Mermaid Costumes

Merfolk are mythological ocean dwellers who have the lower body of a fish and the upper body of a woman. Folklore tells stories of how they distract sailors with their beauty and hypnotic singing voices causing them to go off course or run aground. Stories mention mermaids dragging humans to their underwater kingdom of Atlantis only to drown them. It is debated whether they simply did not know that humans cannot breathe underwater of if they did it out of spite for trespassing on their ocean. Regardless of a sea nymph's existence or their motives, we can all agree that the mermaid costumes here accurately depict what we think of when we think of water sprites. Make a splash!

History of Mermaids

One of the most famous ocean myths is the mermaid – the half fish, half woman beauty who would lure seamen and fisherman toward them! This collection of beautiful mermaid costumes helps you get an amazing outfit for a night of costume parties, going out for trick-or-treating, and any other kind of dress-up event! Mermaids have appeared in tons of different myths and stories from all over the world, but they may have first appeared in ancient Assyrian stories, in which the Goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Many stories may have been influenced by the Sirens of Greek mythology, who would sit on rocks and sing, luring the men on boats to crash their vessels into the rocks. There have been numerous historical accounts, including Christopher Columbus during his exploration of the Caribbean, which may have been inspired by sightings of manatees and similar aquatic animals. They are traditionally very beautiful, wear seashells as adornment, and have long, flowing hair, with shimmering fish tails comprising their lower halves.
