Costume Iridescent Fish: Custom-Made Sockeye Salmon

Adorable and unique! Custom-made, beautifully iridescent sockeye salmon fish costume. Roomy enough for smaller-framed adults to wear, it was originally made for teenagers in a youth talent competition in Idaho. The amazing seamstress created a pattern using an episode from the old TV series WKRP in Cincinnati as inspiration. In the episode, “Fish Story”, the radio station sends an employee to an event dressed as a carp fish, the station mascot (as seen in the last photo). The seamstress paused several scenes in the show as she studied & sketched to create the pattern. Truly impressive!  •Model is a 5’4” adult. •Costume is put on by pulling the body over the person’s head. The fish head part of the costume is a separate piece.  •Unlined. •Measurements:  -Length of body-Approx. 54” -Width across widest part of body-Approx. 25” -Fin (Sleeve) Length from armpit-Approx. 25” -Pit to pit-Approx. 16 in. •Velcro attaches bottom edge of head to the collar area of the costume.  •Mouth of fish is open for clear vision.  •Roomy body & front kick pleat allow unencumbered walking.  •Arm fins are completely closed & cover the entire hand.

They have a grueling migration, traveling over 900 miles from the Pacific Ocean to their home waters in the Sawtooth Valley.
