Octopus Seawitch Dress and Swimwear
Handmade Octopus Swimtail and/or Special Event dress is a new dimension of wearable art in the Mermaid world. I designed this dress for the Mermaids who have seen the dark side of the ocean, who love to swim in the deep enchanting sea, but cant find their place among the myriad of same old cookie cutter tails and do-gooders. I designed this Octopus Tail for the real sea witches!
The outer shell of the dress is airbrushed with permanent fabric paints, and then hand painted with natural and realistic details such as freckling and shading. The underlayers of the tentacles can be either hand painted or sublimation printed depending on preference. All eight tentacles are thoughtfully engineered with hidden airholes so that air is not trapped within when underwater, thus allowing the tentacles to writhe and twirl freely. Additionally, the dress comes with a hidden button closure faux panty that keeps the bottom tentacles snug to the body in and out of the water, so there is no riding or floating up.
Made from aqualife PBT fabric, which is the only fabric available that is truly chlorine and salt resistant, the knit fabric will maintain its stretch and durability for years to come, providing soft, stretchable, durable comfort and hugging fit.
Aquarium workers as well as divers have frequently commented on the watchful, intelligent eyes of these cephalopods..i wanted to capture that same curious, and slightly menacing intelligence with a bold statement centerpiece of a beautiful, handpainted glass eye. I custom order these amazing glass eyes from the talented Christine Musser, an Etsy glass artist, and i think it really completes the wild and realistic look of this seawitch octopus tail.
For Cosplay events, or Mermaid themed parties, or even a Halloween or Eccentric Ball, this Octopus Swim Tail easily becomes an amazing dress to play your part. It will look just as beautiful with a pair of heels and an elegant updo as it does in the water or on the beach.
Did i mention how much easier this is to swim/ get into than a regular mermaid tail and monofin rig? So comfortable, and so witchy and cool!!
