This is a super easy and pretty cheap prop, I used about 2-3 yards of organza, Link below. If you happen to spot yourself in some of the con footage at the end of the video please leave a comment and I will pin it so people can know where you are :)

    I'm way old, not into cosplay, and somehow ended up on your channel and love it. I'm fascinated by your sewing techniques (and I don't sew either). The jellyfish reminded me of Strawberry Shortcake character hats. Like I said, I'm old.

    This is bringing back some memories as to my current UFO of my Princess Jellyfish cosplay in which it looks just like a moon jellyfish with pearls and frills and fringe to create the look of a jellyfish on the skirt portions with fringed ruffles on the organza petticoat. I got as far as the skirt and the bodice is still in pieces and thank the cosplay gods its a corset back since I doubt it will fit if its a zipper back.

    Random hack: sergers are super expensive (like $1000). But you can get a really nice general sewing machine for the same price or less that has an overlock stitch and foot. It's not quite as fast as a serger and it won't cut the fabric for you. But I've used mine to death and I only need to have one machine.
