The mermaid!

[lindseythefork.livejournal.com]

So, here is the mermaid I made for my daughter (she's almost three and has been on a Little Mermaid kick). While it's adorable and she loves it, it doesn't really scream MERMAID!! when you look at it. I think it's partially because I chose blue for the skirt/tail because the fabric store didn't have any good greens. Anyway! I'm wondering if you guys can think of anything I can do to make it seem more mermaid and less princess-y. :) Thanks!
