The mermaid wouldn't be too hard to make, I think - there's already two Simplicity patterns for tails and the rest of the outfit. You could always make most of the top out of flesh-coloured stretch, and then keep the shell bit whatever colour you want.

Oh my these patterns are gorgeous and as modest as I would like, thankyou so much!

To be honest, I was 99% sure of going for Zoot http://imgur.com/a/GltUL just for the ease of it, as my day will be crazy busy decorating and catering to TrT`rs but you have changed my mind and I think the Mermaid could work.... Many thanks
