Step 7Test fit and make adjustments or fixes
At this point, a test fit reveals that the shark head will not sit properly on the child's shoulders, it's too big and her shoulders slip inside (if you flex the head enough), and when that happens the child can't reach her arms out, as they are trapped to her sides by the shark head.
I decided to cut out arm-gaps for her arms to stick out, and then added two strips of duct tape inside the head to act as shoulder straps, much like a backback. To make sure that the duct tape didn't stick to her later, I stuck sheets of cling film to the sticky side of the tape, much like in the last step, so the straps are only stuck to the head of the costume and not the wearer.
