A Mermaid's Tale
Mermaids will forever have a special place in my heart and I wanted something to carry the magic of Lorelei into my daily life, so of course, I needed a magical mermaid skirt! This yarn, Anzula Milky Way is truly spectacular and special, it really makes this skirt sing! The body of the skirt really gets to shine, while the edging is what makes this piece dance. Whether you are headed to an afternoon at the beach, a shopping trip, or even just to the office, this Mermaid’s tale has got your back!
