Cap sleeves layer iridescent tulle over glitter fabric for that underwater shimmer. The skirt's asymmetrical hi-low hemline flows shorter at the front (around knee-length) and longer at the back, finished with scalloped green satin and purple tulle ruffles shaped like mermaid fins.

Avoid the dryer — heat can damage the lenticular film and fade the graphics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can she wear this over regular clothes, or does it need a layer underneath?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is fully lined and opaque. A singlet or bike shorts underneath works for modesty if she's wearing it for active play or outdoor events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this suitable for a full day at school or a birthday party?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the sleeveless design and lightweight skirt layers make it comfortable for extended wear.
