Sharkboy and Lavagirl Plus Size Sharkboy Fancy Dress Costume 2X Blue

Product Information

You can use fluorescent orange paint to customize a plain pair of pink boots for the flowing lava look, or you can search online to see if you can find a pre-designed pair of Lavagirl costume boots instead. Lava Hands: To make the “lava” really look like it was on fire, I also added a single string of gold sequin ribbon right down the middle. Finally, finish off the costume with a pair of gray fishing boots to create the impression that you're swimming through the water like a shark. Lavagirl wears a pair of dark pink boots with glowing orange lava streaming down around them, as well as wrist cuffs matching this style. She also has a circular belt-like accent at the waist of her suit, pink and orange in color.

While Sharkboy can be impulsive at times, it's important to remember that he is also intelligent and can make good decisions when necessary. You may want to show off this side of his personality by engaging in deep conversations or solving puzzles at the party. To really complete the look, invest in an adult Sharkboy wig. This will give you Sharkboy's signature spiky hair and help you look like the character from the movie.Then I glued the “lava” down. I chose red sequin ribbon cause they would give me the movement and what girl doesn’t love sequins. To add some extra detail to the costume, consider adding gray work gloves to mimic the texture of a shark's skin. These can be found at most hardware or outdoor supply stores. Sharkboy wears a gray bodysuit with shark-inspired designs. This includes silver body armor on his chest and wrists with red-accented gloves. The armor on his chest features the shape of a shark’s open mouth with pointy teeth.

I layered the fuchsia felt on top of the gray felt to get a burnt 3D look to the lava pieces. Then I glued them on around the sequins.This layered felt does not stretch at all. The top is a little tight to get on, I may have to add a zipper if she wants this to remain part of her dress-ups, so I choose to just use some fabric painton the pants (we need to have the stretch and movement in the pants). It saves me so much time, especially when I am layering different cuts of fabric to get 3 dimensional elementsto the costume. I used 2 layers of felt glued together, the open shark mouth was cut out of the top layer, then I layered design elements on top with another layer of felt. I used fabric glue to attach everything here.
