was TWENTY INCHES off what it was supposed to be! But she’s such a good costumer that she managed to remake the pattern to make it all work and look amazing.

New commission: Prince Ariel! I designed & made this Prince version of Ariel's pink gown for a customer to wear to Tokyo Disney! Her gold voice seashell is on the belt, and there are shells, starfish, and Tritons trident on the cape band. He's going to be so beautiful!
I saw a very low-budget The Little Mermaid musical and got to keep Ariel’s costume afterward. I wore it to a book club where we were coincidentally reading The Little Mermaid.
This brown and golden costume was first seen on Count Ariel in the fifth episode of the first season of Magnificent Century. It's next appearance is on an Hungarian courtier in the first episode of the second season. It was worn again by Stephen V Locust, Prince of Moldavia in the thirtieth episode of the third season.
The costume also appears on Adam von Herberstein in the ninth episode of the first season of Magnificent Century: Kösem.
