There&#8217;s a ton of fabric folded up under the obi but I think I did a very good job of keeping it neat and tidy. I really love how the theme and colours came together, and this gorgeous octopus obidome with pearls and red synthetic coral pieces from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/shop\/PintoPonyProductions\">PintoPonyProductions<\/a> was the perfect crowning touch.<\/p>\n<p>Back when I did the <a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2017\/09\/disney-princess-kitsuke-project-complete\/\">Disney Princess Project<\/a> a lot of folks suggested I do villains. While it wasn&#8217;t my intention, between the purple tones and aquatic motifs this outfit has a definite Ursula vibe to it. Maybe I will do the villains after all!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Flamenco;\"><h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Items used in this
