This one was an interesting direction to take, I wanted to make something different than the classic (draw the human body and place the animal in as a head XD
For me some species of jellyfish looks ethereal, so I wanted to give that impression with the tengacles and folds waving around and working as clothes accessories.

Turning a jellyfish into a character - anthro, humanoid or anything else - is a real task!
I would never do anything like this nor have I ever seen such a thing... and that is simply cool!
^^
I love how the tentacles are woven into the overall design and we get an impression of clothing (a dress) here.
One thing I would have done different: The feet!
You know that jellyfish have large tentacles that float down the water... it's the largest part of their body. The head is right at the surface and the rest goes down. Well, in my opinion this would've been a great chance to turn the feet into tentacles as well.
Since the character really does NOT need feed to move, they are obsolete. And I imagine if the feet were gone... and only the wavy dress like thing is going down... and down. You can still show something like "legs"... but they would turn into large tentacles in the end. That was my opinion.

It was funny working with the jellyfish, anyone can create a concept with it and peculiar designs. I did wanted to stay away with the concept of "make a human body and put the whole jellyfish in the head and that´s it. And yeah, I was considering ideas like making the arms tentacles or the legs or making a skirt made of tentacles, but I ended up more with the idea of a humanoid look that the dress looking is actually her skin making the shape of it, that includes the folds in the forearm and the ankles.
I wanted to give an ethereal and ellegant look. And I almost did, unfortunately the results wasn´t as I wanted because mi vision of it is that it has some translucid effects and luminicense too. With this style I couldn´t make it. Wish I could draw it again in my other coloring style, I bet I could make something pretty with it owo
