Is it safe to iron?** A: I would say it is not safe to iron. Maybe try laying the tail flat on the floor and putting something heavy on it to smooth it down. Probably would burn if using an iron. **Q: Is this difficult to walk in?** A: It would have been difficult to walk in if it were tight, but I bought 1 size up and just shortened the bottom with a glue gun. **Q: Is this the todlers size?** A: Yes I bought for my 4 year old last year **Q: Is the pink shell head band included?** A: Yes it is. They are shiny pink foam shells that slide onto the included white/translucent head band. Very cute. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome costume!!! *by S***. on November 11, 2011* My granddaughter wanted to be the little mermaid for Halloween & after reading the reviews, I decided to buy this costume. The picture does not do it justice!! It's really cute and the tail part looks like a real mermaid tail.It does run big; I bought the 3-4 Toddler size and she is @40 lbs. & wears 5T clothes. It was the perfect length (she's @42 inches high). It fit snug, but on our cold Halloween night she was able to wear a fleece long-sleeved top & pants in dark purple underneath due to the stretchiness of the costume's knit fabrics. To my surprise it didn't look "lumpy" or bulked up at all - it looked fabulous!!! Very graceful & lovely on my g-daughter.I would caution though that it's a lightweight costume, you can see through it in the leg area and it needs pants or leggings or tights underneath it. Also some of the green "sequins" fell off in the leg area over time, but I didn't notice it unless I looked closely. Also, the tiara is poorly made, but we used a separately-purchased Ariel crown and jewelry set with the seashell necklace that sings instead.All in all, a terrific-looking costume!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very pretty; get the boa, too *by D***. on October 8, 2011* This is a very pretty costume! As soon as it arrived, my daughter wore it for a couple of hours. I appreciate that it's not Disney -- just a nice, general mermaid costume. It's often cold on Halloween where we live, so I was excited for the long sleeves and full coverage. It does run big, as others have said. My daughter usually wears a 6X up to a 7/8, depending on how things are cut. I got her the 4-6X, and it's perfect. Others have said the shells fall off the headband. This is true. I plan to glue them in place with my favorite craft glue (Aleene's). The tail sweeps the ground, as a mermaid's tail should. I have a little concern about it getting stepped on/dirty, but I think having feet showing underneath would ruin the mermaid look. We might pin it up a bit. The tail is very sparkly, and I appreciate that the bottom is lined with something stiff so it will be a bit stronger and keep its shape. The boa comes separately, and you should get it -- it's an especially nice one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A total steal at this price! *by C***F on October 14, 2013* My daughter is really into dress-up clothes right now, and also wants to be a mermaid for Halloween. I previously purchased one of those Disney Ariel costumes for about $20, but as many different versions as they have, I feel like they all miss the mark of actually looking like a mermaid. I was hesitant to order this one, but decided at just over $12 it was worth a try (at the very least we could add it to her dress-up clothes.) It is PERFECT!!! We bought the medium 3-4 for my 3 year old daughter. She is pretty tall for her age at 38 inches and 30 lbs. The costume is a great size, but slightly long (ie room to grow). I plan on pinning it up a couple inches around the waist for Halloween use. I feel like the quality is great for the cost, but note the sequins are pretty much just glued on, so will likely start to fall off with lots of wear. But really, if you're thinking about it, do it - I don't think you'll be disappointed! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1639011-california-costumes-lil-mermaid-girls-costume-medium](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1639011-california-costumes-lil-mermaid-girls-costume-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
