Velvet, satin, cotton thread, zipper

Selkie Costume

Image description (from the artist): A structured costume on a dress form. The costume is a body-con jumpsuit, fit snugly to the form. The fabric has a soft sheen of velvet and is spotted gray and black. In certain lighting, the colors shift from matte to shiny. The costume is ankle length and short sleeved. On the sleeves are ruffles around the entire edge. There is a long black zipper in the back. Vibrant green satin strips are ruffled and wrapped around the costume. Three pieces of satin start from the left of the bodice and flow down. A piece wraps around the leg of one side, as if the costume is caught in seaweed. The edges of the green satin are left unhemmed, causing some fraying strings to be shown.

Image description 2: A fitted bodysuit with a black-and-silver splattered pattern, black ruffled cap sleeves, and a twisting olive-green ruffled trim. Displayed on a dress form with printed text on the neck.
